Not that you're cynical of course Ro, but yes, you are correct. having fired many guns in my day the bullet does separate from the casing when fired, and as you rightly point out, those are some crystal clean bullets without the slightest scrtach on them for being fired.
She is holding two cartridges. A bullet is the projectile that leaves the barrel of a gun and is usually deformed when it contacts anything other that soft tissue or similar substances.
Besides the obvious, which has already been mentioned, the photo has clearly been altered. The cartridges shown (not "bullets") are lit with a different light source from that illuminating the woman.
...I know! Since the democrats cut the funding to the troops, our troops have to resort to throwing the entire bullet and shell casing at the poor civilian houses with their hands..
Hope you're having a good vacation. May your labor vs leisure indifference curve be ever elastic.
Anyhow as a junior economist I made a graph for you based on some quick goat calculations of what would happen if the US ever changed to a full public health care system.
Its not one of the best graphs ever but I did make it just for you. -> here
You might get a chuckle. If it weren't so sad... ;)
The mainstream media need some of those bullets sent their way...maybe then they'd pull their collective heads out of their asses!! If my son or daughter told me they wanted to be part of that group I would disown them on the spot!! It would be worse than hearing they wanted to be a banker, lawyer or politician. Boy, this country sure is full of professional A-HOLES!
It is plainly obvious. The saintly Muslim grandmother remains unshot by the evil, repressive forces of the wicked imperialist Americans, may the Prophet infest their scrotums with fleas! Surely the agents of ev...excuse me, decadent corrup...I beg forgiveness again...the reporters will see the truth of the matter and expose the lies of the regime to the hateful infidels of the American people who will recall their devil soldiers?
No, I'm not certain about the photo being modified, but the lighting looks very different. The cartidges are lit with a white light that has a lot of glare. The woman is lit with a much softer, and different colored light.
I never shot a gun before but, don't the tip separate from the shell when fired?..
ReplyDeleteEven what she is holding is the whole projectile, and it hit the house, wouldn't the bullet get damaged in the process also?.
Not to mention the whole "Enjoying time with your grand parents" thingy
Maybe they fell out of a helicopter as it flew over?

ReplyDeleteall of the above, plus she needs a shave
ReplyDeleteYes...if there's any truth to her story, the photographer probably gave her pristine bullets to hold for the pic so they'd be recognizable as bullets.
ReplyDeleteNotice I said if. Not that I'm cynical...
Anon- Interesting point about the light refraction. Are you sure? That would be something to send to Powerline or something.
ReplyDeleteKasia,
You're not cynical. You're just too sexy.
;P
