BWAHAHAHA!
I am reading this wikepedia thing on the AK-47: [link]
In general, to produce a big wound, a bullet should either tumble (yaw) or break apart upon entering a body. The round fired by the AK-47 doesn't always do this:
Depending on where the bullet impacts and at what depth it yaws, the AK-47 is capable of producing a range of wounding effects. In the absence of yaw, the M43 load can pencil through lung tissue with relatively little injury.[27] On a direct hit to the cranium, hydrostatic shock can cause the head to explode.[28] Even in the absence of yaw and a large temporary cavity, a hit to the shoulder can produce significant lung hemorrhaging attributed to stress wave transmission.
So, aim for the head, not the lungs.
whoot! sold a book. I also just packed a box. kinda silly, I know, but it was all lightweight bulky kitchen stuff that I don't need out.
dinner used up some frozen sausage, a little flour and perishables. not the best I could have done, but at least not buying anything.
11.5 weeks to go.

You guys! We're starting to get in patient reports and it's so incredibly thrilling to hear about people's pain scores going from a "8 or 9" to a "1 or 2" within days of treatment. I am so fucking psyched. My grandfather would be so proud. What kills me is that some of them say their Shingles pain is so bad that they're not even *bothering* with the lidocaine topical anesthetic beforehand - they say that *nothing* could be worse than the pain they've already got! That is an incomprehensible amount of pain (to me).
(I have to be careful about what I divulge in public, but this is all being written about for public use anyway.)
javachik, that's so wonderful. Pain reduction for the win!
