Re: Mexico - Woman Executed with Headshot from AK47
The muzzle flash is consistent with 7.62 round. Admittedly most are smaller with bulk ammo but this is not inconsistent with a hot load. Powder charges in ammo vary greatly in weight and type or brand of gunpowder or loaded cartridge. Temperature and humidity can also affect the amount of visible muzzle flash just as the quality of camera being used to record it. Bulk surplus mil ammo and something like Hornady hunting ammo cannot even be compared as they are apples and oranges. I reload ammo and know how varied muzzle flash can be, and how seeing flash in person, versus seeing it on camera is different. Our eyes do not see in "still" images and cannot even focus fast enough to give us a clear picture of the flash. The camera captures still images. It just so happened to catch a still image at a time when flash was greater than we can see with the naked eye, and in a time frame not guaranteed to be caught in all instances, even with the same camera.

Re: Mexico - Woman Executed with Headshot from AK47
1. At that distance, point blank range the bullet should of have obliterated her head. 2. falling forward does not concur with the direction of the rifle. 3. if they were handling live ammo why then the guy behind the captive was pointing it at the camera man and 4. the camera is cut way to early to see blood and any afterwards action.

Re: Mexico - Woman Executed with Headshot from AK47
Looked real to me. At very close range, the AK round has so much energy and is moving so fast that it punches through the skull and brain almost as if nothing is there and does not dump much of it's energy. You are not bound to see that much sideways movement in this case. Also, the biomechanics of the human body and her posture at death predispose a forward fall of the body. Not surprising. |
