The experiment used a live hog fixed and secured at about a distance of 6 ft. to the target made of galvanized sheet 1/8″ thick and covered with a plastic wall vinyl paper (to resemble to as close as possible to Phillip’s wall in the cabin).

Upon firing (at the pig’s temple) the following results were noted:

1. The bullet flattened like a mashed mushroom.
2. Blood & brain tissues and bone skull fragment were propelled into the target area. (See picture above)

Note: while blood & other brain & bone fragments were scattered all over the area of experiment (about the size of Phillip’s cabin), towards the target, on the wall & floor and from the shooter’s hand & T-shirt.
