“5. Is there a reasonable likelihood that a FMJ .223 at 10 feet would remain in the skull?”

I have shot many things with a 223/5.56mm. I would be stuned to hear that an FMJ stayed in a human skull when hit from 10 feet. Not impossible but way out on the odds. Also, I would be skeptical about the bullet being a real FMJ if fragmented.

Yep. That’s what I’m thinking.

I think the only way it could fragment would be if it HAD caromed off of a concrete floor and seriously compromised its integrity.

Thanks.
