I’m a moron when it comes to ballistics so can someone explain (without big words - I’m a dumb dumb) how the Glock wielding dude nearly had his arm taken off by what I presume was a 5.56 AR-15 while the guy that got shot in the head had a small entry wound?
Did the guy who got shot in the head get grazed? Also my stupid understanding of 5.55 was that since it is so high velocity it usually gots straight through and doesn’t tumble like 7.62x39
Username checks out
no, he was a few feet away. the angle kind of hides it but there's a picture that shows a 6-7 foot gap between the muzzle and arm

Damn, that was a pretty sweet supine leg takedown he did. Are we sure he didn’t train with Ip Man or some shit?
That angle makes it look like it was right up on the muzzle. Gonna need to see that picture to be convinced otherwise. I’m on the boat it was the muzzle blast that fucked his arm up good.
Here is a photo of before and after being shot. You can tell in the lower half he is shot because the dark spot has appeared where it wasn't before, and that is his exposed muscle.
It's just what happens when you're shot by an AR15.
The second picture he’s right up on the kid though. I’m not going to say you’re wrong but I’m still leaning towards muzzle blast too.
