So what could have happened that this man is alive? Very poorly made bullet? Bad powder?
“So what could have happened that this man is alive? Very poorly made bullet? Bad powder?”
A combination of a really good helmet (the US helmets are among the best in the world!) and a assault rifle round (probably a 7.62 X 39) that is only a moderately powered rifle round.
Excellent technology in the new kevlar helmets.
It doesn’t show in the picture but the round went through his NVG elbow and mount befor the helmet stoped it otherwise he would have definitely been taken out. And it was a foreign Sniper that had his post pinned down for two days.
