    Then it wasn’t a graze wound. What if the bullet is 0.1mm further out than would be needed for a “graze”?

    You’re playing with words. We have video of what happened.

    Maybe you’d prefer it was a Sasquatch with a directed energy weapon.

      Not playing with words. The 5.56mm bullet had around 1.8kJ of energy, mostly from velocity. Dumping even a fraction of that into human tissue can cause rather devastating effects, with additional effects from the pressure wave from traveling at supersonic speeds. It’s not like in the movies or video games where just getting “winged” is not a big deal.

        So even if it’s 4mm away? 5mm? 6mm? 7mm? 8? 9?

        You argue as if you can be equally injured in a car crash by being a bystander because of the energy of a speeding car. Like, no?

        You just like reading what you type, not making sense.
