Links between traumatic brain injury and ballistic pressure waves originating in the thoracic cavity and extremities
Amy Courtney, Michael Courtney
Identifying patients at risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important because research suggests prophylactic treatments to reduce risk of long-term sequelae. Blast pressure wav…
The Ballistic Pressure Wave Theory of Handgun Bullet Incapacitation
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
This paper presents a summary of seven distinct chains of evidence, which, taken together, provide compelling support for the theory that a ballistic pressure wave radiating outwar…
Scientific Evidence for Hydrostatic Shock
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
This paper reviews the scientific support for a ballistic pressure wave radiating outward from a penetrating projectile and causing injury and incapacitation. This phenomenon is kn…
Review of criticisms of ballistic pressure wave experiments, the Strasbourg goat tests, and the Marshall and Sanow data
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
This article reviews published criticisms of several ballistic pressure wave experiments authored by Suneson et al., the Marshall and Sanow "one shot stop" data set, and the Strasb…
Ballistic pressure wave contributions to rapid incapacitation in the Strasbourg goat tests
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
This article presents empirical models for the relationship between peak ballistic pressure wave magnitude and incapacitation times in the Strasbourg goat test data. Using a model…
Relative incapacitation contributions of pressure wave and wound channel in the Marshall and Sanow data set
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
The Marshall and Sanow data set is the largest and most comprehensive data set available quantifying handgun bullet effectiveness in humans. This article presents an empirical mode…
