They don't happen "all the time" i've seen a handful across several years of uspsa matches weekly, including state and area matches. I've shot the barrels lot of several blocks and several sets of gas runs and barrels in AR's. I've shot more rounds than most ever will at 30k 9mm a year for several years.
A $1500 Dillon press has a low powder alarm. Automated machines have many more failsafes. It happens, but not often.
Tire blowouts don't happen "all the time" either, but you would be ridiculous to insist they don't happen. Certainly not often enough to warrant having a spare tire and knowledge of how to change it. One man's experience is not the world.
Refer to my answer below to 336HoursToGo and the link to an exposition on dud rounds. Read and learn. Dud rounds happen despite all the measures taken to prevent them. "Not often" means "it happens." (People here have the thoroughly mistaken idea that "improbable" means "impossible.")
The bullet fragments were identified to be identical with a known production .30-'06 round. That's also what the rifle was chambered for. So, yeah, that's what it was.
For starters, you're the one that said they happen "all the time." They don't.
Secondly, squibs block barrels and often result in catastrophic failures with the subsequent attempt if not caught, which retard surely didn't have the ability to rectify with his screwdriver.
Third, .30 caliber(7.62) projectiles are used in so many cartridges its not funny. .300blk, .308, .30-06, 7.62x39, x54, 7.62 nato, a billion different 300 magnum cartridges.
That twink didn't tote a nearly 4 foot long, 9 pound mauser to a roof concealed, or disassemble it and reassemble it.
A 147g ball round from a 30-06 carries 19-24" of penetration depth. That increases to north of 30" with heavier rounds such as a 180 due to the increased mass the tissue has to deceleration.
30 06 is devastating to bone and tissue and Charlie's neck wasn't of sufficient size to even contain the temporary wound channel of the hydraulic displacement that north of two thousand footpounds of energy dump would cause. He didn't possess enough spine to stop said round at anything remotely close to typical muzzle velocity.
I don't give a flying fuck what "they" said it was, it wasn't a 30.06 and everybody who has ever shot anything with one knows it wasn't.
They don't have to convince us, only others like you who will swallow and regurgitate whatever slop they peddle.
Of course they happen "all the time". In a nation of 350 million people, how many times a year do you suppose it happens, to be something that is always mentioned in firearms training, and made the example of safety consideration? Just as blown tires happen "all the time." Not to each of us, weeky; that would be an absurd reading. But often enough that they are a fact of life. All you are trying to do is claim that something which is rare is actually impossible. That would not be accepted as an argument in 3rd grade.
And I'm not talking about squibs, which are at the bottom end of the spectrum.
There was no mystery about identification of the kind of cartridge. I have read that the fragments were identified as to manufacturer and type. It was a soft-nose, core-locked construction. This was examined by a forensic ballistician. You are not in that category.
You are not clairvoyant and cannot prove he didn't do anything. They have photo evidence that he was on the scene and acting.
Again, you are avoiding the possibility of a reduced powder load that could have lowered the muzzle velocity by a factor of two, making it more like a pistol bullet in resulting momentum. The obvious fact of the whole scenario is that the bullet that hit Charlie did not have 2000 foot-pounds of energy.
I've shot .30-'06 in a Garand M1. Stout recoil. Full powder load, however. I was also a member of the International Wound Ballistics Association (IWBA), which was formed to dispel the nonsense that was appearing in public discussion about wound ballistics.
Apparently you are unconvincible, when confronted with an explanation that explains the effects of the scenario.
"Soft nosed core locked" means dick as to which type of cartridge. Soft point bonded bullets are available for literally every caliber that uses jacketed bullets. If you'd like to narrow it down specifically to 30 caliber Remington "core-lokt", $29 will get you 100 of them that have never been seated into any cartridge and can be loaded into every cartridge I listed previously and no ballistician is going to tell you from fragments what cartridge that projectile was loaded into.
Couldn't give two flying fucks what the narrative is or claims is was.
The official statements were also that coof occurred organically from a wet market, the vax was safe, Cobain killed himself, Oswald killed JFK, pizzagate was debunked and a 65 year old man toted hundreds of pounds of arms through a hotel lobby unnoticed and removed an 800lb window.
You're right, im not clairvoyant but I do have eyeballs and can watch the video and clearly note the absence of a rifle that nears four feet and 9 pounds.
You might want to get yours checked though. Clown.
