Work on the atomic bomb does not necessarily establish expertise in wound ballistics. I have extensive knowledge about Critical Nuclear Weapons Design and Deployment Information (CNWDDI) I was cleared for that level of security when I was in the USAF.

Alvarez was selected to be involved in the original design of the atomic bomb at Los Alamos because he was a REALLY SMART GUY (and he happened to work for Ernest O. Lawrence). He didn't claim to be an expert on wounds or the fluid dynamics of jetting brain matter, just on physics. BTW you might be interested to know that he originated the idea of using exploding wire arrays to trigger atomic explosions. I posted a link to his report in #110.

I consider myself a REALLY SMART GUY, too. I'm a physician but I haven't won any Nobel Prizes, yet.

I just can't accept a single gunner theory.
