Its obvious that .30-06 would have blown a big hole through his neck but there wasn't even an exit wound on the back of his neck according to Candace Owens who saw the video from behind.
Some say it was a flechette or .22lr round from close range.
What seems exceedingly strange to me is that there were dozens of cameras filming the event and not a single one captured a projectile flying through the air.
Something here seems fake and gay. Either the whole thing was staged or they used some advanced direct energy weapon to punch a hole through his neck. Since there is literally no reason to employ advanced Intel agency tech to assassinate this guy, I'm starting to think that this whole thing was faked and Kirk is still alive.
.22's make a cracking, high-pitched sound. It's really not that loud. 5.56 are much louder and have a "boom" along with the crack. 30-06 are very much more "boom" and less "crack". Also, it doesn't "thud" when it hits, it explodes.
It was NOT a 30-06, and anyone who has practiced will be able to say positively the same.
