That chart on the right isn't completely wrong but it's not exactly accurate. Just one example, .22lr while a very small bullet that creates a small cavity usually has enough velocity to enter skin but not enough to exit so it actually bounces around inside the body. There's also different types of ammo such as the extreme difference between fmj and hollow point.
What I'm getting from this as a non-American is that the pistol wounds on the left look a lot more treatable & survivable than the wounds on the right caused by military-style rifle ammo. Plenty of US medical experts have pointed this out too. On top of that you have the magazine sizes & firing rates (bump stocks). Yet armchair "experts" continue to claim pistols would be just as lethal in school shootings and assault weapons regulations wouldn't solve anything.

We get it, you're a gun nut and use a lot of words to say "DON'T TAKE MY TOYS!". Assault rifles – a well-established and widely used term at this point that tells everyone exactly what type of gun you're referring to – are the weapons of choice of US school shooters & either legally bought by angry young adults or "borrowed" from parents. Every actual expert confirms they're more accurate than pistols, fire deadlier ammo, have larger mag sizes, and fire at a fast rate (full auto w. bump stock).
Hello, Certified American here, CLS (Combat Life Saver) and Rifle Marksmanship instructor. This chart shows the different wound channels expected out of the most likely ammunition used in a shooting, and is meant to help identify and recognize the different cavitation injuries most commonly associated with that kind of ammo. As for the "treat-ability" of gunshot wounds, that is primarily determined by shot placement and terminal ballistics /1
Rifle and shotgun ammunition generally have more power and greater speed, resulting in potentially greater injury if all the energy of a bullet (measured commonly in Joules) gets delivered onto the target, however, the construction of the bullet greatly impacts its ability to transfer its energy onto a target and deal meaningful damage to it, reffered commonly as Terminal Ballistics. And almost universally Military ammunition (which is actually quite difficult for civilians to buy anyways) /2
is actually less effective against than proper civilian hunting or self-defense munitions, primarily because military ammo must be produced out of cheaper materials in far greater amounts. Out of all risk factors, easy access to high powered rifle and intermediate-caliber semi-automatic firearms is chief among them, that is the right verbage, not "Military" or "Assault". The real danger comes from the very large combination of risk factors present in the US, /3
not just one issue. A whole weapon ban might work over time, despite what many gun activists say, IF you could pass it, but current stocks in the US will fuel a black market for decades. Never mind the difficulty in passing the right legislature.
That looks a lot better, but the typeface is still mangled when you zoom in. Curves become spiky (e.g., the arches of an "m") and every i-dot has a different shape. This is how you make typographers cry
Oh I agree, there's still plenty of improvement to be had. Best solution would be enlarge the image, then fill OG text so it's just the graphics, and then manually enter all the text back with the same font... but that's work lol

“Danger Areas”. Lololololololol……

Will this be part of elementary schools curriculum next year?

4 inches to the left or right and we'd all have a different story to tell

Is this something im too Australian to understand?

It's an aim and ammunition guide for the upcoming school year starting soon in America.

I think the lesson is to not get shot? Dunno, mate.
whistlebuzz
Yes. Be grateful you are
PwnageHobo
Yeah, nah. We sorted this shit out in in the late 90s, rather than hoping thoughts and prayers would fix the issue.

I figured Quigley Down Under was required viewing in Australian public education.

I had never heard of it, and now I'm upset that it exists. What the fuck is that shit?

An excellent movie with Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman.

It's a lot easier to sneak a pistol into places than a rifle.

And yet nearly all school shooters walked right in with an assault rifle.

Aside from that, this image tells me to never AI-enhance anything that contains text. What AI does to fonts isn't pretty.
