As a career retired sniper I can categorically say this is utter bullshit. People say stuff they hear other people say and they think it’s true. It’s not. I promise you at that distance with that 30.06 rifle I could put 100 shots out 100 inside your mouth hole and the guys who are still in there prime would ask you which nostril you want hit. When professional shooters do it we hit what we aim for and if we don’t we usually know the exact reason we missed and nail the follow up shot immediately. The whole bullets do crazy unpredictable things all the time lie is laughable. If that were true snipers would not exist. Our profession is based on repetitive consistency. Bullets go exactly where you point them unless you or environmental factors affect them. Period.
Literally 16/17 Remington products in .30-06 uses kind of soft point, tipped hollow point, expanding copper, or some other type of projectile designed specifically to deform and/or break into pieces when impacting soft tissue. You could walk into any sporting goods store and pick something at random off the Remington shelf in .30-06 and the odds of choosing something that would do exactly what happened in this case is 94.1% likely. This is honestly the most retarded conversation I think I've ever had to be a part of but I'm just astonished at the lack of information the general public has about projectiles and ballistics and probabilities. It's wild to me. Go here to Remington's fucking website and see for yourself. We know based on the fact that it had a copper outer jacket and a lead interior core that it isn't something exotic like an all-copper projectile (first photo). This also tells us that it ISN'T a frangible projectile, because most frangibles use a sintered iron and copper core with a copper jacket, or sometimes with no jacket at all. It's also unlikely to be some of the more "premier brand" stuff like a Swift brand projo because stores don't usually stock that stuff. Maybe during hunting season and maybe more likely in Utah given the prevalence of long range shooting but still, unlikely also due to cost. A shooter probably wouldn't buy a $75 box of ammo when there's another for $42 that sounds like it does pretty much the same thing. I would bet a considerable amount of money it's a Remington Cor-Lokt 180gr soft point. It's probably Remington's highest selling product in .30-06. But yes Owen please tell me more, I'm here to be educated. remington.com/rifle/?prefn1=…
The final day of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing ends today at the noon hour. After the defense final DNA witness the court allowed the family to watch the zoomed in surveillance video from Utah Valley University. Even zoomed in the quality of the video surprisingly high. You could see the man on the roof- reportedly Tyler Robinson getting down into that wine or prone position before the shot was fired. The video showing Robinson allegedly returning to campus with jeans on shows that very distinct limp with the rifle likely in the leg of his pants. Heartbreaking to watch Erika Kirk and Charlie’s parents as they watched in greater detail these final moments before Charlie was shot & killed on campus.
BREAKING: @jackposobiec details video of Tyler Robinson in today’s preliminary hearing of allegedly taking the shot that killed Charlie Kirk. Judge Tony Graf is expected to rule on whether probable cause exists for trial following written briefs, with oral arguments set for Sept. 1. @TaylerUSA | @TPUSA
