“Smaller entry/exit wounds would make it clear that it 223 was used. “
I threw a dead NVA soldier out of the trench I’d just taken cover in. He had a small purple dot on his forehead, just above his right eye. It looked like you had dipped a pencil eraser in purple ink and stamped his forehead.
The back of his skull was completely gone.
We were all toting M-16s and/or .45’s. This was definitely NOT a .45 wound.
5.56/.223 can mess someone up really bad.
Thank-you for your service....
