Are They LYING About The Charlie Kirk Assassination? (.30-06 Ballistics Test)

By 1ShotTV

Summary

## Key takeaways - **Official Story: .30-06 Stopped in Neck**: Someone fired a .30-06 from a rooftop 142 yards away; it hit the neck, penetrated to the vertebrae at C6 or C7, curved down, stopped with no exit wound. [02:08], [02:26] - **Ballistic Dummy Neck Obliterated**: 150 grain Hornady Ballistic Tip blew through the neck, shattered vertebrae, penetrated two water jugs, leaving fragments but mostly exiting. [08:16], [09:44] - **Full Metal Jacket Shatters Spine**: 150 grain FMJ .30-06 missed bone first shot but second shot destroyed remaining vertebrae completely, scattering fragments everywhere with massive exit cavity. [12:24], [13:19] - **Head Shot Produces Blue Mist**: Same 150 grain Hornady turned ballistic dummy head into a canoe, yeetated brain, painted table and ground blue with gel mist. [14:28], [15:12] - **Bullet Type Unknown, Key Factor**: Ammo details unknown; lightweight hollow points like 150 grain Ballistic Tip penetrate less, heavy FMJs more, explaining potential variability. [04:01], [05:33] - **Extremely Unlikely But Possible**: .30-06 stopping in neck is less than 1% chance, extremely unlikely, but rifle rounds do weird unpredictable things like curving along bones. [15:44], [03:13]

What's going on everybody? Welcome back.

Thank you for watching. Today we are finally going to do a video I've been putting off for a while. If you watch the video, I'm [snorts] sure you assumed that this was inevitably going to happen sooner or later. And yes, today we are

finally going to test the 30 6 versus a human neck. Now, the elephant in the

human neck. Now, the elephant in the room is obviously this is what happened to Charlie Kirk. Um, right after the tragedy, I made a couple videos on it and I told you guys it was too recent. I

didn't want to use ballistic dummies or nothing like that. So, we shot pork shoulders, meat, and bone, and um every target that we shot, the result was exactly what most of us expected. The

300 6 just annihilated everything because it is a very powerful ramp.

Well, a lot of time has passed since this event. I would say the water has

this event. I would say the water has gotten even muddier. The narratives are all over the place. And at this point it seems like almost nobody is believing the official story. So today we are

finally going to do probably the one and only test that's really going to prove this one way or another. And we are going to use a ballistic dummy lab human bust. Now if you're not familiar with

bust. Now if you're not familiar with the human bust, it is the head, neck shoulders. The only reason that I've

shoulders. The only reason that I've decided to do this particular test is because in the necks of these ballistic dummies, there is no fluid or nothing

that is even going to remotely resemble a realistic gunshot. But it does have exactly everything we need to do this test accurately. Tissue or ballistics

test accurately. Tissue or ballistics gel and then it has the neckbone and the vertebrae. That is allegedly what

vertebrae. That is allegedly what stopped this bullet. And if you look at it from the back, you can see how anatomically correct these ballistic dummies really are. It's got like all of

the vertebrae even, you know, separated.

Um, and in previous videos I've pointed out that the bones on these dummies are very realistic. So, I want to try to

very realistic. So, I want to try to separate the Charlie Kirk thing from this video, but still do the test. I

mean, obviously, the entire premise of this video is that shot, but I feel like this is by far the most scientific way that we could test this shot. Plus

we've done like JFK recreations with these, and that was far worse, let's be honest. So, it's just science.

honest. So, it's just science.

Ballistics gel. Can a human neck actually stop a 300 6? So, the official story on what happened that day is someone fired a 300 6 from a rooftop 142 yards away. It hit the neck, penetrated

yards away. It hit the neck, penetrated to the vertebrae, curved down, and I think it made it to like the C6 or C7 before it eventually came to a stop. And

that's where the doctor recovered the bullet from. There was no exit wound.

bullet from. There was no exit wound.

And that is why everyone is freaking out. And basically, the entire world is

out. And basically, the entire world is no longer buying this official narrative because the 30 6, which we have here, is a very powerful rifle round, which is not known for stopping in targets like

that. A few inches of flesh, a thick

that. A few inches of flesh, a thick bone. Most of the time you're going to

bone. Most of the time you're going to have an exit hole. Now, after reading all the comments and stuff online, I think I might be one of the only people left on the entire planet that does not have a hard opinion on this either way.

Obviously, I don't think it's the likely result, but I also don't think it's impossible. I really don't. I have shot

impossible. I really don't. I have shot so many targets with so many different rifles. I've seen some of the weirdest

rifles. I've seen some of the weirdest stuff you can imagine. And bullets

especially rifle rounds, are extremely unpredictable. They flip in targets.

unpredictable. They flip in targets.

They curve, exit [snorts] in opposite directions. You just never know what a

directions. You just never know what a rifle round is going to do. So, I think it's a very, very low percentage chance of having something like this happen but I honestly don't think it's

impossible. Now, I think everyone lost

impossible. Now, I think everyone lost trust when they first came out and said it stopped in the neck. They made it sound like it just stopped in 2 in of flesh, which obviously would be impossible. Then it came out, it did

impossible. Then it came out, it did penetrate to the spine, hit bone, curved down, and actually traveled quite a bit further before it eventually came to a stop. And that is how rifle rounds often

stop. And that is how rifle rounds often perform. You can look up stories of

perform. You can look up stories of people getting shot in the thigh and it comes out by their foot. They do tend to like ride along bones and do weird stuff like that. We also don't know exactly

like that. We also don't know exactly what kind of round was used. So, if it was a lightweight hollow point, that's going to dramatically increase your chances of the bullet stopping in the target, whereas a heavy full metal

jacket is more likely going to overpenetrate. So, we just don't know

overpenetrate. So, we just don't know any of those details. Um, that being said, I completely understand why people are skeptical. I'm skeptical. I'm just

are skeptical. I'm skeptical. I'm just

not in the camp that thinks it's 100% impossible. I've seen rifle rounds do

impossible. I've seen rifle rounds do weird things. So, we're gonna test this

weird things. So, we're gonna test this today. 300 6 versus ballistic dummy

today. 300 6 versus ballistic dummy neck. I'm kind of hoping that we'll get

neck. I'm kind of hoping that we'll get an interesting result and maybe put it into perspective that, you know, not all rifle shots are created equal. I'm not

optimistic. I have a feeling what's going to happen is exactly what we all think is going to happen. And it's just going to kind of prove, you know, the people that don't believe the story right? Which I'm fine with. I have no

right? Which I'm fine with. I have no skin in the game either way. Again, I'm

also very skeptical. I don't trust anybody, especially when it comes to these mainstream narratives. Um, but we do gun science here, so we're going to test it. And maybe we'll get this bullet

test it. And maybe we'll get this bullet to stop in the neck. Who knows? That

would, be, crazy., All right,, guys., We, have a couple different rounds we could use for this test. There is like a thousand 30 sixes out there. And that's one reason why I wasn't ready to just jump in doubting the story right away because

we don't even know what kind of ammo was used. It could literally be anything.

used. It could literally be anything.

So, the first one we have is the [snorts] 180 grain full metal jacket ball round.

This is one of the most common 30 sixes out there. This and the 150 grain. If

out there. This and the 150 grain. If

you go to a gun shop and just ask for 300 6 ammo, this is probably what they'll give you. If I had to guess, I would honestly say he probably used something like this just because it is

the most common round out there. The

second one that we have is a lot more interesting. This is the 150 grain

interesting. This is the 150 grain Hornady Ballistic Tip. I actually bought this one specifically for this test just to give us the highest chance of something stopping in the target. I'd be

surprised if he used something like this, but [snorts] I guess you never really know. So, the general rule of

really know. So, the general rule of thumb with rifle rounds is the heavier the bullet, the more it's going to penetrate. Lighter weight rounds

penetrate. Lighter weight rounds penetrate less. And the full metal

penetrate less. And the full metal jacket ball round should also penetrate more than a hollow point or a ballistic tip or something like that. Obviously

those are not concrete rules. There are

exceptions. I do think the ball round might be more likely to like yaw and tumble and, you know, dip down in a weird direction. Um, but we've shot

weird direction. Um, but we've shot nothing but these ball rounds in the past two videos that we've done on this caliber., So,, we're, going to, change, it, up

caliber., So,, we're, going to, change, it, up and we'll try the 150 grain Hornady. I

have a feeling we're not going to get more than one shot at this. So

hopefully we get an interesting result.

Okay, this is how we're going to set this one up. I have our ballistic dummy bust on a table in the front. I do have it slightly angled so we can hit the target that we're aiming for. Behind it

I have three 5gallon water jugs just in case the bullet overpenetrates. Maybe

we'll get lucky and actually capture it.

And then what I'm going to do is pull my truck back here and try to use the roof to get a slight downward angle on the target just like it was in real life.

Unfortunately for this video, I'm not going to be able to take the shot at 140 yards. I got too many cameras to

yards. I got too many cameras to operate. Um, I did do that in our first

operate. Um, I did do that in our first video though. If you want to see it

video though. If you want to see it I'll link it right here. I just wanted to show you how easy it was and how close that actually is with this caliber. Trust me, it's a chip shot.

caliber. Trust me, it's a chip shot.

There's going to be almost no difference between 30 or 40 and 140. It's a

thousand yard gun. So, we might be gaining a few feet per second, but ultimately the result will be very similar., All right,, guys., We, are, in, the

similar., All right,, guys., We, are, in, the bed of my truck. I apologize if the camera's a little shaky. I've got our ballistic dummy on the table, probably 40 yards away. I'm gonna use a book bag on the roof of my truck and the bipod on

the rifle so we can get a good elevated shooting position and try to hit this thing at a downward angle. We got our 150 grain bullet. I'll be shocked if this is actually what was used.

Obviously, we don't know. What I do know is in our last video, a 306 ball round blew through 20 lbs of meat and two beef femur bones. So, those are not easy to

femur bones. So, those are not easy to stop. I'm hoping this one will give us a

stop. I'm hoping this one will give us a slightly different result. And I'm going to aim towards the front left of our ballistic dummy neck. 45 degree angle.

And we are shooting slightly downward as well. So I also have to hit the

well. So I also have to hit the vertebrae because that's allegedly what redirected this bullet.

Well, we definitely penetrated our water jugs. And I don't think this is going to

jugs. And I don't think this is going to help to stop the conspiracy theories.

His head fell off.

All right, guys. I figured this is probably what would happen. I was trying to remain optimistic, but that right there is why people are skeptical on the official story. The 300 6 is a very hard

official story. The 300 6 is a very hard round to stop. So, we actually lost the top half of the vertebrae right there.

And you can see the bullet hole going straight through it. So, I imagine it was probably connected like that. and it

just took a massive chunk right out of it. It also shifted the entire thing a

it. It also shifted the entire thing a little bit to the right. And then you can see the wound cavity in the ballistic shell right there. I'm looking for fragments.

right there. I'm looking for fragments.

I don't see much. Actually, there is there is

see much. Actually, there is there is some. Yeah. So, right there. I don't

some. Yeah. So, right there. I don't

know if, you, guys, can, see., There, are, a few bullet fragments in there. Of

course, the majority of it did pass all the way through and hit our water jugs.

It looks like we have bullet holes in two water jugs. So, I assume it came out in a couple different pieces. Um, this

one really got hit. There's also a bullet fragment in that water jug.

Probably hear it. And then in our second 5gallon jug, we have an exit hole. There

we have a big piece of the bullet.

in this one though. I'm going to try to dig that out. And there it is. That's a

pretty big piece of our bullet right there. We have another piece in this

there. We have another piece in this one. And then I assume the rest of it

one. And then I assume the rest of it just passed through. But we did stop the majority of that bullet in the water jugs right behind it. So now one thing I do want to say is we know how realistic the bones are in these ballistic

dummies. We've proven it time and time

dummies. We've proven it time and time again in a million videos. They usually

react exactly like you would expect and they stop a lot of calibers. One caveat

I do want to give is I would imagine on a real human spine. There's a lot of muscles and tendons and discs and I mean that's what supports the whole human body. So I would imagine a real spinal

body. So I would imagine a real spinal cord is probably a little tougher than one of these. But I mean you can see how thick that bone is. And they do even

have like simulated spinal cord rods running through there as well. So, this

is the thickest bone in the ballistic dummy and it was no match for the 30 6.

Now, I also want to say I think the ballistics gel in front of the spinal cord on these ballistic dummies is probably tougher and denser than a real human neck. If you relax and just push

human neck. If you relax and just push on your neck, it's extremely soft and it wouldn't do anything to slow down a bullet. The ballistic gel on these is

bullet. The ballistic gel on these is you know, pretty firm and you can see the damage that we have before it even got to the bone. So, that being said, I

don't think any of it matters.

Obviously, the 300 6 just blew right through this thing. Broke the neck in half, penetrated the water jugs that were behind it and passed all the way through those. So, it didn't even come

through those. So, it didn't even come close to stopping that bullet. Okay

before we get out of here, we are going to shoot the head, don't worry. But, we

still have the bottom half, maybe the bottom third of that spinal bone left.

And I want to try to hit it with just a regular full metal jacket lead ball round. Now, this is a 150 grain bullet

round. Now, this is a 150 grain bullet so it is a lightweight 300 6. You can

see the box right there. 150 grains

3,000 ft per second. This is just straight up target ammo. And like I said, I have a feeling this is probably more similar to what was actually used but a lot of people have already been

testing these, and it's not looking good for the official narrative. I'll just

put it that way. So, let's see if we can stop it. Now, I did zero this rifle for

stop it. Now, I did zero this rifle for the other ammo that we shot. So

hopefully we're not too far off. They're

the same bullet weight. We should be able to hit it dude. Well, that was insane.

dude. Well, that was insane.

I don't even know if it hit the bone to be honest with you. Yeah, the point of impact was a little bit higher on that one. So, we didn't even hit the bone.

one. So, we didn't even hit the bone.

We'll try it one more time.

Well, the fact that I saw the spinal bone fly up in the air and then I heard bone fragments landing on the table, it's not a good sign.

And there's the entrance hole from our full metal jacket 300 6. That's actually

really cool. You can see where the bullet went in and then the wound cavity start to appear a couple inches into that ballistic shell. At least I can. I

hope you guys can on camera as well.

There is no vertebrae left. It's

completely gone. You can see the exit hole on the back of this thing. Good

grief dude.

Literally like the size of a bowling ball. And then, like I said, we just

ball. And then, like I said, we just have pieces of that spine all over the place. There's one there. We got another

place. There's one there. We got another one there. We got a bunch of them on the

one there. We got a bunch of them on the ground.

It literally broke it into several pieces.

And we got bone fragments all the way back here, too. So

I don't think it stopped it. [laughter]

So, I'll just reiterate what I said after the last one. This is not 100% realistic, obviously, but it is the closest thing we got. And both of those blew right through no problem at all.

Okay, this is the moment I've been waiting for. I'm not going to lie. Our

waiting for. I'm not going to lie. Our

ballistic dummy head is no longer attached to the shoulders. So, I've got it in a cinder block propped up on the table about as good as I can get it. For

this one, we are going to use the 150 grain Hornady. Let's see how effective a

grain Hornady. Let's see how effective a 300 6 actually is.

Wow.

The mist, dude. I hope you guys could see that on camera. You probably

couldn't. When I took the shot and stood up, the air was just filled with a blue mist. [laughter]

mist. [laughter] I think that was a good hit.

All right, we got bone fragments all over the ground. The table is completely

the ground. The table is completely painted blue. That should tell you all

painted blue. That should tell you all you need to know. Actually, I don't know if you can see it, but the ground is painted blue. So, [snorts] that was a

painted blue. So, [snorts] that was a pretty dramatic result. If we go over here, the brain got yeetated onto the ground and our ballistic dummy head is

literally a canoe. You see the entrance hole right there? I'm not going to touch it cuz it'll stain my gloves. But yeah

you could hop in there and float down a river. All right, guys. There you go. I

river. All right, guys. There you go. I

hope y'all enjoyed it. I think I've said pretty much everything I need to say in this one. I will reiterate what I said

this one. I will reiterate what I said earlier. I fully agree. A 306 stopping

earlier. I fully agree. A 306 stopping in the body, especially the neck is extremely unlikely, but I still don't think it's impossible. We don't even know what kind of bullet was used yet.

So, it's hard to say for sure that they're lying about that. I would give it like less than a 1% chance. Very

unlikely, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. And just to be clear, I'm

impossible. And just to be clear, I'm not saying that they're not lying or there aren't inconsistencies in this story. There clearly are. But as far as

story. There clearly are. But as far as the caliber debate itself, um I don't think it's completely impossible. I

think it's extremely unlikely. I'll go

ahead and quickly tell you my thought process on this. You can call me naive whatever you want to say, but if this was a planned assassination, you know name a foreign country, government agency, whatever. Why would they lie

agency, whatever. Why would they lie about the caliber? Like, if they planned the entire thing, why not just plant the correct rifle on the pathy that you've chosen and then say that was the caliber

that was used? Why claim it was a 306 if it wasn't? And I get it. They've done

it wasn't? And I get it. They've done

crazier stuff than that in the past. So

I'm not putting it past them, but it just seems like an unnecessary thing to add into an already controversial event that's going to be under scrutiny by everyone. And I'll reiterate, let's say

everyone. And I'll reiterate, let's say it was a 5.56. That's still an unusual result. Like, I don't think people would

result. Like, I don't think people would believe that either because nine times out of 10, a 5.56 is not stopping in the neck either. So, I don't know. I could

neck either. So, I don't know. I could

be naive. Um, I just think it was like a freak incident that would only happen one in a million times. And [snorts] for obvious reasons, people are not buying

it. I fully get it. I'm not like buying

it. I fully get it. I'm not like buying it. I just don't know one way or the

it. I just don't know one way or the other. I'm not saying it's impossible.

other. I'm not saying it's impossible.

So, that's where I stand on it. Either

way, I hope y'all enjoyed the test. I

don't think this is going to help anything, but the results are what they are. I'm just here to show it. So, hope

are. I'm just here to show it. So, hope

y'all enjoyed the video. If you did, let me know down in the comments below. As
