Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.
NEW: This community is a place to mock MAGA, Neo-Fascism, Trump, and all the people grifting the USA and/or trying to ruin it.
Of course you can still mock Charlie, his big head, tiny face, and his inability to be honest in life and his arguments.

I would argue that a 150 grain 30-06 could do something like this. That's a pretty popular deer hunting round, and I don't know that it would go through a vertebrae. Certainly wouldn't almost decapitate him. 220 grain would probably exit I think, but again it wouldn't almost decapitate him. There really isn't enough in the neck to go flying everywhere.
That's just me guessing from decades of hunting deer, elk, and bear with a 30-06. I don't do neck shots though.

heres a 30-06 hitting a ballistic gel head with skull inside it.
blows the thing completely apart.
if it hit him in the neck, it would have blown a massive chunk out. at minimum.
Nah, those ballistic gels aren't a good analog for that kind of experiment. They blow apart too easy.
I've drilled high-quality, 3/8" steel plates with 30.06. Can't say how many grains, but it looked like it was drill pressed.
There's a lot of stink around what the FBI has said, but I watched some frame-by-frame shots and his throat clearly expands, big time. Wasn't a .22, but I still can't believe a 30.06, of any load, wouldn't tear him up far worse. I'll defer to your hunting experience, all I've done is target shoot.
