Bullets do weird things when they go into flesh and bone. Thanks for the insight, Fox!
Not this, this is completely fucking impossible.
A pistol round could do what is being described here, that is believable.
Not a 30.06, that is completely impossible.
Oh, christ, is this the shit the conspiracy theories latch onto?
Yes, bullets do weird things.
Not like that they don’t
30-06 round like that, at double or triple that distance, will knock a full grown deer off its feet from the energy and put a hole the size of a fist in it. If it's a hollow point round, double that exit wound size.
Usually you'd use a round of that caliber to hunt moose or bears. Many deer hunters think it's overkill.
Bullets interacting with human tissue DO have a tendency to get weird, but the forces involved here simply do not add up as presented.
So you're saying it was a miracle?
No miracle, also not .30-06
Maybe the bullet transformed miraculously?
Right, perhaps it was actually an unleavened wafer.
Got it, you have no familiarity with firearms nor the physics involved, understood.
