This guy and a buddy were sighting their rifles in. One of the guns was leaned up against the 4 wheeler he was standing on. The gun started to fall and I'm not sure if his buddy grabbed it, or something on the bike caught the trigger. Either way, he caught a .45-70 round right under the collar bone. I think it goes with out being said, how lucky he is to still be here.

The big hole around his shoulder blade is where the bullet entered and it traveled under his skin and exited right there on his neck, above his spinal cord! Just goes to show that he truly is LUCKY! The bullet just burned the edges of the skin of the wound that you see in the picture. He's getting better & better every day, last night he was even doing push ups!! He's finally able to use his arm again! Somehow it didn't hit anything major and basically ended up being a really bad flesh wound! It is truly a miracle that he is alive and not paralyzed!

Imagine a HV round well over 2000fps, like say a 375HH 458 win mag, or a 416rem. Think the results would be the same for this guy? Heck even a 300 mag would have split him wide open and certainly destroyed the spine!

This was point blank from a 45/70, and it's suppose to work on a buffalo? Wow, this guy must be made of super human flesh!

Low velocity bullets simply don't have the explosive effect, or the penetration for the biggest game. But then I guess a human survivor shot in the back from point blank will still have disbelievers!

Or maybe this was just a freak event? Does anyone really think that the same hit with a 375HH or a 458 win mag would have shown the same results?
