How Messy is a Contact Shotgun Blast??? (Alex Murdaugh Trial)
This video experimentally recreates the forensic effects of a contact shotgun blast, inspired by the Alex Murdaugh trial. It demonstrates how trapped gases and pressure cause extensive damage beyond projectile impact, destroying the back and top of a ballistic dummy head while leaving the face relatively intact. The experiment highlights the significant splatter and debris generated, offering insights into trial evidence.
