Re: Surgeon Removes a Bullet from Wounded Soldier's Heart
Not always as it maybe went through a dirt wall, reducing speed before going through clothes and soft body tissue. As long it doesn't hit a bone or anything else of solid mass inbetween the gun and target.

Re: Surgeon Removes a Bullet from Wounded Soldier's Heart
That is absolutely not a 50 caliber bullet. It looks like a typical 7.62x54 copper jacketed round. Which makes sense since Russians use the 54r for numerous small arms. You just aren’t used to seeing the full length of the projectile outside of the brass case. |

Re: Surgeon Removes a Bullet from Wounded Soldier's Heart
Really simple. A .50BMG is a bit larger than 0.50” and VERY long, and a 7.62x54r is about 0.30” in diameter and kind of long. A bit more than an inch. About what you see in the video. This is a steel core jacketed 7.62x54r bullet probably from a PKP machine gun or possibly an SVD rifle. They’re big, long bullets, and a good part of it is buried into the neck of the cartridge. |
