wolverine, or Wolverine?

"It looks like a duck and walks like a duck," Frost replied, "but it quacks like a wolverine."

She said, "You can't find the bullet because there isn't one. There never was."

Since this is Frost, we can assume that she is referring to a corpse of some sort. Something that had a wound resembling a bullet impact. Now you can get a similar trauma without a bullet, just stab someone with something of a similar diameter very, very quickly. But at this point, the comic geek that I used to be wondered what it would look like if the X-man known as Wolverine "popped" a claw on someone during the time that he didn't have his adamantium improvements.

I'm thinking of a story I once read, where a cyborg killed by throwing ball bearings through people. No cyborgs here, but the wound would be somewhat bullet-esque. Of course, the implication I got from Frost's comment was that there was no projectile at all, which makes me wonder. The Mythbusters disproved the ice bullet, but if someone had the strength to throw it into someone, wouldn't it melt after impact?

There's an urban legend which states that whacking someone really hard with a spike heel will produce a wound not unlike that of a .22; I suspect this is very dubious, but amuses me.

Entry wound for a bullet is generally unremarkable, its the trauma the wound causes inside and upon exit wich are pretty remarkable.

if we simply want to simulate the entry wound then a screwdriver.

That won't work terribly well. There are micro-scale patterns of injury, even with small caliber/low velocity bullets, which are reasonably known to forensic pathologists. A patrolman won't see them, and a detective might simply think the wound was from a distant firearm, low velocity, small caliber. But a competent ME will twig fairly quickly. ...

Seriously overthinking this. Our unsub/Anomaloid kills yaks (and people) with mind bullets. QED Full Stop End.
