I’m assuming the rounds just zipped. How close to you was she? She probably weighed 90lbs and was thin as a rail. The FMJ had no opportunity to destabilize, etc and just passed through. That’s got to be what happened... when 7.62 tumbles, it’s super gnarly and zero chance she would’ve survived 3 to the chest.
“... I’m assuming the rounds just zipped. How close to you was she? ...”
Distance 50-60 yards. I was in a boat and she was behind some bushes on the river bank.
All 3 rounds went in the front (center of mass) and out the back. Somehow they missed all organs, major blood vessels and bones. One battle dressing on her back and one on her chest.
Evidently some people are just hard to kill.
But she was cute (as a VC enemy soldier goes) and I’m glad she didn’t die.
