POTD: Bullet Head

Post by lakelandman »

That looks like a serious headache. I found this photo on Facebook it was reported that Rodrigo Moreira was a victim of a motorcycle robbery and the robbers shot him in the head after taking his motorcycle at gunpoint. There is little information as to the circumstances of the robbery. Was the Rodrigo wearing a helmet? How far away were the shooters? When did they shoot him? Was it point blank or did they shoot him as they fled?

From the photo, it appears to be a .45acp bullet lodged into the Rodrigo Moreira’s skull. If he was not wearing a helmet then the only explanation as to his survival would be the cartridge was severely underpowered. I vaguely recall a story about criminals policing up brass after a shooting, whether it was by the police or criminals, and they use the brass to reload ammo. If this were true then it is conceivable that Rodrigo may have been one lucky guy to have been shot by a shoddy reload.

Some of the comments are epic... :lol:

" He had his HeadshotDamageMultiplier set to 0.1. "

“Who you callin’ a dummy?” demanded Moreira as he rubbed his non self-healing head.

If he's a small fellow, that could be a .380?

Eh... all you have to do is take a knee and drink some water

It would seem to be easy enough to avoid a car or bike hijacking by merely hitting the gas and roaring away in a zigzag pattern.
Not many people can shoot and hit moving targets, especially fast moving ones.
At least that's been my experience from all the shooting matches I've attended.
Lots of people probably freeze when they see a gun, though.
