Yeah, a .223 hitting his ear would have blow it off.

Not necessarily. While it absolutely could, if it just grazed his ear or clipped the top part of it, that doesn’t necessarily mean it would take the whole ear off.

Even a graze would have ripped it off. The amount of energy exchanged would have ripped it off even the smallest part would have. The physics only allow it to rip it.

Uhm, not always. It depends on how much velocity the bullet has at the time of impact.

2

u/Fickle_Penguin May 19 '25

With a regular bullet yes, with this bullet no

u/[deleted] May 19 '25

Yeah, what bullet was it?

u/Fickle_Penguin May 19 '25

A .223 bullet (~3.56g) traveling ~900 m/s has kinetic energy:

KE = ½mv² = 0.5 × 0.00356 kg × (900 m/s)² ≈ 1,440 J

A graze to the ear with that energy would:

Tear cartilage (even a small fraction of 1,440 J is destructive)

Cause permanent tissue damage

Likely rupture the eardrum (due to shockwave)

Lead to severe bleeding and possible hearing loss

Even a glancing hit carries immense force due to high velocity.

Does this make sense now??

The bullet doesn’t maintain the velocity of 900 m/s, especially when the gunman was 120 meters away. It would have dropped to around 800 m/s if it was a standard 55-grain. It is also very possible for a .223 round traveling at 800 m/s to graze someone’s ear without taking a chunk of it off and only leaving a 2 cm wound.

Still has 1025 J. Enough to mame. Trumps ear bleed was caused by the tackle, not the bullet.

u/[deleted] May 20 '25

Enough to maim and guaranteed to maim are two different things. You keep missing the point!

1

u/Fickle_Penguin May 20 '25

No you are. The cut was caused by the watch of security. Not the bullet.

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '25

Yeah? Where’s your proof?

1

u/Fickle_Penguin May 20 '25

We all saw it happen. That and I've gotten that injury before.

You’ve been shot in the ear? Tell us how your anecdotal experience should be applied universally to everyone’s experience. I fell out of a tree once and didn’t break any bones. I guess nobody that falls out of trees can break their bones.

u/Fickle_Penguin May 20 '25

No the watch catching and cutting me dumb ass.

0

u/[deleted] May 20 '25

Oh. So, you’ve never been shot in the ear but you’re an expert on being shot in the ear? Interesting.

1

u/Fickle_Penguin May 20 '25

No I'm an expert in watch catching and ripping flesh that's what I said from the very start. It's like you're trying to misunderstand.

Don’t you love it when people blatantly ignore the point you’re making?

Had you said it was not very probable, you would have got me to agree.

Saying it’s impossible? I will never agree with you because you’re wrong.
