Just watched and enjoyed a great episode of Mythbusters where they attempt to prove/disprove the amazing ACW story of the soldier who was shot in the 'nether regions' with a Minie ball (yeeeouch!), which then supposedly transferred some 'viable genetic material' to a woman bystander when the same bullet hit her! Allegedly she fell pregnant as a result!
Great story, fairly comprehensively disproved by the guys at Mythbusters, but the real treat for me was seeing that Enfield being shot, albeit at very short range. Anyone else seen it? Know who the marksman is? The range they used looked familiar from some of the photos I have seen here on THR too.
