If "hydro static shock" is a correct term, then define it in scientific terms.

As to the transfer of energy, remember Newtons 3 laws of motion which deal with acceleration, momentum and momentum transfers and does not deal with energy relationships. Kinetic Energy is a calculation of mass in motion, since the colliding bodies in an inelastic collision are not in motion after the collision then there can not be any energy thus no transfer.

The highest point of the hydrulic pressure that a bullet strike can cause will be at the point of collision, the second highest amount will be along the path of penetration and not at some remote location in the body

Thermo dynamics also must be understood to understand the force that create the wound channel. The circulatory system is a closed system just as is a piping system. The greatest pressure in the system will be at the point that the pressure is being induced into the system. If the system ruptures at the highest point of pressure then the pressure subsides in the rest of the system and in no way can it produce a rupture at a remote location


By shooting a "ballistics pendulum" one is able to measure the amount of momentum transfer. If energy transferred then one could measure the energy transfered, but one cannot.
