I started a custom no-stress (based on pilgrim) game and started in DP. I did find a pistol and decided to try it on a wolf that I encountered on the trail to the lighthouse. He was already running around all over the hills and rocks there (not a single sprain. Wolves do not even have ankle support shoes on. 🙂 ) I know I hit him 3 times probably 4. That slowed him down and I finished him with the bow I found at Katy's Corner. Those shells look like .38's or at least .30's. I don't think a wolf would still be walking around after 4 hits at close range, <20 feet. Unless that's intended to be a .10 caliber or something I really think it's way under modeled. Maybe I only winged him 3 times? 🙂

When I was 17 I went on an Outward Bound excursion. Most of the people on that excursion were city folk with little to no hiking experience, I was the youngest. Granted we all had hiking boots, this was a 21 day trip so we were outfitted for it. We hiked through SE Utah, Canyonlands and Monti La Sal forest. There was only one incident when a lady stepped into a probable gopher hole and tumbled down a steep, thankfully grassy, hillside landing head first on every bounce. As she was wearing her solid frame pack rather high it took all the impacts and she had only a sprained ankle from the initial miss-step. Obviously things would be a tad different with snow & ice involved. Based on my plays on the newer system, PC so 1.49, I think the sprain system is a tad overdone still. Especially the sounds of it. I've had sprains, some severe and never any sounds on bones breaking (I keep expecting to see compound fractures after that sound) or loud screams of pain (maybe I'm just that quiet). I almost crap myself every time my toon gets a sprain.
