That left a mark  :o

I didn't think the exit wound of a 223 would be that traumatic.

Hey Knight, haven't seen you around much. Everything OK?

As for the exit wound, the posts were interesting (not only because of the blend of English and Phillipino) - the bullet did not hit the bone, but was light and tumbled rather significantly - as the lighter SS109 bullets do. If it were the steel core the exit may not have been so messy, but then I have no clue, no experience, so I am  guessing!   ;D

With the appropriate round it did what it is designed to do, come apart at high velocity causing massive wound channel.

This looks alot like what happened to my friend. Except his was in the Calf the doctor actually made the entry and exits wounds larger to allow for drainage. It was pretty wicked.

This though is crazy cause it is so close to the femoral artery. The fastest way to bleed out is to sever that. When I went through Combat Lifesaver course that was one of the things I took away from it. You can bleed out in 15sec if that it is severed. Alot of motocross riders have died on the track cause of internal bleeding caused by severing the Femoral Artery after breaking their femur.

A number of deer hunters have stabbed themselves in the groin while skinning deer and severed that artery. They fell down and died without taking a step. Just one more thing to watch out for. There are more ways to die than you can count.
