...and yet....I'm not saying that one bullet didn't strike the other. What I'm saying is that the narrative of it all is bullshit. The odds of one bullet hitting another that was in a bandoleer or a magazine or in a big pile of ammo is nowhere near 1 in 300 Bazillion or whatever the claim was. The picture implies that the bullets struck each other in mid air and that the chances of that happening are so ridiculously high. Clearly, that narrative is false.
Actually, had the two bullets impacted in mid air, the odds of that happening would indeed be staggering. However, the odds of someone actually finding the two bullets would be even more staggering.
Which, incidentally, graphically, illustrates the difference between a magazine and a clip.
But yet two bullets impacted each other during the civil war and is in a museum somewhere.I'm not saying that one bullet didn't strike the other.
