> “Perez also told authorities Ruiz showed her a different book he had shot, and the bullet did not go all the way through.” [article] <

Not that I’d want to take the risk even if I felt I’d matched the conditions of the test shot almost perfectly, but what do you suppose went wrong?

Could it be that the paper in the second book was less dense? Also does the penetrating power of one shot versus another vary significantly (maybe because of the gunpowder or the way the bullet goes down the barrel)?

My guess is that it was the density of the paper, but anyone have any other ideas?

My thought was first book sat on something and shot so it could get blown back taking up part of the energy .

where he had it against chest bullet went deeper
