Quick, you better inform the FBI, because they certainly believe it exists. In fact, they go so far as to recommend firearm loads to maximize its effect.
So does this research:

I'd love to see any real studies that back up your assertion that it's a myth, and not just hearsay.
I live in the Deep South, have a concealed carry license, and used to own around ten firearms. I also used to frequently hunt, but have lost interest and sold most of the guns I have. Before, when I was really caught up in the gun culture I sunk over $9 grand into a direct impingement AR. I just have one hunting rifle and one highly customized Glock now because I think the rest are just retarded for any civilian to own. In fact, I don't even trust the vast majority of law enforcement officers with the things... Americans are just way too caught up in Hollywood and some have a warped vision of reality which leads to all these bullshit shootings when a taser, de-escalation, or just straight up leaving the guy alone are all much better alternatives.
Here is some anecdotal evidence just for fun...
It's not even worth arguing over... you guys win.

Quote:Remote Cerebral Effects of Ballistic
Pressure Waves
A Swedish research group (Goransson et al.) were the first contemporary researchers to present compelling evidence for remote cerebral effects from bullet impact to an extremity.[27]
They observed significantly reduced electrical activity in the brain via EEG readings from pigs shot in the thigh. Investigating further, another research group (Suneson et al.) implanted highspeed pressure transducers into the brain of pigs and demonstrated that a significant pressure wave reaches the brain of pigs shot in the thigh. These scientists observed breathing disruption, depressed EEG readings, and neural damage in the brain caused by the distant effects of the ballistic pressure wave originating in the thigh.
Here is some anecdotal evidence just for fun...
Quote:My wife worked on quite a few gunshot wounds in medical school, and she states with no equivocation that there was usually damage beyond the tissue that was in the path of the bullet. You know, "from shockwaves."
It's not even worth arguing over... you guys win.
