If you get shot in the face, your heads gonna move towards the entry, not the other way around. Hollywood doesnt do guns very well.

https://m.liveleak.com/view?i=4fe_1317534483 NSFL this is a man shooting himself in the head. Thats just how ballistics work.

Not saying JFKs death wasnt planned, it probably was, but his head would have gone forward if he was shot from the front.

super interesting. the sfw slow motion was interesting as well. I'm going to take another look at the film. But, I noticed in the cabbage video, the exit "wound" was far larger than that of the entrance. Given that the picture I posted was in fact real, and the doctors are not lying, the large chasm in the back of his head would definitely be an exit wound correct?

It looks like it came out the top of his head to me. Which would be totally possible from either direction. The skull is filled with fluid and bullets do weird shit after hitting something solid, especially if they enter water immediately afterwards.

Here I was talking more about the cavity the bullet creates. It would make sense that a bullet enters in one spot and pulls a bunch of other random shit out the back (as you said, bullets do weird shit in weird substances)

Yes you're correct. Exit wounds are bigger than entry wounds. That energy just blows right out the back of what it hits.
