Alternative Calibers & Weapons
If the Mauser .30-06 / Losee rooftop chain fails on ATF match, energy, or trajectory, investigators propose closer, lower-energy, or non-rifle mechanisms. This page summarizes attributed theories — not adjudicated facts.
1. Israeli CornerShot 9mm +P (tent / van)
@ProjectConstitu and Dr. Chris Martenson threads (see @stevendenoon YouTube: zeioeWdmSIw) propose:
| Element | Claim |
|---|---|
| Weapon | CornerShot-style hinged system with screen aim |
| Caliber | 9mm +P (~1330 fps) |
| Origin | Inside tent or grey van tunnel (IR laser on Frank Turek phone) |
| Wound signature | Cavitation, necklace snap, pugilist posture, energy dumped internally |
| Casing | Shell ejected downward near tent — cited in tent-shooter threads |

2. Suppressed high-velocity small-bore
Some audio analyses argue the crack-thump pattern fits suppressed .22-250-class velocity more than a distant .30-06 boom — overlapping Mic acoustics and @troofevades placement claims. A breakdown cited in the investigation file (Red Randumb Ruminations on YouTube) describes the report as a "flack-thump" from 100–200 yards, consistent with a high-velocity snap from a suppressed small-bore rifle rather than a "thunderous .30-06 boom" or "rooftop roar." The same thread argues the wound signature — small, clean, bullet-sized entry with a massive cavitation exit — fits hollow-point or Hydra-Shok rounds that mushroom on impact, and compares the T1 neck fragment to deer-hunt bullets that embed under the skin after long flight. These are attributed audio/terminal-ballistics interpretations, not lab conclusions.
3. Shaped charge — mic, pendant, or crucifix
Parallel non-bullet hypotheses (detailed on Mic, not fully duplicated here):
- PETN micro-charge in RØDE Wireless PRO transmitter / magnetic clasp
- Crucifix pendant micro shaped charge — military commentator "cone charge" math in CK file
- Candace Owens: shaped charge intended for chest, malfunctioned up into neck
Skeptic counter: large shaped-charge demos produce visible smoke signatures — see Mic shape-charge demo.
4. "No shot from Losee" lane
Some analysts state no credible footage shows a shot fired from Losee because no rifle shot occurred there — the rooftop figure and recovered Mauser are patsy props in that framing. That is maximal skepticism of the official weapon location, distinct from [alternative caliber] only.
Hollow-point / T1 fragment analogy
Deer-hunt and Hydra-Shok analogies in commentary argue the T1 neck fragment behaves like a mushrooming handgun bullet embedding under skin — not a full-power .30-06 pass-through.
