Sonofa* That's going to leave a mark.

Maybe a warning is in order of the graphic nature of the link. I wasn't bothered by it at all but it did surprise me.

 

That's an ugly boo-boo..........

 

A band-aid and some TLC will patch that right up.

 

What's up with all the gibberish?

 

Wait, just noticed that this board is a phillippean board, disregard prev question

 

Lucky the Femoral artery was missed. Im actually surprised the shock wave didn't take it out either.

 

Rub some dirt on it and walk it off.

It's just a glorified .22.

 

That's a tremedous amount of energy. I saw what it can do first hand to a cop's foot, too, when said cop didn't take his finger off the triger getting into a van.

 

That'll buff right out!!

Seriously, that is UGLY.... when a high velocity round hits bone, that's what you get.....:scared:

 

That's an ugly boo-boo..........

hehehehe

 

Put some butter on it....
It'll be fine....

 

Ouch.

 

Everything's better with BACON.....except...maybe that...ouch.

 

Cool.

 

Thanks for posting that link. I just got done showing the pics to all of my kids reminding them "this is why we RESPECT firearms, and get the heck away from anyone who does not".

 

Sooma ma peach!

Ouch!

 

"He's going to have a limp..."

 

and I thought a 5.56 was for shooting "small stuff"....just kidding that looks PAINFUL!

 

I show that link to people that say the 5.56 is weak.

 

If that was a COM... I couldn't imagine the damage.

 

Ah come on guys.....it's only a .22...

 

5.56 can go either way just like any other caliber. I saw a "Combat" Engineer fall off a Hesco barrier, somehow switch his weapon to burst mid-fall and put 2 out of the 3 rounds into his thigh and calf, It looked about like this. I saw a few cases up close center mass shots and they we're more or less simliar what you would expect, sometimes no exit wound, sometimes a grapefruit. It's funny how bullets react in tissue depending on angle, clothing, and apparently lucky farts.

On the flip side I also saw a guy get hit inside a bongo truck by 3 rounds of 5.56 (after the windshield had been shot out) to the mid and upper torso from about 100-50 meters away (driving towards us) and he got out of his own free will and took a few steps before falling over a few feet away, then live at least the 1-2 hours it took us to turn him over to the Army. He looked like he had been shot with a .22, very small entry wound, no exit wound whatsoever.

IMO there is no caliber that will do ____ every time. You hear stories of people surviving .44 mags to the head and on the same token people getting shot in the stomach with a .22 and having the projectile come out of their armpit, tearing everything the whole way.

 

M855 is known for poking .22 sized holes at over 80 yards or so, M193 works out to 150 or so from 16". I don't want to get shot with ANYTHING, but M193 up close is a bad boy.

 

Honey badger would just shake it off and go right back to eating......

 

Two words..... Duct Tape.


Wow that looked bad.
