“...I’m still confused about how you could shoot someone in the neck and have the bullet enter your leg at the point where it would cause you to die from the wound...Did the bullet ricochet off a bone...?” [CFW, post 14]

Bullets are designed to be stable in the air. If they enter material of a different density - flesh, for example - they can go unstable, tumble, and change direction. They often tumble or swerve more than once. Gyroscopic stability can be overcome.

Hard material isn’t required.

Results in this case may be unusual, but not impossible. If the bullet did strike bone, the path it took then would have become even less predictable.

The head-in-lap theory does seem plausible. And the shooter might have twitched, disturbing the gun’s positioning and swinging it away from the initial aimpoint. Gun play and sex play ought not be combined.

“Gun play and sex play ought not be combined.”

Are water pistols okay?
