Facial Radius Analysis at 120 Degrees
What This Image Shows
A reconstruction graphic from the same independent analyst as the other numbered impact-location sheets in this cluster. Three-dimensional skull and neck models sit alongside a compass wheel marked at thirty-degree intervals from 0 through 330, with red lines and glowing red highlights tracing a path. The header reads IMPACT LOCATION 120 degrees with the subheading FACIAL RADIUS, and a photographic inset at the upper right is captioned EXIT WOUND EJECTION. The watermark reads @MrDiscordeous, Justin Ruh, 2025.
The method is to treat the head as a sphere and express the impact point as a bearing on it, then convert that bearing into a direction of fire once the head's orientation at that instant is known. The 120-degree figure on this sheet and the 157-degree figure on the companion sheets are different measurements of the same reconstruction taken on different radii — facial and top — not competing conclusions.
The inset is where the argument gets contestable: identifying ejection direction from compressed public video is an interpretation, and the analyst labels it as such. Read this sheet alongside the 157-degree top radius sheet and the aerial impact map. The mainstream and alternative readings of the wound are at Wound Trajectory Angle and Trajectory and Wound Mismatch.
