Now you're doing mental gymnastics. Archery tackle kills by hemorrhaging by making cuts. Hemorrhaging and hemorring alone is what results in archery kills. With firearms, it's trauma. Yes it's true with the initial trauma is survived eventually the animal that was shot will bleed out, but that is neither desired nor the intended result.False. Guns also kill via hemorrhaging by crushing tissue (what you call cutting). Generally you need a fragmenting rifle bullet (often in varmint loads) in order to turn temporary cavity into permanent wounding. Otherwise, the most common rifle wounding mechanism is crushing tissue.
