It is very interesting that you have yet to provide a citable source for your claim made on page 4 of this thread in post #94-

-that Wolberg manipulated data in his paper despite being offered several opportunities to do so. As a result, I believe that anyone reading this thread may now reasonably assume that you have no way to support the claim that you've made against Wolberg.

Given your recent history (above), it is hard to take this very seriously since the content of your commentary suggests that you haven't read the book.
Neither Schwartz nor MacPherson (in their respective books that present highly researched testing approaches employing water as a medium) claim to be able to quantify the physiological effects of bullet penetration beyond the amount of tissue that would be crushed during a bullet's penetration through gelatin/soft tissue.
What's next?
Are you now going to accuse Schwartz and MacPherson of intellectual dishonesty without any citable sources or having read their books?

I believe that approach has been tried already by M&S. Of course, we are chasing our tails since their methodology has been thoroughly debunked.

I guess that if I was operating in an informational vacuum I might be inclined to do the same thing. Fortunately, we have the work of some pretty educated individuals (Roberts, Fackler, DiMaio, etc- in addition to those named above) to rely upon if we wish to avail ourselves of it.
Sure, believe what you want.
