Interesting....

 

I always like it when MythBusters do "ballistic tests." Even though their show is hardly scientific (more like the ever amusing "Popular Science") it is entertaining.

My daughter was on the history channel for work on the Donner Party site in California. The History Channel made a big to-do about cannibalism, with no evidence and glossed over all of actual the scientific evidence that found no trace of human bones out of 8000 bone particles found at both of the Donner campfire sites. My daughter is a PhD., Anthropologist (bone and teeth formation specialist) and she looked at every one of all 8000 sectioned bone fragments through an electron microscope. The actual story was written up in the New Yorker magazine.

 

That Napoleon the third Sou looks like it was hit with an axe, not a bullet. Having shot a few thrown cents myself with a .22 rifle in my formative years. They don't split like that. They normally have a big dent or even a hole in them.
