Difference between calibers? - Page 2

I have HEARD and READ that some ER workers, and at least one coroner have stated that they cannot determine any difference in the tissue damage between various cartridges, for instance a 9mm or .45.

I think that the ammunition has more to do with tissue damage than caliber. However, it would seem that the one that starts out with the largest bullet would punch the biggest hole. But those who work with such actual wounds say otherwise from what I have read and heard.
