"2. The rifle he is using is a 7.62X39. Not usually associated with damage we see here. Chinese traditionally use only one bullet, and then charge the family for it. I have a really hard time believing that one shot did this kind of damage. Was the photo retouched?"
Are you sure it's not a 7.62x54? Looks like it might be to me.
Yes, if you read back through the posts, you'll find that we discussed the fact that it may be a dragonov knock off, which means its probably 7.62x54R.
