SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a specific episode of the show "Forensic Detective," where a survivor of a serial killer's attack is shot twice in the head at close range yet survives. The bullets appeared flattened, suggesting they struck a material denser than bone. Participants speculate on the reasons for this anomaly, considering factors such as the type of gunpowder used and the physical characteristics of the victim's skull rather than attributing it to an unusually thick skull.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ballistics and bullet penetration
  • Knowledge of forensic science principles
  • Familiarity with gunpowder types and their effects
  • Awareness of human anatomy, particularly cranial structure
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of different types of gunpowder on bullet performance
  • Study ballistics related to head injuries and survival rates
  • Examine case studies of similar forensic investigations
  • Learn about cranial anatomy and its implications in trauma cases
USEFUL FOR

Forensic scientists, criminal psychologists, law enforcement professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of forensic science and criminal investigations.

Have you ever watched this show? in one episode a serial killer has chosen one road and rapes and kills his victims along this route, but one victim survives to identify him, she survived being shot in the head twice at close range, the bullets looked flattened as if they had struck some thing very much harder than bone, i am not saying she had an iron skull, just how the heck two bullets failed to penetrate it.

Maybe she was just really thick-headed?
 
It may of had more to do with gun powder, then the bullets.
