I think I just uncovered a big difference in how we have interpreted hydrostatic shock. The temporary wound channel is caused by the displacement of tissue due to the elastic nature of it, wich pretty much doesnt hurt anything. The permanent wound channel, is the crush injury from the bullet and its frahgments. Both these things we seem to be dead straight and on the same page. The hydrostatic shoc effects and its ability to remotley wound an animal however is different altogether. The shockwave is not that which swells the tissue causing the temporary wound channel, but the hydraulic shockwave, precipitating at or near the speed of sound away from the wound channel through liquid media... like the veins and arteries, causing massive pressure in other areas away from the impact point. Or is that how you understand it and I misread or misunderstood you just now?
