I think it's just mostly dead. I'd find a way to salvage some of that. Especially the case with a bullet hole.
Reminds me of a story.
Traveling salesman walks up to a farmhouse and notices a three legged pig in the yard. After making his pitch to the farmer he asks about the pig. The farmer tells him that's no ordinary pig. A while back the house caught fire and that pig dragged everyone out to safety. The salesman asks did he lose his leg in the fire? The farmer says no, he was fine then. But, you don't just eat a pig like that all at one time.
