   CTs like to argue that ER doctors in a big city hospital would likely have   
   lots of   
   experience treating victims of gunshot wounds and that much is true. It does   
   not follow that they would be able to distinguish an entrance wound from an   
   exit wound. For starters, most gunshot victims are shot by handguns. While   
   full metal jacket bullets are available for handguns, they are most commonly   
   used for recreational and competition shooting. They are not the best choice   
   for self defense and not normally used in criminal activity. Soft lead and   
   hollow point ammo is most often used for those purposes. Such bullets   
   deform on impact, even when hitting soft tissue. They are also less likely   
   to exit the body as was the case with the round Jack Ruby fired into Oswald.   
   When such ammo does exit a body, it will be deformed and is not going to   
   produce a neat, round exit wound like a full metal jacket bullet would. It is   
   therefore not surprising that the ER team would believe the neat round   
   bullet hole in JFK's throat was an entrance wound because they likely had   
   little to no experience with exit wound produced by FMJ bullets.
