And worse, that appears to be the metric readout; 12.47mm isn't much expansion from .45ACP (11.46mm) at all, especially considering it entered and exited twice.KBCraig wrote:Now, that's a reloading nut right there: the day after he shot himself in the leg, he takes calipers to the exit wound!
Then, of course, there's that fact that he took two .45ACP wounds to the same leg and walked away from it...literally, judging from the footprints. Sure, it has him crippled up for a long time now, but if he'd been a determined attacker, that shot wouldn't have helped his victim much.
It is interesting, though, that there have been at least three firsthand accounts of serious ND self-woundings on the net in the last year or so, and all were with .45ACPs; not the same style gun, but the same caliber. I guess the guys that shoot themselves with 9mm or 40S&W just put a bandaid on it and keep quiet.
