Which caliber is best

[Vanilla Gorilla]

You've got a suspicious mind. I am neither he nor she. Never heard of them until I started researching for this thread. I am a Brit living in France. They are presumably Americans presumably living in the US, and possibly still working at the United States Military Academy, West Point. Is it their names, qualifications or place of work that destroys their credibility?

I do indeed have a suspicious mind. Particularly when posters I don't recognize begun throwing out Dr. Courtney's name. Dr. Courtney has admitted that his tactic of late has been to use another screen name to tout his findings. I guess he perhaps he needed somebody else to appear to "back him" and his theories.

What destroys his credibility? His theory is that subjects die from brain damage when shot in the chest because the kinetic energy produces a dramatic rise on blood pressure. That in and of itself is enough to make me look askance.

For those who actually are interested in this theory, there discussion of this and links to other discussions at Michael Courtney (I mean Pasteur) is now peddling his snake oil . . . - M4Carbine.net Forums

Edit to add: I'll add a quote taken from one of those other discussions, from a poster who has been debating with him before he began changing his name and supporting his own work under other names.

When he was posting under his real name on other boards he let slip that there was scope for introducing protocol changes in the treatment of gunshot victims, on the basis that brain injuries must be assumed to be present in some gunshot cases even if no clinical evidence was present to support it.

So is he right or wrong? I haven't a clue, but you have said nothing to convince me either way.
