I have read somewhere that the whole "bullet forensics" process is mostly pseudoscience anyway. A quick search found this article:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-field-of-firearms-forensics-is-flawed/

If a shell casing wasn't ejected on the scene (like with a bolt-action not cycled) then all they would have to analyze is the what's-left-of-bullet which is possibly just a mess of lead and copper. May or may not have rifling marks left on it

Bullet tracing is mostly a TV fiction. This headline is just the natural state of things.

Charlie Kirk’s killing was an inside job. Where was Erika? Where was Trump? Where are the Epstein files?

So when do we get the evidence that this kid wasn't involved, and is an AIPAC plant?

Every high profile murder that happens from now on will be conspiracy-theoried to death. Articles like this fuel it. I think it often makes sense to doubt the story we're told. But many Lemmy users for example, are not "doubting". They "know" what happened.

His neck just did that.

Must have been a second shooter on the grassy knoll.

This story stinks, totally impossible story by the fbi on three counts at least. No shit they didn't release the ballistics results, because that rifle would've made a very different more dramatic wound than whatever hit kirk.

DJ Trump did Kirk 11.

erika grifting kirk already forgiven tyler.

Can't wait for the 2nd shooter theories. Didn't Kirk's head jerk back, and to the left?

It was spontaneously created by the Almighty. You didn't need proof of the bullet's firing. You just need strong enough belief. If God came down and snatched the bullet from Trump's ear, he also placed this one.

If the bullet doesn't fit, you must acquit.

Can we compare it to IDF rifles next?

Bullet analysis is circumstantial and pseudosciencey anyway so the fact they couldn't get that in their favor is kind of weird.

If you’re going to report on bullet analysis, you need to also report on the evolution of the science. Which is to say, the way we understand bullet analysis from a show like CSI or something is incorrect. Bullets simply can’t be linked to firearms like fingerprints can be linked to people.

The way I understand the science is that bullet analysis tells us if a bullet is from a family of guns, not a specific gun like it was used in the past. Bullet analysis and be used to rule out a weapon, not to directly tie one to a crime. This article doesn’t tell us the gun was eliminated like it suggests.

This is NOT Proof of anything at All!

-Pizzagate believers who call Michelle Obama a legitimate Man!

Honestly the only reason that I don't think he was hit in the way they claim at a minimum is because thirty aught six would usually do way more damage. It's possible it was a grazing but old leaky neck wouldve had a far larger chunk taken out of his neck if IMO had it been a direct hit with the claimed caliber.
