Huh...wouldn't a half blown off ear look much worse after a week?

Something still seems a fakie to me.

At the muzzle a rifle bullet is between 200 and 400 degrees. I read someone calculated the bullet would have been in contact for .4 milliseconds, not long enough to transfer a significant amount of heat

(34,296 posts)would do to a human ear or head?
I have heard if it hit his ear at all it would have ripped it off and more.

(22,837 posts)And how much energy transfers.
At 150 yards the bullet has 750-1000 ft lbs of energy. A solid head hit will be a messy fatal wound as the majority of the energy is transferred to the head.
A shallow graze on soft flexible tissue will not transfer much at all, so will produce a minor, even insignificant, wound
Even a piercing wound to the ear would not rip it off. The tissue is too thin and flexible for the required force to be transferred.

(42,037 posts)I was suspicious when he was released right away and then when Eric said he didn't need stitches. I think there is a reason we have not seen the hospital report.
His claim that a bullet made a hole in his ear is looking like another Trump con.
