She been going in on the Israeli conspiracy theory. And there’s a lot of people that think she’s going to be the one that exposes everything.

Not saying I believe that, just for context.

Even if she does somehow expose it, no one will listen to her because of the reputation she’s built for herself.

A .30-06 hitting him where it did would have done a good amount of damage, but it would have still had enough energy to kill anyone standing right behind him and possibly go through that person.

For those that are unfamiliar with the .30-06: on the left is a .30-06 cartridge, on the right is the .223/5.56 round that an AR-15 shoots. The .30-06 is a 3-4 times heavier round with far more powder behind it. It hits with significantly more kinetic energy than an AR round, especially at long distances, on the order of 2-3 times as much kinetic energy which is why its one of the go-to rounds for hunting while 5.56 is said to be too low power for anything other than small game.

The round hit Charlie in the side of his neck and dealt enough damage that I would believe a .30-06 could have done it. What makes me question it is that he had people behind him, and a bullet of that caliber with that much energy should have either critically injured or outright killed another person behind him in the line of fire.

Saw this comparison that displays what they'd do with a chunk of meat


Timed it for the .30-06. He wasn't accurate with the .308

Even if she were to expose it and even if everyone were to believe her then what?

Is the actual damage reasonable given it ricocheted off of his vest?

Or given that much power, would it have likely imbedded in the vest instead of ricocheted?

I looked at some of the angles that appear to show him wearing something, but it's minimal so more than likely a level 3a soft plate or something of the sort. Even if it were a level 3 plate, a .30-06 would sail right through it. The only thing that can stop a .30-06 is level 4 body armor which carries a bit of heft to it and would have been clearly noticeable under his shirt.

Also, its highly improbable that the bullet ricocheted. Body armor really doesn't work that way, even with level 4 armor.
