That's a logical and reasonable answer to how we got it. I know these things some time happen. The person or persons doing the smuggling would be shot as well.

The other part of my question, the amount of damage,still puzzles me.

I know that one 7.62x39 cannot do the damage we see. I am very skeptical about this.

My 7.62x39 doesn't cause that amount of damage. So, is that rifle in use just to place the victims at the wall and another firearm for the execution?

Perhaps they used these. They are very high powered sniper rounds.

It looks like a para dragunov, if so it would be
7.62x54r which is comparable to our .308 or to 8mm mauser.
Even a 7.62x39 if a hollow point would do that kind of
explosive damage from that range.

Kinda reminds one of the Katyn Forest, but there of course
it was mostly Tokarev pistols.

Interesting, that most of the spectators were in uniform, no?

Although i havent been witness to such personally, I would imagine a 7.62/.30 military round would do this damage at point blank range.

JB or squantos, any insights ???
