Tissue properties along the projectile path are another factor in this theory. Greater den-
sity tissue would allow more kinetic energy to be deposited by the projectile along the
path. Greater tissue strength would allow more kinetic energy to be absorbed by the body.
Greater elasticity in the tissue would allow more kinetic energy to be dissipated. Fackler
[7] states that projectiles with the same kinetic energy that impact different locations will
have completely different effects. This seems to be supported by at least parts of this theory.
DiMaio [6] has a theory which states that the same amount of damage occurs once some ...
