Just to chime in on the marksmanship aspect here because I know a thing or two about it. There is no way he was shot with a 30-06, even though the round impacted in the neck, there is a very strong chance we would have seen Charlie Kirk’s head come smoove off. Not to mention we would have very clearly seen a whole bunch of his neck matter exiting out the back. Shit woulda been like scanners. But that’s not what happened. It looks like he got hit in the neck with a 5.56, the projectile tumbled and severed his spinal cord.
My theory, he’s not some Israeli commando; or CIA paramilitary sniper. There are a lot of glaring issues that a professionally instructed marksman would never make, all of which the shooter did.
He aimed for the T-Box(the eyes and nose) while trying to take a precision shot, took a high angle shot (my guess is around 30 degrees) but didn’t account for effected distance change, and had an incredibly sloppy exfil from a firing position that he was fucking silhouetted at.
I think the young boul had an AR-15 with a decent enough low power variable optic, and zeroed said optic at 100 yards. He trained with it for a while and got decent enough to make a shot at 100-200 yards, not hard at all. However, he didn’t adjust for the bullet drop of 5.56. When zeroed at 100 yards, 5.56 will drop about 6 inches by the time it impacts at 200 yards. There was no windage adjustment needed because it was a calm enough day and at that range there is no need for a wind hold unless the wind is like at 15mph plus crosswind. I think he was tensing his thumb as he pulled the trigger which is why the round impacted to the right.
I’ve included some pictures, one is the exit wound of a 30-06, one shows the ballistic trajectory of 5.56 at varying zeroing distance, the other is how you calculate for distance change when taking high angle shots.
