The 9/30/13 Bones episode titled "El Carnicero en el Coche" made me smile when there was a burst of bloodspatter on the interior windshield after a blast of rounds from an automatic weapon killed the driver. It did not match the two bullet holes with a small amount of blood flow from facial wounds when the victim was viewed. The victim also was wearing a wool cap which would have contained a lot of the 'burst' of spatter. I also don't think that an automatic spray of gunfire would only result in two facial wounds. What a terrible shot the shooter was if this is so. I would imagine that an automatic weapon with the firepower displayed would create a great deal of damage if just aimed in a general direction. It sure did a lot of damage to the glass and body of the vehicle!
I did appreciate the reenactment reference the yaw of the bullet to answer the question as to why there were two entry wounds but no exit wounds in the initial victim. The beveling of the skull bone was mentioned. Usually there is a conical shape which indicates which way the projectile is traveling. Some wounds are more difficult to determine if entry or exit but within a series of examinations such as the underlying bone beveling; the underneath damage of the injury skin; the tearing of the skin surrounding the injury; and even potential reenactments, the wounds are usually determined correctly.
Interesting show tonight, I am very happy that original episodes are back!
