Thanks for your service. Yes, most of this endless ammunition wars argument, while helping to create some basic information, is practically useless once life adds in the millions of variables. something as simple as altering the angle of impact by a few degrees, the point of impact by a half-inch, or even changing the ammunition used and hence depth of penetration or wound channel trauma can mean the difference between walking away and being carried in a bag.

Regarding the BB gun, a punk with a BB gun shot a boy local to this area as he rode past on his bike. the BB hit the kids jugular, and was flushed into his heart. Of course, they just left the thing there and bandaged the hole in his neck, and at this point, it's safe to assume that the BB has dissolved. Copper, brass, or even zinc plated iron shot should have corroded away after 15 years.
