CPO Byrd also explained another effect of §i hyper-velocity round, known as cavitation. The passage of the round causes a hole, which is larger and causes more damage than just the puncture effect because of the partial vacuum caused by its speed.
Based on his hunting experience, CPO Byrd testified that the lungs of a deer struck by that round would be turned to a jelly-like consistency, and the heart would be fragmented.
“Is this a load of the type used by the military?” Mr. Fletcher asked.
“No,” CPO Byrd replied. “It was outlawed by the 1906 Hague Convention — because of the trauma caused to the body by this type round ... a full-jacketed (military load) will not transfer energy to the body like a hunting load.”
On cross-examination, Mr. Luke asked CPO Byrd about hunting safety. “It’s good to know what’s behind you ... If you see a deer, you should know what’s behind you?”
“Yes sir — that’s common sense.”
He said that he has known bullets to pass completely through deer.
Would it be possible, Mr. Luke asked, for a bullet to enter small and leave small?
That would mean that the hypersonic bullet had been slowed to subsonic velocity, CPO Byrd replied. “That would mean a tremendous amount of damage to organs inside (caused by the transfer of energy).”
It would be possible for the exit
