Re: Skull Gunshot Wound
the bullet cannot tumble from that close up, it was a point blank shot, not enough distance to tumble, point blank is within three feet. that shot with the stipling from the gunpowder was almost a contact wound.  |

Re: Skull Gunshot Wound
Perhaps shot at an upward angle then. The powder burns are below the actual bullet hole and kind of spread out from the bottom to the top. If the bullet entered at an angle it might be possible to leave an asymmetrical wound? HaHa! Armchair forensics. |

Re: Skull Gunshot Wound
To explain more about a tumbling slug, for instance the Nato round 5.56mm or more commonly known as the .223 is designed to be a tumbling slug.It allows a smaller diameter slug to possibly strikes its target using the broadside of the slug thus causing much more damage.. Great post btw Rancid!  |

Re: Skull Gunshot Wound
I'm an actual forensics major, and what I can tell you is that bullet ballistics is a complex science. There are so many variables in angle, distance, caliber, the strength of the bone/flesh at the point of impact, etc. that it is impossible to predict exactly what a bullet wound will look like. But there are some general characteristics that let you draw some basic conclusions. As indicated in the pictures, the presence of stippling (powder burns) around the wound indicates that the shot was very close, probably less than 1 foot. If you find bruising around the wound, or physical indentation, that is often a sign that the gun was pressed against the skin and then fired. |
