THERE is no substitute for velocity and there is no substitute for barrel length to get it.

Sounds logical. However, is the velocity difference between a four inch barrel
significantly less than a six inch barrel? That is, would examining a wound to a deer (if hunting) lead to finding a difference between two identical woulds caused by the two different barrel lengths? Or, in the event of self-defense, would an attacker be dissuaded by a wound caused by a six-inch gun faster than a four-inch gun? And, how could that be proved?
