Yeah. I think I just don't understand the description very well.
From the video I saw originally it appeared consistent that a bullet had passed past trump & crowd a d struck a hydraulic line causing the rupture.
I don't know enough about hydraulic lines to know how resistant they would be to a bullet, and I don't know what rounds were fired either. Tough to have a valid opinion on this one.
.223 rounds have a lead core, yes. Every one of them I’ve ever shot or seen is fully jacketed. I’ve shot .223 through 1/4” steel plates at the range. Close range I confess. But a small round, jacketed, with a high velocity can penetrate steel. I guess it just depends on thickness etc etc.
That was my assumption also.
Edit: X OP mentioned "Leak is opposite the shooter cylinder is steel, bullet is lead." - so maybe not possible?
Bullets of most any caliber and construction will easily penetrate a hydraulic line at that distance.

Me neither, and since nobody has asked the tweeter about it maybe being a line punctured, I have posed that question in response to his tweet.
You fail to consider physics.
