    He was shot with an AR-15 (assuming it was the bullet and not shrapnel).

    Those make an entry wound smaller than a hole punch (5.56mm vs. 7.9mm). I mean, a 5.56 is 3/1000ths of an inch smaller than a .22. (Close enough for you guns nerds.) Point being, for those that don’t know, the bullet is tiny, it’s the speed that counts.

    So no, I wouldn’t expect to see much after a couple of weeks of healing and careful cleaning. But that pic where the only red spot is so high and close? Either the bullet was extraordinarily close, or he got hit with shrapnel.
