True Ballistics: The Medical Secrets of Gunshot Wounds REVEALED

The Truth about Stopping Power

Are you sure that your weapon can bring down your attacker?

Gun enthusiasts spend a lot of time debating the pros and cons of their favorite weapon, favorite caliber, and favorite ammunition. But all these things are academic when you are in a life-threatening encounter. In that circumstance the most important thing isn’t what you’re packing, but rather the weapon's effect on the attacker.

In the life-threatening fight I think you’ll agree that effectiveness on the target is everything. Does the bullet put the attacker out of the fight? Do you know if your weapon and ammunition will be effective? How can you know? Once the fight starts it is a little too late to find out that your weapon is ineffective.

Introducing True Ballistics: The Medical Secrets of Gunshot Wounds.

We a proud to present an exclusive video presentation that will help you evaluate your weapons and ammunition and give you the true medical information about bullets and their effects on the human body. This video features a Chicago Emergency Physician with years of both medical and firearms experience. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Don’t get misled and find that you have an ineffective weapon right when you need it most.

Who is Your Instructor?

Dr. Richard Urgo is a board-certified specialist in emergency medicine. He did his residency at the University of Chicago and has trained and worked in the “knife and gun club” areas of Chicago. Dr. Urgo has years of first-hand experience in treating gunshot wounds. He has been a firearms enthusiast since he started plinking with a .22 rifle at the age of seven. Dr. Urgo has been a member of the International Wound Ballistics Association, Doctors for Integrity in Research and Public Policy and the Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership. He learned the shooting sports from his father, a 32-year Chicago Police Department veteran.

How did this Video Come About?

During his ER training Dr. Urgo noted inconsistencies with what he knew about firearms and was seeing in the ER and what was being taught in the medical textbooks. He recognized that much of what was being taught to physicians was totally incorrect and even some of it politically motivated.

Each physician-in-training must present at “Senior Grand Rounds” in order to graduate from the residency. Senior Grand Rounds is a big deal in medical education. It requires a comprehensive review of the medical literature and a formal presentation to the attending physicians and housestaff off the hospital. Without it, you can’t graduate from the residency. His interest in firearms, self defense, and the shooting sports led him to choose firearm wound ballistics as the topic of his senior grand rounds.

Dr. Urgo reviewed hundreds of journal articles on gunshot wounds, dozens of books on trauma, and every other resource he could get his hands on. He drew from current military sources as well as classic texts by authors such as LaGarde. The research itself took almost two years. When he was done he had created a comprehensive look at the medical effects of gunshot wounds and the treatment of them.

What is Covered?

Some of the topics that were covered in that original presentation were:

Research Methods in Ballistics
The mechanisms of wounding
The effects of velocity and mass on wounding potential
Permanent and temporary cavities and their effects
The effects of fragmentation
Kinetic energy and wounding
Military versus civilian bullets
Wound infections
Forensic wound description
Firearms safety for emergency personnel
And More

But There is Even More!

The presentation was widely acclaimed by the audience as the best that they had heard on the topic. A year later Dr. Urgo was invited to give the same presentation to a large paramedic convention in Indiana. At that time, he added additional information on the prehospital treatment of gunshot wounds.

Now, almost ten years later, Dr. Urgo has consented to pull out the slides and research and make a video of this classic lecture. This information is still as important as the day it was first presented, and is even more valuable because he has added his experiences from the last ten years.

What Will You Learn?

Some of the many questions that are answered in this informative presentation include:

Do you know whether the weapon and ammunition you have will be effective in stopping an attacker?
What is stopping power? How do you know if your bullet have it?
Does a bullet do less damage if it passes through the target or stops inside?
How important is velocity in wounding potential?
How does the shock wave affect people?
Do bullets knock people down?
If you come across a victim do you know how to preserve the evidence that may convict the assailant?
Are military assault weapons more dangerous than civilian weapons?
Do bullets get sterilized by being fired?
Should antibiotics be given for gunshot wounds?
Should gunshot wounds be sutured?
Are rifle wounds more serious than handgun wounds?
Is it dangerous to leave the bullet in the patient?
Can you “shoot to wound?”
Are exit wounds always smaller than entry wounds?
Can you determine the caliber of the bullet from an x-ray?

And that is just a sample of the valuable information that is covered. There is way too much information in the video to list it all. When Dr. Urgo first did this presentation he had to ask the residency director for more time to fit it all in. And, since that original presentation he has added even more information.
