Love it.
Don't believe it. But love it. keep going!
Bro, or sis, it's absolutely true. A 30 ought six can shoot through a half inch of steel at that range. This has been demonstrated by the gun enthusiasts online. They shot all manner of objects, chunks of beef, steel plate, you name it, to demonstrate.
These rifles kill moose, elk, bear, from a distance. They have a serious foot per second to them. Like military rifles, but with a bigger caliber.
As with the other points. It's true, the story is bs. It's undeniably true.
I've shoot dozens of deer with a 30.06, and they also don't explode if you hit them in the neck. The round will pass through something that soft at that range without expanding or tumbling, retaining most of its energy instead of transferring it to the target - especially if you're using an FMJ or match round that's not designed to expand.
It's actually one of the reasons it's kinda fallen out of style for hunting. Despite its muzzle energy, it's not a particularly precise or effective as a hunting round versus a more modern cartridge. Something like a 6.5 Creedmoor will use less powder to shoot a smaller projectile more precisely and transfer more energy to the target.
The gun enthusiasts beg to differ, and have videos to prove it. There are always people to defend the establishment online, and they aren't always sincere. I am referring to you.
Dude - I am a gun enthusiast. I have over 50 of them.
I have 3 different 30.06 rifles (Remington 700, Springfield M1903, and M1 Garand). I've killed animals with 30.06, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308, 44 mag, 7.62.54R, .270, .223, 9mm, .357 magnum, 10mm, 12-gauge, 20-gauge, .22 rimfire, and more. I know a thing or 2 about this shit.
Maybe it was just a crazy kid with a gun. Maybe not go all molten steel beams on this one.
Maybe you are denying reality because parts of the right wing are pushing reality for a change on this one.
You seem very sure.
I am very sure, positive, the story is bullshit x3.
That the kid did it?
No. I am positive that others are The Architects of this. I like many others suspect Israel and their factions, because reasons. Including Kirk rejecting their board pricks, yes that's not a typo, rejecting their vision for his own not that he's a good guy he's a piece of shit obviously. They wanted to turn this into a Nazi youth Organization, and to police schools. Which it turns out is what they are doing now.
I am all for waiting until the evidence is presented and not a lot of conjecture and nebulous rabbit holes. It just sounds very tinfoiley.
Ha ha, ok wait for the evidence as our system is so trustworthy.
