Interesting shooting

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

1. I think I've found a new avatar picture. Need to crop it to get the wound better.

2. With the lacerations extending horizontally, does that imply that the bullet hit at a grazing angle (the guy was not square to the shoter), or is that just how the skin will break under those dynamic conditions.

3. How ugly was his wife. And who would be dumb enough to cross a guy that looks like that.

4. I'm starting to rethink my 9mm pistol plans. All pistol cartridges suck compared to a rifle round (when they go off), but I think a .45 might, and a 10mm would have been more decisive.

5. Bean bags, hell they should have Jarted him. Jarts: An IQ Test with Consequences.

makes ya think

I have to say though I bet more people have one the lottery than hit in the head and lived !

but also if a big whack job like that came at me and all I had is a 9mm then I for sure would have put about 5 more in the middle of his face

while many have lived getting hit with a 9 many have been dropped with them heck look how many have gone down with a 22lr ?

nothing is %100

does make me think of carrying a 10mm though

like others I wonder what would have happened if it was a 45 or 40 or 10 or ?
hmmmmm maybe they should take him out and test it out

maybe its time to go back to my old school days and carry that .45 instead ?

he shot his whore of a cheating wife.. it's not like he's the virginia tech shooter.

So what? Does cheating deserve being shot?

bkb000,

Remind me not piss on your mailbox. I wouldn't want to get shot. Cheating or not doesn't mean she deserved to be murdered because that's what happened. She wasn't just shot. So now the kids get to grow up with their mom dead and their dad in prison quite possibly as wards of the state. Isn't that just great??

I wonder if he was shot with a 9mm frangible training round.

The guy looks like the precursor to Cro-Magnon Man, so consider the thickness of his skull vs. the 9mm round...

...vs. a sub-sonic 9mm round, most likely...

From the looks of the wound it looks like his head may have been turned and the shot may not have hit square...there may have been enough angle that the round just skimmed around the outside of his skull, thus the large-ish tear in his forehead.

I wonder if he was shot with a 9mm frangible training round.

A good question...the previous point about using sub-sonic ammo also intrigues me.

[g5m]

The only thing about subsonic is that I wouldn't expect it to come apart as the original post indicated.
It will be interesting to have followup on this.

[John_Wayne777]

Well, on the plus side...at leas this guy wasn't hollering at them to stop shooting him with that thing.

The round used was from Federal.

We've had one or two Federal PREMIUM .223 rounds (not practice stuff) do that over the years. I would never carry Commercial Federal ammo for defensive purposes.
