paulus 26 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 If an ak47 round had hit him the head properly then half his head would be missing here is an headshot of a deer using a smaller calibre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,966 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 If an ak47 round had hit him the head properly then half his head would be missing I'd hazzard a guess the shot was taken from a hell of a distance so the energy would be severly diminished to a non lethal level. Is it a standard lead core brass jacketed bullet? Would all AK bullet types fragment if shot through say a sand bag or similar? Just wondering if it's possible it passed through a reasonably dense medium first taking out the 'sting'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
