I agree....
I am not a hunter, I have never shot any animal...well...a snake once....anyway...but I have seen a ton of ballistic dummies shot on YouTube....I would be kind of shocked if a .25 or 22. went clean through someone.
This is a heavily muscled human by normal standards...so I dunno...
Have we heard much about the injury? How he was shot?
I don't think this is a case of entering the front, and exiting the back...sure maybe...but that seems unlikely....
I would think it is more likely it entered the front at an angle and exited the side, or even exited the front again...
Could have entered his pectoral, hit a rib and bounced out the other side of his pectoral, or even exited out around his lat....
Watching the video, the way he is holding his arm and taking baby steps...would lead me to think he has a bruised rib and even breathing is hurting him. My totally uneducated guess, knowing very few facts...I think he was shot at an angle, entered his chest, and bounced out his side around his lat...having never entered his core.
The video shows tons of blood on his chest...no way for a shot to go through someone in that area front to back and mis a lung.
yeah...I am thinking .22 , or even .25 acp..
I shot off some 15-20 year old .25 acp years ago...I had one DENT a coke can...the ammo had gone that bad... I had several shots stop inside a coke can that did not have enough energy to exit.
At point bank range, you would think even a 380 or 9mm would have caused serious damage.
