I shot myself! NEGLIGENT DISCHARGE

[Inodoro Pereyra]

My point is that, given the entry angle of the bullet, even if the bullet hasn't jawed or expended, the entry wound should be oval, and pretty elongated. I'm by no means an expert, when it comes to gunshot wounds, but this is a geometry problem. I don't see how a bullet can penetrate the skin at an angle of maybe 10-20 degrees, and leave a round scar.

Bullets are round. They make round holes. Simple as that. I've seen a few hundred gun show wounds in person. The entrance wound profile is legit.

No, they don't.

Here's a picture of a gunshot wound. Now, unless somebody developed a new elliptical bullet, that wound was made by a round one, at a sharp angle, which is exactly the scenario in the video. Yet, as you can see, both the entry and exit wounds are elongated, not round.

Oops! Sorry for the huge picture.

How do I fix it?

Hey boobo, he was practicing a common training method. If you studied this kind of thing, you would know that most gun fights happen within 10 feet, often in arms reach. HIs mistake was getting his finger on the trigger before he got on target. And I refuse to name call someone who does not know the difference between "too" and "to". You said it for me.

I probably drink too much Koolaid with my beer but it looked pretty real to me. Way too much work to be a hoax IMHO but I'm just lazy.
Seems like an honest mistake and something to remember on the shooting range.
Never put your finger on the trigger until your ready to shoot.
Be safe!

A .45 caliber round makes a pretty big hole,
just imagine how this conversation went:

"Check out my new .45!!
It has a really great trigger pull"........nice squeeze.
Bang!!!!.............
Oh ............
Honey.........
I need another Budweiser
@**)(*&)(^%$$ that hurts.......”





NOW
Off to the Wal-Mart for some new shoes and a book on how to handle handguns...

When I read this forum this morning I was careful to scroll down far enough to avoid exposing my nosy 8 yr old to the picture of the toes destroyed by gunfire. He was however able to read aloud Adams avatar to my wife, "I shaved my balls for this" and he thought it was very funny. The wife didn't think it was so funny. First you have to adapt to them grabbing anything close to the floor by moving valuables closer and closer to the ceiling. Eventually, you have to worry about what words they may be able to read. So far he hasn't asked me what events it is appropriate to shave your balls for.
