Agreed, could be a .380 (9mm short) - actually, I took a .380 round, stuck it in the hole and concluded it was a 9mm. In either case, the diameter of the bullet is 9mm. But it still could be a standard 9mm becuase of where in the roof it hit...alot of metal under it in that part. I may be able to extract it later. CM

IIRC, 9mm has more than a little bit of penetration ability, unless this was a wild shot at the end of a long trajectory. It's the same diameter slug as a .38 (or .380) more or less, so just the hole size won't tell you a lot. Once upon a time a certain family ventilated an abandoned hulk with a large variety of hole-makers, and it was very instructive. The absolute best hole making, through and through, was a basic .22 rifle. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net Christopher McCann, Squier Park, Kansas City, Missouri -2005 Blue Point Siamese, "Rose" -1987 300TD, 152K, "Rotkäppchen" -1985 300SD, 213K, "Wulf" -1972 Jacobsen 21" Turbo Vent -1971 Case 222 Hydrive, 12HP Kohler, 38" deck, Snowcaster, "One Banger" --------------------------------- Love cheap thrills?
