Did he hit the vest?

Watson fired one round, wounding Lynch in the abdomen.
Alcohol likely involved, which might have added to poor aim.
Words to live by. Never point a firearm at anything you do not wist to destroy. I learned this at 5 years old.
p.s. Just desserts, so to speak, for wasting God's greatest fruit!
Exactly what I was thinking. At over 2500 feet per second this round can penetrate most bullet resistant vests. Perhaps a .40 or .45 from a pistol would’ve been a different story.
......so, these guys most likely were drunk. Sounds like the guy who shot missed the bulletproof vest.
Have you ever seen a kevlar (bullet proof vest) on high speed? Even though it can stop actual penetration of a bullet, without the ceramic armor plating, you are still going to have a VERY BAD DAY if you are shot.
Why anyone would ever tell someone shoot me bro, who didn’t intend to die, is beyond me.
There are no proper words to adequately describe the ignorance involved in this shooting incident.
Sounds like he got enough time to contemplate what a fool he is...or was. RIO, fella.
Lol
A better option is to simply NOT have people shooting 223’s at you...but I guess that requires some degree of mental development.
My secretary grew up in that area. When I told her about this she just kind of nodded and said, “Yeah, that kind of thing happens around there”.

(photo above is from testing his "meat target" against pistols. IMHO, the guy is good but a little 'loquacious' so you may want to ride the speed button watching his videos).

One more point in testing your bullet-proof vest...make sure the idiot firing the weapon can AIM, and HIT THE INTENDED SPOT!!
I highly suspect alcohol was involved. Darwin award candidates all around
Maybe he saw the coat being demonstrated in Goldfinger.
Missed it by that much!
