Come on, with enough force off a ricochet to pierce the skull.

They can't even get a bullet to ricochet to kill someone.
They tested on MYTH BUSTERS and could not get enough force from a bullet

Soft lead bullets and hard steel nails behave differently - and

He might just have been a REAL clumsy amateur carpenter too.. Trying
to nail down throug top sill into stud, and missed . Or nailing into
roof structure, and bringing nailer down, accidentally fired the darn
thing without being anywhere close to any wood to hold the nail. How
it happened isn't clear. What DOES appear to be sure is it DID.

But then there is still a small but sizeable group of Americans who
still don'r believe man has walked on the moon - - - - - .
Or that their President is an American - or that their president is
NOT a Muslim.

Damn, there I got politics into the thread - now it should continue
