No, it's not as bad as it looks.

...But this is.

Easy enough to pic out the frags in the first pic. In the second? Not so much...

Did you stick shards into a length of pork or did something terrible happen?

For some reason the second pic looks like bacon... mmm...

Were these implanted by hand? Or distributed by decompressing gas??

Frags were distributed by hand.

What's interesting is that when there was just a rack o' ribs, the frags were very easy to see. Throw in a bit more tissue (ie, some boneless steaks) to account for a torso being a bit thicker than just a rack of ribs and suddenly... Not so easy to spot. Some of 'em are, of course, but some of the small ones virtually disappear.

Granted, there are some games you can play with an X-ray reader than I'm not playing here that help things stick out more but it was an interesting experiment.

D_hall, I can print these out and show some of my friends right? I have a few friends who want to make cannons and put 300-800 psi into pvc, and this should deter them from doing so.

JR, that's because we discussedin PMs that I was going to do it a few weeks back (but didn't actually get a chance to until recently).

Warhead, yes, feel free to print 'em out.

Well, only one conclusion can be made: get rid of PVC and acquire hybrids!

How do you think I paid for the X-rays? The X-ray guy kept the steaks....
