If you have gut in the chest cavity, it's because the bullet pushed it there, likely from a hard quartering away shot. The liver and stomach actually sits next to the diaphragm, neither of those are going to get sucked into the chest cavity....blown in by a bullet but not sucked in.

You are correct that the diaphragm is a muscle andb has some s

light movement but never enough to alter shot placement depending on the breathing cycle. My Dad told m,me some whopper stories as a kid too...that's what Dads do.

If the theory were true though, it would make a great arguement for the high shoulder shot
X2 well said ,makes scence to me
