They just don't make bullets like they used to.

Pretty amazing...

Also equally odd.

Must have been shitty bullets and low powder.

Silver tipped hollow points FTMFW.

Gunther1000 · 09-22-2008, 03:08 PM

I would never volunteer to test my .45 to the back of the head I know that much.

Must have been a .22 ?

The first one yeah but the second one said it was a large caliber.

BobTheBiker · 09-22-2008, 03:22 PM

couldnt have been very good ammo for the 2nd story. large caliber should pretty much have an entry wound and an exit directly opposite, particularly much so for .44

z06boy · 09-22-2008, 03:27 PM

Man those stories are crazy and hard to believe. In that 2nd story I wish someone could have shot the stupid SOB while he was standing up through the sunroof of the car he was in...or the car would have slammed into something cutting that mofo in half.

People are a trip...the guy in the first story...I hope they find him and he gets life in prison or the death penalty...either one and the girl faces him in court and gets the last laugh.

Well actually I hope he resist arrest and gets mowed down.

I would wager the 2nd story the bullett had ricocheted into her head...No .44 I know is going to shatter against a skull. More likely on the wall after the skull. So it probably used up all it's energy on some other hard object in a wild against all odds bank shot.

#1 story makes me think small caliber .22 or 32 with perhaps just old ammunition. Low grain bullet that was perhaps old and misfired. That guy should have at least known the old mantra "2 in the back of the head".

Gunther1000 · 09-22-2008, 06:38 PM

I thought it was something like 2 behind the ear?

I'm with ya on the wild redirected shot. Maybe thru the glass window or off the door post?

Smittie61984 · 09-22-2008, 08:55 PM

Damn. Too bad she can't get a chance to try that theory out on his head.

Also looking at the Xray I don't believe it's a .22. I'd say most likely a 9mm or even a 380.

As for the 2nd. No way a 44magnum/special would shatter unless it was divine intervention. Here is a pic of me firing my 44magnum revolver and as you can see with all the fire it's got some power behind it. It'll plow through your head and the 5heads behind you before it even changes coarse.

OTB · 09-22-2008, 08:55 PM

On the first story, it might even have been a .380, though 22, 25 0r 32 would be a good bet, but could even have been a 38sp or a nine with bad ammo. I once bought a "good deal" on a case of whitebox noname crap for a nine I was pouring rounds through, and I was having such a hard time with consistancy with the stuff I chronographed rounds from a half-dozen boxes and got a 360fps spread!!!!!. Some of that crap was coming out the barrel at less than 700 fps....less than a good airgun, for God's sake.

I'm with smileyman on the second....most likely a ricochet, although autoglass has been known to do such things, too.
