That is a photo of the fourth jug in yesterday's shoot. It shows two entrance holes. This indicates the bullet is now in 2 pieces.

Now following is a photo of the same jug showing one exit hole out the side. The petal stayed in the jug, and the bullet flew off without it.

















Here is a photo of the bullet captured this morning with the petal recovered yesterday.



















Two more photos of the bullet, and the petal.





















Now picture the bullet that escaped yesterday. It seems to me, the bullet without the one petal, is still viable, and would do horrific damage to lungs, heart, and any other stuff.
