This is an exit wound on the forehead of a young woman who was killed on her honeymoon.  Note the classic external beveling that is seen on all exit wounds.

This is another exit wound.  The entrance wound from this bullet is shown under the entrance wound section (second photo).  The size of this exit would is roughly twice the size of the entrance wound.

This exit wound's associated entrance wound is also shown in the entrance wound section (first photo).  The hole marked (a) is the exit wound and it is located in the occipital bone.  The copper stain marked by (b) was left by the bullet when it became lodged in the scalp (penetrating and perforating type of injury).  This type of wound is common due to internal ricochet which occurs 10-25% of the time, depending on the caliber of the bullet.  The most common route taken by the bullet in these cases is through the brain to the other side of the skull where it strikes and is then deflected parallel to the internal table.
