One friend is missing the tip of an index finger...he will not acknowledge it.

I can only speculate.

A little unusual I guess, but bullets go where they go.

As I mentioned in a story I posted last May, I shot a VC in his right hand - took the edge off his hand and his little finger. I felt bad for him because that was really painful for him - but he's lucky: I was aiming for his head.
