What an indignyful way to leave this earth…

An M1 rifle would do it…as would a standard issue 45 cal pistol…most of the time, the entry wound is quite smaller than the exit, but sometimes depending on the distance and angle, the entry wound can be quite nasty…a 30 cal or 50 cal, maybe but there most like would be considerably more damage…especally with the 50…also, the face, by its structure, has few fleshy / muscular parts, unlike the chest, leg, or even arm, so the visual damage is usually a great deal more pronounced…
