Why you do not want to get shot with an M16...(Warning: Disturbing photograph)
wow, Military M193 stuff is no joke. 5.56 IS a powerful round.
Comments on what happened:
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.
Were this hit on the torso instead of the thigh, no reachee hospital. Go to morgue na lang. ---Doc Prairiefire (Timawa.net/forum)
