Here are possible answers to why Charlie’s t-shirt ‘puffed up and outward’ after the shot...and why his neck wound looks to be an ‘exit wound’ because of its size... 1. Charlie’s t-shirt ‘puffing up’ after the (palm pistol) round impacts his neck. Here’s AI data that explains the Shock and Pressure Physics that likely blew his shirt outward and ‘puffed it up' briefly. 2. First, some say the observed wound is too large to be an Entry Wound. Wrong. Here are the physics explaining how Charlie’s neck wound was as large as it was... AI Overview Yes, a gunshot entry wound can be large, especially if the bullet deforms, fragments, explodes or yaws upon impact
- Bullet fragmentation or deformation: Bullets that break apart (frangible), explode, or deform (like hollow-point rounds, which ‘mushroom' on impact) can create a larger entry wound. What a standard entry wound looks like Yes, a gunshot entry wound can be large due to the pressure wave (shockwave) and expanding gases from the firearm , although this is dependent on the type of weapon and ammunition, and is not the most common result. The size and appearance of a gunshot entry wound can be influenced by several factors: - Bullet deformation: Expanding, exploding or fragmenting ammunition, such as hollow-point bullets, can cause more damage and a larger wound cavity upon impact because of the increase in the bullet's surface area. The phenomena of cavitation and shockwaves are distinct but related aspects of bullet ballistics that cause significant internal damage. - Shockwave (pressure wave): A sonic pressure wave travels ahead of the bullet, compressing the tissue. While short-lived, this pressure pulse can reach high levels. Historically, there was debate over its damaging effects, but some studies and accounts suggest that in specific, high-velocity cases, this wave can contribute to tissue damage, particularly in less-elastic tissues like the liver and brain. However, the shockwave is different from the more damaging temporary cavitation effect. ______________________________________ Regarding one of the latest theories running amok…that of the tiny lavaliere mic on the right side of his shirt (our left)... There seems no way a ‘charge’ from that little mic could explode or fire off anything which somehowmoves to the Charlie’s left (our right) and makes the entry wound. That would require the charge or ‘bullet' to go He was simply shot in the neck and we see the entrance wound. That’s it. The high pressure shock wave from the bullet hitting his neck is what caused the t-shirt to ‘puff out’ and NONE of these people seem to be researching the physics of a pistol shot. READ MORE...
AL says... A bullet traveling at supersonic speed, or near it, causes the air at the point of impact to react by generating a high-pressure shock wave. The compression of air molecules in this shock wave creates a powerful kinetic effect, even before the bullet physically strikes its target. This phenomenon is a matter of physics, as the air molecules are not chemically altered during the process. Physics of a bullet's impact on air - Formation of a shock wave: The bullet's immense speed forces air molecules to compress and bunch together in front of it. Since the air cannot move out of the way fast enough, this compression creates a conical shock wave—similar to the sonic boom of a fighter jet—that precedes and surrounds the bullet. Can A Bullet Entry Wound Cause Charlie’s Shirt To Blow Back Outward? AI Overview Yes, a gunshot entry wound can cause the victim's clothing to blow back and outward
. This happens even though the bullet is traveling inward, and it is the opposite of what is typically expected. - Cavity collapse: This temporary cavity expands and then collapses rapidly. As the cavity collapses, it creates a powerful vacuum effect. This powerful recoil effect ejects air, tissue, and blood back out through the entry hole. Factors that influence the effect - Body part affected: A contact gunshot to a body part with a confined space, such as the head, is more likely to produce a "blow-back" effect that results in the outward tearing of skin and clothing. AI Overview Yes, a gunshot can cause clothing to be pushed backward and outward at the entry wound
. While it seems counterintuitive, this is not caused by the bullet's impact but by the rush of high-pressure gases and turbulent airflow that accompany the projectile, particularly at close ranges.
The phenomenon of clothing moving backward from the entry wound is based on complex ballistic physics and fluid dynamics: - Muzzle gases and "muzzle wind": The expanding gas that propels a bullet out of a barrel travels at a very high velocity. When fired at close range, this gas rushes out behind the bullet and can impact the target moments later. This creates a high-speed turbulent "muzzle wind" that flows toward the target. Distinguishing this from other effects - Not the bullet's momentum: The backward movement of clothing is not the same as a person being knocked backward by the bullet's force, a common myth debunked by forensic ballistics. The momentum of a small arms projectile is negligible compared to the momentum of an adult human.
I hope this information will shed new light and understanding on how Charlie’s T-shirt puffed up the moment he was hit. - Jeff Rense |
