"Pool Wars" by Jay Helfert

OK, three shooting stories, three different calibers. Guy one gets gutshot, pretty close range with a .45 ACP. 230gr. hardball. Hospitalized but lives to talk about it.

Guy two is standing on a porch, middle of winter wearing a very heavy wool overcoat. A drive by goes down, dude is hit from about thirty yards, from a moving vehicle with a .25 ACP. The freakin' bullet not only penetrates the coat but misses any ribs and slips into the heart. Dudes dies on the floor.

Guy three is in the passenger seat of a car with an open window. Shooter walks by and hits him in the right temple from about a foot. Powder burns show its close. A .32 ACP. But whoa, there's an exit wound on the left temple, and the victim is really pissed. In the ER the Doc looks at the entry hole, turns the vic's head looks at the exit hole. The whole time the guys still standing there jabbering in Spanish. Comes out of x-ray and you can see how the bullet flattened at the skull, then traveled below the skin though the fatty tissue, under the chin, back up the other side and popped like a pimple out the other side.

You just never know with gun shots what will go down.
 
Just read PW's 1. What was Pancho's real name? Just curious.

No one really knows for sure, but he went by Vincent Furia and another Italian name when he played in Johnston City and the Stardust. He also used Harvey Weiss a couple of times when he was in the advertising and promotion biz.
