Oddbean new post about login | logout Did it sound like a real gun? I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject
Yes. Definitely pop from an AR 15.
Its sounded like a .22 to me, but its hard to tell having not been there, also the way people described the sound reminds me of a .22
22's don't normally blow dudes heads open. Brain matter on the bleachers.
I didn't see photo of person in crowd just the blood on the bleachers
Interview with doctor at scene said dudes brains were blown out
And a .22 would be the last gun I'd bring to an assassination.
Could be a higher powered rifle, just didn't have a loud noise on the videos I saw, also I'm not sure the proximity of the shooter and idk whether or not a suppressor was used. A high powered rifle even at quite a distance usually is immediately recognizable as nothing other than gunfire
They said they found an AR. Mics are directional and have features to clip loudness. Shot was from 152 yards.
OK, thanks for the info, do you know what optics the shooter was using?
