Ballistics Presentation Conclusions Slide
What This Image Shows
A screen capture from a video presentation. A slide headed "Conclusions" fills a blue-teal gradient background, with a picture-in-picture inset of a speaker holding a rifle cartridge at frame right.
The slide reads: "1. A neck muscle-only trajectory for a .30-06 would have been through-and-through. EXTREMELY HIGH CONFIDENCE. 2. There's virtually no chance that a neck bone involved trajectory would have stopped a .30-06. HIGH CONFIDENCE. 3. The gel-block shots recreate Kirk's shirt movements and necklace breaking almost perfectly. HIGH CONFIDENCE that a supersonic, high energy rifle round killed Charlie Kirk. 4. The audio data we have from 9/10/25 is fully supportive of a supersonic round, almost certainly fired from a rifle. HIGH CONFIDENCE. 5. Hypothesis: to get a .30-06 round to stop in Charlie's body, as has been claimed, would require a very steep shot into his neck area. - Or, possibly, an exotic .30-06 round. 6. If Tyler Robinson's defense does not adopt this data, they are in on the fix."
This is the most rigorous counterweight in the cluster to the exploding-microphone theory: an independent analyst running gel-block tests and concluding a supersonic rifle round is what the physical evidence supports, while still finding the official account of a bullet stopping in the body implausible without a steep angle. The archive tracks both the bullet-in-neck material and the shirt movement analysis, and this slide cuts across them. Item 6 is the presenter's opinion, not a finding. See Gun and Bullet, Cause of Death and The Mic.
