He can, the nerve that controls the forearm muscles (and hand) runs on the bottom of the elbow.
The problem is he is in shock. Unless someone was smart and forced him to drop it he could easily start squeezing up on that gun to cope with the pain.
Everything with firearms is about velocity and weight.
A 5.56 is usually a 55 grain projectile that is traveling at 3100 feet per second when it exits the barrel.
At that velocity the impact alone creates a wound channel that is massive.
Add being as close as the shooter was you get the exit gases following behind the projectile to further the size of the wound channel.
Its devastating.
Now with a 5.56 they are almost always pass through due to their high velocity. It's why in my 9mm I have hollow points. They will dump all their energy into the first few inches of the target.
With my 7.62x39 they will dump so much energy into the target you know you got hit, and generally they wont pass through.

Is that a rifle wound?
I'm not questioning that he was shot, but that looks like shotgun....maybe....?...or a long gun simply obliterates at close range...?

Close range as he was yeah 5.56 with the gas exit on a shot will do that.

Thanks.
Good to know.
I assumed it would be trough and through.
The pressure and proximity made it more destructive.
