I'm told--again, this isn't one I've seen personally--that if a round
travelling 1400 fps hits anything fluid in a human body that is
significantly larger than a capillary, the shock will transfer through the
fluid and blow the valves out of your heart. It seems a little rediculous,
but 1400 fps is FAST, and bullets do the wierdest things...

Oh, it occurs to me where I picked up the wording for that description: Lone
Star. There's a very good overview in that. And a lot of good stuff about
bullets and guns.
