Hi MMMMM:
You wrote: I would think the only differences in a bullet wound in 1757 and a bullet wound in 1998 would be those caused by size/caliber of the actual bullet.
One reason for my curiosity was Mann. I couldn't imagine him omitting such a key point, for as I've said, all along I had thought he'd been shot through the heart.
Actually, the forehead is an even tougher target to reach accurately...
There is a good book posted in the M.P' book store, the one about real-life counterpart of Hawkeye. It's a bit pricey and one has to wait a lot until its arrival, so I have not yet ordered it. The waiting part doesn't make sense of course, because the longer I don't order, the longer is the overall waiting, right?
But I think that book would shed some light to the mechanics of guns and terrains and terrains and such...
