You are not very familiar with guns, are you!

There is no such thing as indeterminate when it comes to gunshots in close proximity.

You were missing the point. The article said, "intermediate," which, by definition, is not "close proximity." I thought it more likely the original word was "indeterminate," meaning they weren't able to determine exactly how far away from the gun Trayvon was when he got nailed. That makes more sense in the context of trying to figure out what happened than the even less certain "intermediate range," unless, of course, "intermediate range" has a fixed meaning, say, "far enough away not to get powder burns but close enough for that particular caliber and round to effect the observed degree of damage."

Please see my post #51. Apparently “intermediate range” has a different meaning in the forensics world than the casual definition someone might use during a trip to the pistol range.

It was you that wanted to miss the point.

They were, as usual, well able to establish that the muzzle was in the one to three foot range when fired. (they had the gun and the cartridges, thus knew how much powder pushed how much lead, making the calculation fairly simple)
