Some animals fall, some fall regain their composure and flee, and others just flee and fall at a further distance. Why do some animals regain after falling and flee or just fleeing is not known. I can only speculate that some animals have a higher pain threshold than others. Bloodshot is caused by bullet shock and I have witnessed bloodshot soft tissue damage from one end of the animal to the other. (external and internal) To state a "temporary disruption" is rather a passive/mild way of discribing what little energy does to an animal.

Actually we can imagine it and have extensively filmed it and studied it to death (pun intended!) Terms like hydrostatic shock and the killer shock wave have been disproven by some very qualified entities like the US government and military, many state studies and imminent people in the field.
