...he fired 2 or 3 rounds into the prostrate enemy to break away. Now you all know the power of an SLR. This guy took 3 rounds in the head at less that 4 feet and SURVIVED.

I'm a confirmed lurker, but I nearly sprayed my coffee when I read that. How is that even possible? There's no way all three rounds (if any) entered the skull - his brain would be mush a la JFK, surely? If was an HP, maybe...
What head? SLR? that man held artillery piece would rip limbs off if the hit was in the bone... or just strip the flesh if not. Even a close miss would hurt!
