From: Clothing increases the risk of indirect ballistic fractures
Indirect fractures in a thick rectangular specimen, clothed in a single layer of denim material. The fracture was caused by a 5.56 × 45 mm NATO bullet passing 10 mm medially to the medial cortex of a femur. Note the characteristic wedge-shaped fracture but with significantly more comminution and the more superficial permanent cavity.
