It ultimately concluded that no "conclusive evidence could be found for permanent pathological effects produced by the pressure wave". ==Origin of the hypothesis== An early mention of "hydrostatic shock" appeared in Popular Mechanics in April 1942. In the scientific literature, the first discussion of pressure waves created when a bullet hits a living target is presented by E.
Harvey Newton and his research group at Princeton University in 1947: Frank Chamberlin, a World War II trauma surgeon and ballistics researcher, noted remote pressure wave effects.
Fackler's critics argue that Fackler's evidence does not contradict distant injuries, as Fackler claimed, but the WDMET data from Vietnam actually provides supporting evidence for it. A summary of the debate was published in 2009 as part of a Historical Overview of Wound Ballistics Research. ==Distant injuries in the WDMET data== The Wound Data and Munitions Effectiveness Team (WDMET) gathered data on wounds sustained during the Vietnam War.
Thirty-three cases of fatal penetrating chest wounds by a single bullet were selected from a much larger set by excluding all other traumatic factors, including past history. An 8-month study in Iraq performed in 2010 and published in 2011 reports on autopsies of 30 gunshot victims struck with high-velocity (greater than 2500 fps) rifle bullets.
