Can a bone have a bullet shot out of it?


Recommended Posts

Ahhh... Well, you'll likley want to use the humerus, as it's the most sizeable of the arm bones. However, this bone is subject to fracture (of course, it will vary across subjects in terms of bone density and strength). So, you'd likely get one good shot, then it would be too fractured to allow for precise targeting. If you think about it, even tennis can fracture this bone, so it's not likely the best place for multiple controlled explosions. Probably best to use something more likely to allow for another shot.
