Is it true that a bullet's shockwave causes internal injuries?
Unclear. Evidence partially supports the idea that pressure or shock waves from a bullet impact can cause remote injury, such as spinal cord damage, and that ballistic trauma can cause internal bleeding. However, no source directly establishes that a bullet's shockwave is a general cause of internal injuries.
