[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3845365, member: 48072"] For rifle rounds (especially if you are a 6.5 Grendel fan), I highly recommend watching Carpe Sus' YouTube channel as he is actually a Dr. himself and goes into necropsies pretty thoroughly - all things considering he's doing it out in a field at 0100 in the morning. The problem with animals being humanely dispatched first, before being shot to test the wound ballistics of a cartridge/bullet is actually larger than one might think. Yes, you will still get the same penetration and essentially the same wound channel (which is quite useful still)...but you lose the knowledge of how quickly a particular wound would be lethal. Plus, the pig carcass photos in the article are much more the size of a child-adolescent, not a 250lb aggressive male human. ^ Knowing if you can break through a rib and penetrate a lung is useful, but not knowing if or how long your assailant still has the ability to raise a gun/knife/etc... and deliver a lethal wound to you is lost.
