Since that wound healed perfectly in about 4 days, we know it was just strawberry jam and a bandaid. The ear didn't come close.

Yes I've seen it, but that is from a shot hitting roughly dead between the eyes.

Yes, that is what a 30.06 would do had it entered there... but what we are being told is that it entered around where the neck meets the shoulders, on Kirk's left side of his neck.

When bullets of sufficient energy hit a human head, the head tends to basically crack like an egg.

The neck / clavicle region would not... explode to quite that same degree, but the wound should be larger for a 30.06, roughly at least the size of a soft ball should be completely blown out of his neck area.

What you've heard is wrong.

You would have been able to see the outline of plate armor imprinting under his clothes.

Instead, you can see his nipples poking through his fairly thin white shirt.

Correct, the scenario we are being presented with, with this latest detail, is laughably impossible, if one has any experience with shooting this caliber.

Not implausible.

Impossible.

A straight on shot from a 30.06 at 150 yards, yes, would have blown off a chunk of his neck at least the size of orange, a soft ball.

It is completely impossible that a 30.06 would have just stopped barely under the skin, stopped by a collar bone or vertebrae.

A 30.06 at 150 yards makes entire cinder blocks explode.

No human bone can withstand this intact, none, full stop, this is not a question, a 30.06 at 150 yards has approximately 2200 FT/LBs of kinetic energy, more than double that of 5.56 at the same range, any human bone a 30.06 hits from 150 yards away would shatter and explode within the body, the bone fragments tearing through the body, probably also erupting out of the skin.

And before anyone comments this: No, Kirk was not wearing body armor, you would have been able to see plate armor on his chest leaving tell tale imprinting signs with that light shirt he was wearing, and you can just literally see his man nipples through the shirt.

Anything less than level 4 plate would have been blown directly through by a 30.06, it would not result in a ricochet into his neck as I keep seeing people say.

(And realistically, level 4 plate might not even hold up to a 30.06 at that range.)

Most of right wing gun tube is currently extremely pissed off over this 'news', as ... they tend to shoot targets on video for a living.

And anyone can go right now and watch them show you how impossible this described scenario is.

This is absolute horseshit, it is an obvious lie.

You know. I hadn't thought about that. I've seen that round hit a deer, and my thinking before was that it instantly killed the deer sort of like Kirk.

But that hole was much bigger and it was knocked clear off its feet. Like it got hit by a car.

Kirk was still sitting upright and the would was far too small.

Won't stop these mouth breathers from trying.

I thought it was Netanyahu? Or did they post at roughly the same time?
