but too much damage for a .243, and if it ricocheted off vest thats just an absurdly well placed shot especially if windy
imagine if he got domed live like that fuckin a |

Date: September 11th, 2025 1:25 AM Author: Green stimulating area It seems to me that the video was sufficiently effective as is. I don’t think you can tell what caliber of rifle from the video. It could be anything from .223 and up to .338 lapua (I doubt it a .338 or 300 winmag or anything like that). No second shot is vaguely informative as it makes it marginally more likely the shooter used a bolt action which makes it marginally more likely it was more like a 30 caliber or derivative of a 30 caliber: .308/7.62 NATO, .30-06 or necked down versions of one of those (e.g. .243 which is a necked down .308).

|
Date: September 11th, 2025 1:33 AM Author: Green stimulating area I have not seen that video. Link? I will say it did look like an odd shot placement/angle impact but hard to tell. When you shoot things (hunting or people) odd things sometimes happen. It would be wild if the shooter hit him in the plate carrier (which is a perfect shot for shooting someone without a vest) and it did bounce off and hit his neck. [EDIT: I now have seen the video and I am still not sure what happened]. However, a common answer is usually correct.

Date: September 11th, 2025 1:35 AM Author: Diverse Plaza There is a vid on X where you can clearly see what looks like a bullet bouncing off his right shoulder before hitting his left neck.

Date: September 11th, 2025 1:45 AM Author: Diverse Plaza It doesn't make sense. It really does look like a ricochet. A lot of witnesses said it looked like he was shot in the chest.

Date: September 11th, 2025 9:25 AM Author: puce travel guidebook The idea of 30-06 ricocheting doesn’t track with me no matter what the video “shows.” Ricochets are more likely when there are Angles involved and you don’t hit something head on imo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5772142&forum_id=2/en-en/#49254536) |
|
Date: September 11th, 2025 12:18 PM Author: Green stimulating area I tried to find a video of a bullet going off of a plate and could not get anything close. Then I went to armor videos and stats for battleships, and there is no way assuming it scales and even assuming a curved plate (which is a big assumption) and even assuming Kirk was wearing a cheap steel plate (an even bigger assumption) and that it was both steel and curved (another assumption). I don’t think it ricocheted. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5772142&forum_id=2/en-en/#49255189) |
|
Date: September 11th, 2025 12:22 PM Author: Diverse Plaza In the frame by frame you can see how the bullet on his right shoulder turns and heads up to the neck area. There's literally a frame where it's right in between where you first see it appear and the cavitation wound. It literally travels visibly frame by frame. Watch it in slo mo and pause it when the bullet is in between the two areas.
You can agree that something that looks like a bullet appears on his right shoulder, moves towards the cavitation, and then disappears as his neck hole explodes. This is provable with the video evidence. It's indisputable. |

last time you used one? never heard of anyone using this outside of Alaska for huge game or competitive long range shooting competitons
It's literally a pro caliber bullet and its designed to go subsonic after 1300 yards and push cartridges to the limit |

Date: September 11th, 2025 1:55 AM Author: Poppy Vivacious Range New Version for a guy to walk away the most likely scenario is a bolt action with a short barrel and a folding stock, you could store that in a very regular bag in about 3 seconds and not worry about casings, I think .300 blackout would make a lot of sense but it really could be anything (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5772142&forum_id=2/en-en/#49253905) |

|
Date: September 11th, 2025 2:10 AM Author: Supple sanctuary Gun nerds ITT talking about the particular bullet. It's not a super-long shot. Any rifle with a decent shooter would do.
More interesting is how he concealed the gun and disappeared. Makes me suspect a short barrel and a folding stock, but even still he'd need to be carrying a bag. Most likely Mossad or Russia. |
|
Date: September 11th, 2025 9:11 AM Author: Green stimulating area You can take an AR into upper and lower and put it in a back pack/computer bag in a few seconds. A lot of semi auto rifles are similar. A bolt action, not so much although I am sure there are those out there. Folding stock only matters if you don’t take it apart.
Analysis is a was the shot was more like 144 yards, not 200 yards. That’s a chip shot (ironically or not the same distance as the TRUMP shot). jeffostroff on youtube (the only gun guy video I found). |

Date: September 11th, 2025 2:54 AM Author: Adventurous patrolman It was .300 blackout IMO (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5772142&forum_id=2/en-en/#49253998) |

I NEED MY YOUTUBE GUN AUTISTS TO ANALYZE THIS |
|
Date: September 11th, 2025 9:16 AM Author: puce travel guidebook It was a .30-06 according to the ATF poast. The bullet drop is what got him in the neck imo. Over 2x the muzzle energy of .223 iirc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5772142&forum_id=2/en-en/#49254503) |

Date: September 11th, 2025 10:10 AM Author: aqua business firm brethren He may have been trying for the chest. Since he was shooting downhill from an elevated position bullet drop is less.

|
Date: September 11th, 2025 12:20 PM Author: puce travel guidebook Imo it kind of is a good idea. His Head was wide due to skull expansion. And the head is at the center of the body and the shooter didn’t sight in perfectly. He doesn’t know he’s exactly 200 yards away without a rangefinder. So an indeterminate amount of bullet drop puts him at center of mass or a neck shot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5772142&forum_id=2/en-en/#49255197) |
