What did this?

Despite my being married to the TS, I know next to nothing about bullets...that said.

27 year old male comes in with self inflicted GSW to right chest. He didn't clean the house, sister got mad so to spite her he shot himself...

anyway...entrance is the right pec just lateral and superior to the nipple...about 1 cm in size with blast burns. The exit is mid scapular and about 1.5cm in size. The track is filled with the stuff seen on CT... almost like a shot gun kind of stuff but the entrance/exit isn't consistent.

Will ask the police later when they come by but was curious. Will attach the CXR and a cut off the CT to follow.
