Re: Brazilian Dies from Ricochet at Shooting Range
I know you are being sarcastic but anyone who has worked trauma for any length of time recognizes that spreading stain. If the bullet impacted above, there would be bloody froth and choking. If below, little if any frank bleeding. That spot is where the "cherry blossom" bullet wound is made. It is a signature. The diagnosis is made from experience with the specific wound over years of filling in at the trauma ward, not squinting at this fuzzy video. |

They should have just picked up their guns and walked away, whistling innocently.  |

Re: Brazilian Dies from Ricochet at Shooting Range
I am actually interested in the ballistics behind this. Don't you usually need a low angle of incidence for ricochets? Did this one literally do a 180 off a solid surface and maintained enough momentum to do that damage?

Re: Brazilian Dies from Ricochet at Shooting Range
I think the point being not a single bit of info from that story comes as a surprise...In a long, roundabout way...
