    You mean a missing chunk of flesh, as small as it could have been, can be grown back in a couple of weeks? Are you Wolverine?

    Bullets don’t make clean wounds.

    But leaving that aside, the whole incident, the “historic”, heroic photo with the American flag in the back, and Trump pumping his fist as if he was leading some kind of struggle, it smells of staging. Even exposing himself to more shots is very atypical of a self-centered person like himself.

      I saw no evidence that there was any “missing chunk of flesh”:

      there was a little blood,

      but having a supersonic projectile tear an old-man’s skin with its shockwave doesn’t mean the bullet actually touched him.

        That’s precisely what I’m arguing. You only see this kind of bullet grazing that doesn’t take flesh in the movies. In reality, flesh is like jello to a bullet, it literally splashes. If you’re telling me it was just a tiny, clean, insignificant wound, why did it bleed that much in seconds?

        Really, in what universe does a shockwave leave a clean wound? It’s literally an explosion, it would be even more messy.
