calibers

I'm still trying to puzzle through the details of what happened.

Today, I measured the holes the bullets made in the screens. Since the guy was less than 25 feet away, and since it was a big gun, I am confident that the holes are probably a pretty accurate measure for the caliber of gun. Anyway, the holes both measure .437". A little research on Wikipedia confirmed that this is nearly the exact diameter of a .44 caliber round.

I got lucky. Really lucky.
