N2  - Systemic affects by multiple hits of corpuscular material are not seen until a level of ergy about 600-800 J is reached. A major determinant is the sum of energy. A potentiating effect could not be observed. Enduring casualties are expected by vital hits only, but heavy pains are able to induce serious handicap.
