M193 in the leg.

[cebuboy]

Pictures of a leg hit by M193 from an M16A1, about an across the road distance...

Bullet went in right inner thigh...













Bullet did not hit bone, fracture caused by shock wave of the passing bullet.

[El Mac]

I reckon that will leave a mark.

[PlatoCATM]

what's the backstory?

[Mr.Goodtimes]

yea id like to know what the story on this is? that looks like a lot of damage, especially from a round that has been proven to be an ineffective round. i recon this dude in the pic might tell you other wise.

[cebuboy]

According to victim, drunk cop shot him after altercation.
According to cop, it was an accident.

[Iraq Ninja]

Was this in the Philippines and this was after the doc did the exploratory cuts into the wound?

[woodandsteel]

Is there a link to a news story about this incident?

[Wayne Dobbs]

Looks like a classic M193 yaw and fragmentation wound. It's only ineffective if it remains point forward during the penetration and doesn't hit anything important. The big slam on the M193 was the lack of consistancy in when and where it would yaw and fragment. Looks like this one worked pretty well.

did this guy get to keep his leg? that looks like a horrible wound.

also, is this what my hornady 75gr TAP will do on a regular basis?

[cebuboy]

Yes it happened here in Cebu, Philippines, IIRC the pictures were taken after cleaning the wound, will ask if this was before or after the exploratory cuts.

Sorry no link for the news article.
