oh any shotgun blast to the face like that would blow his face clear off, no doubt. but the clean cut of the eyes just doesn't seem right to me at all. for such a clean cut to occur on both eyes, and to have the remaining half eyeball stay in such perfect positioning in the socket doesn't seem too likely to me. i'm not a doctor though, so there's a chance i'm wrong, but i don't THINK so.
i'll dismiss the cutting theory quickly though. i've done a dissection on an eyeball before. making a clean cut through that tissue even with a scalpel isn't the easiest thing to do, it's much tougher than flesh. if the eyes were too far gone, they simply would have removed the whole thing.
i'm not sure why i've taken such an interest in arguing the authenticity of this pic. haha.
