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.
If the picture is to be believed, this is an actual Mauser, in .30-06 (not a Springfield). This means it was made for the consumer market, or if it is actually a military Mauser it was rebarreled into .30-06 (no military Mausers were made in .30-06). So it's probably a Parker-Hale or something like that from the 1970s, etc.
.30-06 will blow an arm off the torso of a human, with "ball ammo" (FMJ = Full Metal Jacket). An exit wound, with .30-06 FMJ, is like 99.9999% _guaranteed_, on a human's neck.
If instead this caliber was truly used and a _modern version_ of .30-06 was used (like a "soft point" or a "HPBT" [Hollow Point Boat Tail]), the cavitation inside the body when the round pierced the skin would have been _massive_. And, an exit wound would be 99.99% likely.
Nothing about the story, as told, makes sense.
Aside from trannies and tranny sympathizers being murderous homosexuals, nothing does make sense about the whole story.
