I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about firearms and ammo. In the 90’s I did quite a bit of testing in North Carolina, shooting pig skulls exc.then examining them in the lab. My guess is the ammo used by Capital Police is something like the +P Hydra-shok. I am saying right now that if Ashley Babbit what shot with a round like that at ten feet, it would have been a bloody gore festival. Given where she was shot in the neck, I don’t see how the round would not have penetrated through exiting out the back. She was moving afterwards so the round didn’t hit her spine. Very weird.
I thought the same thing. The only possible conclusion I came to was that they were shooting FMJ and it was extremely clean entry and then got routed down into her abdomen or something.
99% of the time, when someone gets hit in the neck, it’s a horror show. If they were shooting any type of frangible or hollow point ammo, I would expect a fairly gruesome injury. But we didn’t see that.
Bullets do weird shit. They may have been using FMJ. Potentially that could explain it.
Feds even train with jhp’s, I imagine the Capital Police does also. I couldn’t imagine his firearm loaded with fmj. I figured it was a production to incite the crowd to violence.
Watch the video. Decent ammo, 9 mm or 40sw won't give you that muzzle flash ( Shitty russian tulammo might, but feds wouldn't use that crap).
Those were blanks. Blanks give you wicked muzzle flash
Excellent insight, agree completely. Bloody gore festival is spot on. I think the shooting was fake but I don’t know who the woman in this video is. Doesn’t seem likely Ashli.

I’ve always thought it looked scripted
