I have the actual x-ray films and will make digital photos tomorrow and will post them.

BTW, I have also stated that thigh shots are a true minority and that the basis of gel being a simulated shot to the thigh is again inaccurate as we have discussed. There is no homogeneous part of the body: no where is it devoid of skin, suncutaneous tissue, fascia, and bone. My outside guess is that less than 2% of all extremity wounds are along the long axis of the thigh...not many people shot lying down. Just a fact of real world shootings.
