Trust me, the damage done by a .22 Long is spectacularly worst than a .22 short. In the vernacular, the difference between a rife round and a pistol round.
My trauma docs loved us when we managed to find that out. It did determine some of the care and x-rays...all to do with pen value and cavitation potential. The .223 is among the worst...the AK round is actually worst than the .223
So yes, it does matter.
Here is how they were called in Mexico, due do the looks, Cuervo de Chivo, ram's horn.
Incidentally, they also wanted to know the details in a car crash, photos were even better. It's called mechanism of injury.
That is the real world reality check.
En route I wanted to know as well...things like how fast they travel, effective and potential ranges, were like essential to deploy my people.
