Yeah no one survives that it's sus I'm pretty sure it was a hollow point too.

Didn't address this in the last post cause I didn't see it, but hollow points would actually increase chances of survival in this case. If the original issue is lack of penetration, and it clearly is given that it was stopped by his skull, expending energy on deforming the projectile would lower that even further. This is the same reason that with smaller rounds like .32 ACP its recommended you actually use FMJ projectiles instead of hollow points as they both are ineffective (not applicable here because .45's will actually expand) and the additional drag created by the increase in surface area makes them penetrate significantly less.
If I had to guess these were very cheap hollow points and likely using a heavier projectile and a weak powder load, which is pretty common with cheap ass ammo. That coupled with panicked shooting would lead to him missing vitals and not doing significant damage when he actually hit something important.
Basically, Odom was a retard with the same knowledge of ballistics as an average grunt and chose a shit gun for this. .45AARP btfo forever 9mm wins again.

You have no idea how soft lead interacts with brittle materials do you faggot? Even if Odom landed glancing blows on the pastor's skull, those shots would've caused those parts of the pastor's skull to implode, sending brittle bone shrapnel through the pastor's skull, leaving him brain dead. But let's be realistic, he mag dumped point blank, so at least 1 shot should've been a direct hit. 45 was chosen by the US military for it's supreme penetration characteristics. Given that these were hollow points, the pastor's skull should've looked like a kicked in pumpkin. Have you ever seen a HESH tank rounds hit another tank in slow motion? Yeah, well that's what the pastor's head should've looked like after taking a .45ACP hollow point to the head.

>those shots would've caused those parts of the pastor's skull to implode
No they wouldn't.
Both because they clearly didn't and because, if deflected, the projectile wouldn't be efficiently dumping energy into the bone. You have literally never studied ballistics and are probably noguns. Ask me again when the past gets shot with a bullet that isn't a subsonic hollowpoint.

idk i think the pastor should've die from those shots. he clearly isn't human

I agree to an extent. Statistically, he should have, but there is also a realistic chance he was just a statistical anomaly and got very lucky. There are many cases where people have survived far worse odds as far as gunshot wounds go. For example, a mexican man in 1915 survived 8 shots to the body and a final point blank shot to the head from a full sized rifle in a firing squad execution. He lived until 1976. More famously Simo Hayha survived an explosive round to the mouth and lived to 96. Its not like you have to be a reptilian to survive a handgun round.
