There's a mysterious post over at the AMD Reddit page that shows an AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor that got shot. Exact details about what happened here aren't know, the guy who opened the thread claims the owner of this PC was related in drugs and lived in Central America. Apparently, the system got shot from multiple angles as part of an attack two months ago. The poster says the left behind shell casings indicate it was a 9mm handgun. Definitely not something you see every day!
