A while ago, I saw a Kojak (new) episode, where there was this serial sniper who was using a .308 . According to the show, he used a silencer so that the supersonic crack would come from "90 degrees in the wrong direction". They also said he was handloading the bullets with less powder, not to make his silencer actually work, but so the lower velocity bullet would "bounce around" in the guy's skull "turning his brains to soup".
I thought that this was just localized stupidity till I picked up the TV Guide this week. Flipping through, trying desperately to find that actual TV listings (and noticing the chick with the Beretta on page 18), I spotted a photo of a .22 LR bullet, up close. The caption read ".22 Caliber. The hit man's ammo of choice, according to CSI medical examiner... The bullet's low weight allows slugs to ricochet around in the skull, thereby inflicting maximum tissue damage."
Am I wrong, or is this all asinine? A headshot is a headshot, right?
