Apologies if this has already been posted.
Described as being shot from an M-16, bullet entered inner thigh, exited through the outer. Bullet is said not to have hit the bone, the shattering is from the shock. Story is :Filipino cop shot man from across the street, M-16a1, victim says cop was drunk, cop says it was accidental. This is not to be taken as a claim that 5.56 is better than X, because there are no comparison shots.

He is obviously wounded and requires additional effort to remove him from the battlefield. Objective of 5.56 achieved.

So what round do you think was used to cause a wound cavity that large so soon after hitting?

Objective of 5.56 achieved. the reason they are claimed to be ineffective is because they lack stopping power, expecially if the target is inebriated w/ a sort of drug (somolia for example) wow, if i had to be shot like that, i would pray to God it would be stateside and not in panama |

Quoted:
That hit the bone. "Shock" will not do that to a bone. I'm pretty sure that he was shot with the 5.56 to little effect since it is an underpowered caliber, and then someone nearby racked a shotgun which caused his leg to blowup. |

Good thing it wasn't a 9mm round....would've taken off everything below the waist.

Any idea what type of round? M193. Here's the story from the doctor present. "Estimated range was between 5-10 meters. 20"-barreled M16A1 used. At that range, estimated velocity when bullet hit was @ 3200 feet per second. Entrance wound is on the inner thigh, exit is the huge stellate laceration seen on the outer thigh. Based on the xray view of the femur bone, bone was NOT hit, but broke most probably due to the temporary stretch cavity created by the considerable hydraulic shock wave the M193 cartridge is known to create. Pics # 5 and 6 show the typical fragmentation that occurs when the M193 bullet impacts human flesh at velocities in excess of 2700 fps. Since my estimate here is that the velocity was @ 3200 fps, the size of the wound is not a surprise." Quoted:
He is obviously wounded and requires additional effort to remove him from the battlefield. Objective of 5.56 achieved. Again, from the doctor. "We were able to save the leg. Was touch and go for a while, though. Infection or the threat of it is now the patient's biggest enemy. And even if he recovers, he will be limping for the rest of his life, as over half of his thigh muscles died and we had to excise 'em." Were this hit on the torso instead of the thigh, no reachee hospital. Go to morgue na lang." |

Any idea what type of round? The article said m16a1 so it likely has a 1-12 or 1-14 twist. That would limit it to 55gr and below. Ive seen some 40 grain varmit stuff that was impressive in gelatin like that. But I really doubt the philipino police issue that. It was probably hot 55 grain m193 that hit the bone and fragmented. |

You all know it is because the bullet tumbles through the air.

It's a dupe, but who cares? I bet it came out his ear. It is a dupe, but last time the OP did not cover up the guys junk so the mod's deleted it. And thank you OP, I have been trying to find this story for a while now. Taggy. |

these have been posted before a couple of times. At least this time the pictures with the guys dick weren't posted

The info is wrong, it is obvious that this person was not shot by a 5.56 round of any kind, it is a fact that the 5.56 round isn't effective, and cannot be trusted to cause serious damage to small poodles with COM hits. This damage was obviously accomplished using the death ray that is the mighty 45ACP, there is no other round on the planet that is capable of that kind of damage.

Any idea what type of round? 87 grain special forces round. |

Yeah these pics were posted before. I think it devolved into a debate whether the strips of skin looked more like bacon, or whether the thigh looked more like a country ham.

This is the best one those kind of images I've seen in a while. |
|
This is why my #1 rifle is a 1-12" A1 carbine, and my standard load is M193.
|
|
That's obviously a wound caused by a .50 BMG passing close by.

Somebody should shoot him in the other leg with 7.62x39 to do a comparison.
Leg o truth. |
