What resources should be allocated to the medical team in direct contact with the enemy? What training should be provided for the infantryman? What timeframe should be followed to reduce losses?

A second article (technique) which proposes an initiation to ballistic injury (to make it simple what happens when a projectile hits and penetrates the tissues). How does a bullet behave once it leaves the barrel? What happens during penetration - depending on the type of projectile?

A review of the physical laws (and unchangeable until proven otherwise) that determine the interactions between two bodies (the ball and the body in this case) and a set of visuals that put the author's demonstration in perspective.

Good reading !
