(2,716 posts)18. leg wound from m16
Warning - Graphic pictures depicting severe upper leg injury from m16, same as what an AR15 could do:
seriously, do not click on the link if severe wound pictures make you squeamish. Hope I'm not violating any rule here krispos, & pls note the ample warnings, but delete if you feel it's inappropriate, by all means.
Why you do not want to get shot with an M16...(Warning: Disturbing ...
This is why animals might not die straightaway, or why victims become incapacitated rather than deaded.

(excerpt not from the picture site, but from facklers article): The thigh entrance wound will be small and punctuate. The first part of the tissue path will show minimal disruption. The exit will vary from the small punctuate hole described for the Soviet AK-47 to the stellate exit described for the Yugoslav AK-47, depending on how thick the thigh is where the bullet perforates it. In a sufficiently thick thigh, the M193 bullet fragmentation is also likely to cause a significant loss of tissue and possibly one or more small exit wounds near the large stellate one.
Makes me sick to stomach looking at this & reading wound ballistics, often did, why I gave up guns, want nothing to do.
