Right.

Once the adrenaline wears off, then it all seems to hit at once and the guy crashes.
Not too many RPGs work that way, do they?

None that I know of, really, but as I said, the information was commonly available (on the Web) for a relatively brief period after the studies were done, and as far as I know largely vanished off the radar after that. I suspect if you aren't in certain corners of the firearms effectiveness field, or in trauma medicine, its almost unknown. And as I said, its counterintuitive, and an awful lot of game rules are written by intuition rather than research anyway.
