[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 3592537, member: 8119"] I'm not sure. 1) Depending on the exterior siding material (i.e. if it's brittle, masonry, or fiber-like), I would expect the bullet entry point would 'break-off' an irregular shape of the siding. Sure it would be mostly circular, but not perfectly. The pictured hole looks perfectly round. 2) Depending on the bullet type (FMJ/ hollow-point), I would expect that the bullet would mushroom (or tumble) after hitting the exterior wall. That would imply the interior drywall hole would be much larger and more irregular in shape. The picture again looks mostly circular, and similar in size. 3) If the bullet did pass through both the (exterior and interior) walls with enough velocity, I would expect some sort of witness mark on the opposite wall. Maybe not a hole - but at least a good dent in the drywall. Note, that the bullet could have changed trajectory slightly. On the opposite wall - if there's no exit hole, and no bullet on the floor, ...well???? [/QUOTE]
