See my comment elsewhere in this thread; Martin Fackler and his followers believe temporary cavitation trauma is "at best a secondary mechanism, if not irrelevant."
Although I have a personal theory about why FMJ battle rifle (e.g. 7.62 NATO/.308) torso wounds tend to be fatal, at least in the field: there larger temporary trauma diameter stands a good chance of shocking the spine and disabling long enough for person to bleed out unless someone else quickly comes to their aid.
