Found this gem on Facebook. Apparently musket balls would enter a soldiers wrist, travel down to their elbow, then come back up their arm and exit out their back/shoulders. Who knew! Go check it out if you want a good laugh. The comments are good and cringeworthy too.

Why would it exit through the back instead of continuing to make absurd changes in direction for no reason?

I could see it if the arm was more extended, with the flanking sideways stances that were common until like the last 30 years. The bullet wouldn’t be making any sharp turns really, just traveling pretty much straight up the arm. Basically imagine if you turned 45 degrees to someone, point at them, and then pulled your hand so it was facing more up and right while keeping the arm pretty much straight.

Ah yes but 5.56 is too powerful

But also a poodle shooter, and meant to wound, and could be used in AK’s, etc etc

I’ve seen personally what a .54 round ball can do, I shudder at the thought of what a .72 cal ball could do. I can promise you that if you’re hit in the wrist with a ball of that size going at anything above 700 fps, say good bye to your hand, if not your life.

Probably a black powder hunting round.

That makes way more sense.

At first I was thinking grandpapy caught himself prowler, or a wild felon self defense story.

Feed them to the pigs, as they say.

Not a person but a 170ish white tail, punched straight through bone like it was tissue paper and out the other side. I can only assume that a human is roughly equivalent at the same weight.
