11:10 actually kinda hilarious, garand thumb and demo ranch proved a couple years ago that shooting an ear with a 50 call will not destroy the head, the damage will actually look very similar to the 5.56. this is cos yes while every round is meant to have insane wound cavities, there needs to be a certain amount of mass they go through before they start tumbling and expanding inside said target. you can see in a lot of ballistics gel test that the first inch or two of the cavity is super thin because while the energy transfer is there, the round only starts expanding and tumbling after it has gone through enough mass to adversely damage and slow down the bullet. theres a lot more that goes in like what the ear is made out of that affects how it reacts, but the biggest is definitely mass to transfer energy to.
Basically, the bullet is moving so fast physics has to catch up to it and start to act. This is why entrance wounds are typically smaller than exit wounds.
Well, it's really both. It's also publicly divided the muh-demokrasee flying monkeys into the "I'm glad literally-Hitler is okay" camp and the "Trump must die lest the people vote for him" camp.

About the bandage size, 6 weeks ago I had a surgery to replace my shoulder, when I came out of surgery, they had applied a huge dressing to the area. This was to absorb any bleeding, and provide padding to the injured area. A week after during the follow up visit the nurse replaced the dressing with a much smaller bandage, where I could see the small amount of blood seepage off the original dressing. The next visit, they removed the smaller dressing leaving just the surgical tape over the stitches.
People complaining about the bandage would complain if he came out showing the wound, because, "he's just trying to get sympathy points" their TDS is terminal.
@@Arvieelles Absolutely! He, as well as those seriously injured, were beloved family members to somebody.😔 Sadly these days, people are all too willing to have a laugh at the victims' expense, or totally ignore their losses.😕
Ballistics gel doesn't simulate anything, muscle or cartilage. It's whole purpose is to serve as a consistent medium for comparitive testing between calibers, rounds, etc. Not to simulate what the rounds will actually do when actually hitting a person.
The interesting part is that the police probably did stop the assasination, even though the failed to stop the shooter before he took his shots. The officer that climbed up on the roof distracted the shooter. The shooter had to take a quick shot before being taken down.
A couple of things. First the fact that they weren’t covering that building had nothing to do with it being private property and everything to do with gross incompetence on the part of the secret service. Second the ballistics as it pertains to how much it will expand are completely irrelevant when you’re hitting an earlobe which has about the thickness and resistance of a of a sheet of cardboard. The round isn’t going to expand and if it does, it would be minimal. Even a .50 BMG is likely just going to remove part of the ear. There just isn’t enough depth to the ear lobe for most rounds to do any significant amount of expansion.
Additionally, that argument is semantics anyways. Whether his ear got clipped by a bullet, some shard of glass from somewhere, metal spawling from his magic pocket watch, the pertinent issue is HE GOT SHOT AT.

Oh it was real... and not staged by Trump. ANY other thoughts and your just not familiar with any weapons and should have joined the military or Maybe go to the range and try to hit an ear as it moves from that distance. Like this video just said. SEMPER FI!

Everyone forgets there’s and equal and opposite reaction you need mass to transfer energy there’s not enough mass in the cartilage of an ear to transfer. You can take the same mass hit to different areas and it will cause different reactions because of the different structures and there masses in those areas Also for anyone un aware that gel has a higher stretch than tissue would so the result is the worst case scenario being shown.
@@Grizzlox what the fuc* are your ret***** no an ear doesn’t have the mass or the stiffness from its density or fluid it would be the same in any altitude density of any fluid It would with that bullet do less damage underwater unless your using the special underwater sabots then it would still do the same or less
If I remember correctly, Accuracy International got their start by a couple Brits building a rifle in their garage to submit as a joke to the precision rifle program for the British military, and they accidentally won the contract.
Pretty much the fact that an ear is just a thin piece of cartilage can tell you that it’s not gonna leave a wound cavity. If the bullet was a FMJ or even a soft point, it’s flying straight through that ear. The most that happens is the ear alters the trajectory of the bullet.
On the "piece of glass" conspiracy theory, the only glass available would be the teleprompter, which was videoed as intact (both of them) as Trump was going to the vehicle afterwards.
But it wasn't just Trump who was slightly wounded by four other officers standing near him who were slightly wounded. Were all five slightly wounded by rifle bullets? Clearly the bullet struck something, teleprompter or something else, that produced a spray of fragments moving downrange, at a much lower speed, that produced minor wounds. If one of the five was actually nicked by the bullet, how do we know it was Trump? Why could it not have been one of the four officers?
Unfortunately, by resigning she gets to keep her pension despite the fact that, regardless of gender, she was an over-promoted Pepsi Co security head. It's so ridiculously disgraceful.
Accuracy International is a British company. They make the L118a1 (AWP from Counter Strike). They are top notch rifles that started as some friends making rifles in their garages in the UK back in the late 70s
Paul Harrell's breakdown of the FBI's 1986 Miami Dade Shootout is also worth a watch, it's highly informative. Paul Harrell in general is worth a watch.
The building he was on was some company, but there were no employees in that day, and law enforcement/Secret Service had full clearance to the building, including having one of their sniper teams INSIDE the building itself.
It was a command post for local law enforcement. In a video on Sky News Australia, they showed two US Representatives on the roof recently. In another part of the building complex, they had multiple windows with views of the roof that the dirt bag perched himself on. If they had only looked outside, they would have seen him.
@@MichaelScheele I don't think the issue was seeing him. More so actually doing something about it. Law Enforcement flagged him earlier as a POI, then they lost track of him, but plenty of attendees flagged him down and notified Law Enforcement about a suspicious person on the roof with a rifle, and there are reports of 2 officers trying to engage with him immediately before the shots were fired. So they were very much aware of his presence. It was a lack of action that caused all of it. Although that too isn't necessarily true as proven by the guy being followed and also engaged before the shooting. What I don't understand is how you're aware of a suspicious individual. You follow him, you lose him, then you find him again, and yet we still end up with 1 dead, multiple injured, including a a former President, and running Presidential Candidate.
Regardless, whether that building was on private property or not, the Secret Service has authority to go on that building and go anywhere it wants to to secure the president
Which is BS. I get that it's their job to protect the president, so do it where you don't need to invade someone's property. And yes, the land doesn't belong to them, it's privately owned. So it is an invasion. They should be required by law to get the property owner's permission first.
It's really unfortunate for the teleprompter conspiracy theorists that this was caught on video because both of the teleprompters that are made of glass are both completely intact. I watched this live and screen recorded it. Afterwards you can clearly see both teleprompters have been untouched.
His ear wouldn’t have had cavitation like on the dummy. The top part of the ear is mostly cartilage. It would’ve been more like a round going through a cardboard target, because there’s way less water content to expand.
The head of the secret service said that there was no secret service positioned on that roof because it was too steep.... so she put secret service inside of the building instead.
Liar liar pants on fire. Gov BS steeper were the snipers were placed. Kind of interesting the Sniper barely re-positioned to change aim to take him out. Brandon knows his gun stuff and DT got bloody lucky.
Clarifications others missed: the law enforcement was aware of him on the roof for 57 minutes before the [event]. They were aware of him as a [questionable] person who had used a [ranging device] on the stage for 3 hours, potentially more. Imo the only possible explanation is intentional failure by this point.
@@jimbo3 OK, so, I don't fully disagree. I think we need to heavily restructure the policing system & have some other issues, but that isn't really important here imo. That's pretty far from the prime subject. There's a distinction here between incompetence or cowardice & actual intentional negligence where something so horrible is just allowed to take place.
@@pubcle partly my grievence is an inequality in the streets. police are armed, people aren't. police ride with auto rifles in their car but other people can't. The balance of power feels oppressive. I am from a big city so that does bias my view (they flip on sirens, run a red light, go two blocks, turn it off then wait in traffic bc they had nowhere to go but wanted to use the little power they have). i think that police have been showing a more friendly face the last 2 years which is good. im not a radical, it just feels like the police are an invading force at time.
@@pubcleDon't give air time to the people alleging incompetence. As I pointed out to my buddy, "Your kid can use a radio (they love walkie talkies) they expect us to believe that nobody could call the stage and tell the secret service agents to move the President". That is not incompetence. Those people couldn't fry an egg without burns if they were cognitively at that level. I'm being serious. Any defense about incompetence being the full cause is suspect
Kimberly Cheatle resigned as the Director of the Secret Service this morning. She will still be subject to questioning by Congress even though she is no longer in charge.
She should also be brought up on charges for the one guy who died and the two who got injured for not having enough protection maybe charge her involuntary manslaughter or attempted murder
The "ar 15" is just a platform with thousands of different variants and configurations. A 800 dollar AR and an 8000 dollar AR are quite different and yet in many ways the same.
Trouble is, what is the simplest? In most of life, that is actually difficult to decide. In this case, the "Debate goes wrong and campaign is struggling then person who is friends with the people at the top suddenly can't do her job to protect the political opponent and an unprecedent lapse in security occurs" should probably be looked at with things like motive, in the mix

My favorite bit of misinformation to spread online is that "the 50 BMG is so powerful that even if you missed the target by an inch they would still be obliterated from the velocity of the round" it's so funny to tell this to people who know nothing about firearms. 🤣🤣
Being an American I know a lot of people that shoot 100-200 rounds a day on their personal ranges. Competition shooters and hunters. They aren’t even good enough to clip an ear at 150 yards. To say it was staged is absurd.
it wouldn't have that expansion on a real ear because of the cartilage in the ear, The ballistic gel simulates flesh not harder more durable material like cartilage.
As an american. The US is like that big brother that fights, deals drugs, steals. But they show up when you need them the most, usually with a gun, stolen money, and a bottle or two of liquor
Nope the secret service saw him well beforehand, they had even taken pictures of him which is the pic you saw in the video. The secret service were in the building whose windows looked onto that roof. They knew he was there, local law enforcement saw him on the roof with the rifle beforehand as well
Chris Williamson is a special forces guy who did an analysis on the shooting. He used actual live footage, areal drone footage from after, and 3D models to recreate the timeline. It's really fascinating what went wrong and what went right. You should watch his video!
The two guys from Ballistic High Speed have a great channel you could look through. The one guy got blown up a couple months back with a homemade rpg, it’s in full slow motion… maybe a react??
I think it's weird how people say it's the teleprompter glass, when's seconds after the shots rang out. One of the agents grabs the sides of the podium thing and moves it. Where was the glass?
Direct quote from the ROE of the Secret Service “All agents working under threat may not use firearms unless a shot has been fired or a gun is aimed and can be visually confirmed by 2 agents at a person of interest” Another quote “Any amount of lethal force used by Secret Service agents that has not been authorized may and will result in the termination of said agent, along with them being charged for murder and having zero government assistance in any court proceedings”
The being hit by glass theory is being considered for a few reasons, one his medical records haven't been released and secondly some of the people that was immediately around him was hit with shrapnel. So since the people really close to him was hit by shrapnel and no medical records have been released, being hit by shrapnel can't be totally ruled out, making both being grazed by a bullet or being hit by shrapnel potential outcomes for his injury.
Shortly after it happened there was a fairly close-up picture of the shooter's corpse that I think popped up as part of the discussion of the Demolition Ranch shirt. It's now vanished from the internet (so far as my google-fu can tell) but in it there wasn't nearly that much damage. The back part might have been gone but his head was still there and still recognizable as a head, complete with a face. It made me sad, so I didn't stare at it or try to memorize it, I just recall his mouth was a little open, there was a large trickle of blood running down his cheek, and a lock of long brownish hair was flopped over his forehead..
As far as the feelings of people around the world, I would assume it was close to a study I did in college for my Masters in history. I interviewed 100 people who were old enough to remember and were living in a foreign country at that time about the 9/11 attacks. The vast majority were pretty much like, " If this could happen in the US, were all screwed.".
7:57 From what I have heard that building was temporarily being used by the local police as an operations HQ for the Trump rally. So, there were literal police in and around that building.
There is another UA-camr by the name of GarrandThumb who is also US Army SFO that did a video about this... his was incredibly interesting as he is less humor, by just a bit, and a lot more common sense technical as to why this was either pure dumb luck or an act of divine intervention... you should really check his out as well.

Btw, I competed and got my tab for the president's 100 with a dpms. Not garbage. Most popular rifle is a 10/22, not an AR Teleprompter are made of a material called hyzod. They are polycarbonate that can stop a bullet, even though it's not its intention, they do it for antiscratch and anticipating reasons. It's the stuff they make newer bulletproof glass from.

Good but she should have been fired right afterwards and she should be under investigation for treason and conspiracy to kill the president.
She got lynched in every way but actual hanging. Run out on a rail. She lost the Blame Game™ for sure.
Unfortunately, by resigning she gets to keep her pension despite the fact that, regardless of gender, she was an over-promoted Pepsi Co security head. It's so ridiculously disgraceful.
@@charlesmaurer6214 Yeah, but she gave them the charcoal, lighter fluid, and lighter to BBQ her with...
"It blows my mind how close this was"
My favorite modern president almost experienced the same sensation.
Accuracy International is a British company. They make the L118a1 (AWP from Counter Strike). They are top notch rifles that started as some friends making rifles in their garages in the UK back in the late 70s
Ironic that nowadays Europeans would go to jail for doing that exact same thing
thought the AWP was the L116 or L96
Paul Harrell's breakdown of the FBI's 1986 Miami Dade Shootout is also worth a watch, it's highly informative. Paul Harrell in general is worth a watch.
The building he was on was some company, but there were no employees in that day, and law enforcement/Secret Service had full clearance to the building, including having one of their sniper teams INSIDE the building itself.
It was a command post for local law enforcement. In a video on Sky News Australia, they showed two US Representatives on the roof recently. In another part of the building complex, they had multiple windows with views of the roof that the dirt bag perched himself on. If they had only looked outside, they would have seen him.
@@MichaelScheele I don't think the issue was seeing him. More so actually doing something about it. Law Enforcement flagged him earlier as a POI, then they lost track of him, but plenty of attendees flagged him down and notified Law Enforcement about a suspicious person on the roof with a rifle, and there are reports of 2 officers trying to engage with him immediately before the shots were fired.
So they were very much aware of his presence. It was a lack of action that caused all of it. Although that too isn't necessarily true as proven by the guy being followed and also engaged before the shooting.
What I don't understand is how you're aware of a suspicious individual. You follow him, you lose him, then you find him again, and yet we still end up with 1 dead, multiple injured, including a a former President, and running Presidential Candidate.
@MichaelScheele the command center was in the building next door.
@@v1p3r62Also they could have just stopped President Trump from making the speech.
In short, Trump was very lucky on that day!!
The whole country was lucky that day.
Yes. 🤔🙄
Trump also got himself a free ear piercing with a great story behind it. *shrug*
He and the rest of the free world were blessed with the protection of God's guardian angels that day. Luck has nothing to do with it.
I believe there was some Devine Intervention Active Buff that saved our country of what could've been a really dark day.
We don’t call them “conspiracies” anymore, we call it foreshadowing
Regardless, whether that building was on private property or not, the Secret Service has authority to go on that building and go anywhere it wants to to secure the president
Which is BS. I get that it's their job to protect the president, so do it where you don't need to invade someone's property. And yes, the land doesn't belong to them, it's privately owned. So it is an invasion. They should be required by law to get the property owner's permission first.
Luke, Snopes showed images of the teleprompters on the stage after the fact. None were damaged at all.
Worth mentioning that Accuracy International is a British company. They also made the AWM.
It's really unfortunate for the teleprompter conspiracy theorists that this was caught on video because both of the teleprompters that are made of glass are both completely intact. I watched this live and screen recorded it. Afterwards you can clearly see both teleprompters have been untouched.
The Shinzo Abe video by Brandon Herrera is entertaining as hell. THAT is worth the watch lol.
Which one? The one that got nuked off UA-cam?
His ear wouldn’t have had cavitation like on the dummy. The top part of the ear is mostly cartilage. It would’ve been more like a round going through a cardboard target, because there’s way less water content to expand.
Secret Service doesn't care if your building is private
The head of the secret service said that there was no secret service positioned on that roof because it was too steep.... so she put secret service inside of the building instead.
Liar liar pants on fire. Gov BS steeper were the snipers were placed. Kind of interesting the Sniper barely re-positioned to change aim to take him out. Brandon knows his gun stuff and DT got bloody lucky.
Clarifications others missed: the law enforcement was aware of him on the roof for 57 minutes before the [event]. They were aware of him as a [questionable] person who had used a [ranging device] on the stage for 3 hours, potentially more.
Imo the only possible explanation is intentional failure by this point.
law enforcement is bad at their jobs as a whole. community policing would have stopped him. defund the police
@@jimbo3 OK, so, I don't fully disagree. I think we need to heavily restructure the policing system & have some other issues, but that isn't really important here imo. That's pretty far from the prime subject.
There's a distinction here between incompetence or cowardice & actual intentional negligence where something so horrible is just allowed to take place.
@@pubcle partly my grievence is an inequality in the streets. police are armed, people aren't. police ride with auto rifles in their car but other people can't. The balance of power feels oppressive. I am from a big city so that does bias my view (they flip on sirens, run a red light, go two blocks, turn it off then wait in traffic bc they had nowhere to go but wanted to use the little power they have). i think that police have been showing a more friendly face the last 2 years which is good. im not a radical, it just feels like the police are an invading force at time.
@@jimbo3 Ok. I understand this, I have mixed & my own beliefs on this. It's irrelevant to the current subject though.
@@pubcleDon't give air time to the people alleging incompetence.
As I pointed out to my buddy, "Your kid can use a radio (they love walkie talkies) they expect us to believe that nobody could call the stage and tell the secret service agents to move the President".
That is not incompetence. Those people couldn't fry an egg without burns if they were cognitively at that level. I'm being serious. Any defense about incompetence being the full cause is suspect
The Gary pluchet recreation is by far the funniest
Why, Gary, why!!!
I soooo want to do Range Day with the Unsubscribe Crew!
Kimberly Cheatle resigned as the Director of the Secret Service this morning. She will still be subject to questioning by Congress even though she is no longer in charge.
She should also be brought up on charges for the one guy who died and the two who got injured for not having enough protection maybe charge her involuntary manslaughter or attempted murder
@@jamesstephenson8789 Agree 100%
The "ar 15" is just a platform with thousands of different variants and configurations. A 800 dollar AR and an 8000 dollar AR are quite different and yet in many ways the same.
Demolition ranch did a video to dispel the rumors on the .50 cavitation and clipped a dummy ear. It did the same damage a 5.56 did
Ockham's Razor : (Willliam of Ockham) All things being equal, the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
Trouble is, what is the simplest? In most of life, that is actually difficult to decide.
In this case, the "Debate goes wrong and campaign is struggling then person who is friends with the people at the top suddenly can't do her job to protect the political opponent and an unprecedent lapse in security occurs" should probably be looked at with things like motive, in the mix
@@matthewmosier8439I would have to debate that “most” decisions are too difficult to apply Ockham’s razor. A person just applies it subliminally most of the time. A knock at the door, friend or foe,… many people I know just open the door without asking first. (Probably friendly, haven’t pissed anyone off lately)
I am on a ranch in America. I hear hooves over the hill… horse or zebra?
@@TonyThomann If you had enemies you'd look at it differently. If you were the most media maligned man in the U.S. you would, too.
And having lived in South Africa where there are lots of zebras, be glad that you never see one running over the hill.
I was unimpressed because they look like small fat horses..
@@matthewmosier8439 Obviously the razor can not be applied to many complex situations such as the President’s current situation. It’s a very useful tool, but not perfect! Take care. Be safe. Watch out for zebras (and HIPPOS!)
Garand Thumb also has a great video up now, also breaking down the mechanics and ballistics of the shooting. Worth the look.
The hitting of the teleprompter was quickly ruled out there is no damage of them and reported of no damage
My favorite bit of misinformation to spread online is that "the 50 BMG is so powerful that even if you missed the target by an inch they would still be obliterated from the velocity of the round"
it's so funny to tell this to people who know nothing about firearms. 🤣🤣
Being an American I know a lot of people that shoot 100-200 rounds a day on their personal ranges. Competition shooters and hunters. They aren’t even good enough to clip an ear at 150 yards. To say it was staged is absurd.
it wouldn't have that expansion on a real ear because of the cartilage in the ear, The ballistic gel simulates flesh not harder more durable material like cartilage.
Awesome video mate.
Those specs suit you, mate. Tidy bit of kit.
TY
Randy K
😎
As an american. The US is like that big brother that fights, deals drugs, steals. But they show up when you need them the most, usually with a gun, stolen money, and a bottle or two of liquor
You should definitely watch the other recreations they’re funny as well as informative… love your content bro
Just in case youre curious, that bipod alone is nearly 1700$, the clamp for it is around 200-250$, the optic is around 3,000. absolutely brutal setup
You should do Garand Thumbs recreation. They are hilarious but also put a lot of science into it and tried to recreate it to the best of their ability
Nope the secret service saw him well beforehand, they had even taken pictures of him which is the pic you saw in the video. The secret service were in the building whose windows looked onto that roof. They knew he was there, local law enforcement saw him on the roof with the rifle beforehand as well
I believe this is the saying you were referring to - “The explanation that takes the least assumptions to get, is usually the right explanation.”
300 win mag is an amazing cartridge, which is my main hunting caliber. My long range rifle is a 300 ultra mag
The phrase you were looking for is "Occam's Razor"
20:00 Accuracy International started in a garage in Worthing, South Essex. Their first commercial success was the L96A1 sniper rifle.
Chris Williamson is a special forces guy who did an analysis on the shooting. He used actual live footage, areal drone footage from after, and 3D models to recreate the timeline. It's really fascinating what went wrong and what went right. You should watch his video!
The problem is that none of the teleprompters were broken.
That is an amazing riffle. The barrel did not move a fraction of a mm when sending the .300 WinMag.
The two guys from Ballistic High Speed have a great channel you could look through. The one guy got blown up a couple months back with a homemade rpg, it’s in full slow motion… maybe a react??
"where do you get these?" 'clear ballistics' has versions of these. They are pricey tho'.
Most guntubers use Balistic dummy labs. They are also pricey too.
I think it's weird how people say it's the teleprompter glass, when's seconds after the shots rang out. One of the agents grabs the sides of the podium thing and moves it. Where was the glass?
Direct quote from the ROE of the Secret Service
“All agents working under threat may not use firearms unless a shot has been fired or a gun is aimed and can be visually confirmed by 2 agents at a person of interest”
Another quote
“Any amount of lethal force used by Secret Service agents that has not been authorized may and will result in the termination of said agent, along with them being charged for murder and having zero government assistance in any court proceedings”
Haha, you getting self-consious about the glass was hillarious :D
Normally the Secret Service advance team would secure several hundred meters radius from the stage.
The being hit by glass theory is being considered for a few reasons, one his medical records haven't been released and secondly some of the people that was immediately around him was hit with shrapnel. So since the people really close to him was hit by shrapnel and no medical records have been released, being hit by shrapnel can't be totally ruled out, making both being grazed by a bullet or being hit by shrapnel potential outcomes for his injury.
I don't see how an ear made of ballistic gel represents an actual ear that's made of Cartlidge, but hey, it was entertaining I guess...
Secret service DEI Director just resigned this morning . 7/23/24
Shortly after it happened there was a fairly close-up picture of the shooter's corpse that I think popped up as part of the discussion of the Demolition Ranch shirt. It's now vanished from the internet (so far as my google-fu can tell) but in it there wasn't nearly that much damage. The back part might have been gone but his head was still there and still recognizable as a head, complete with a face. It made me sad, so I didn't stare at it or try to memorize it, I just recall his mouth was a little open, there was a large trickle of blood running down his cheek, and a lock of long brownish hair was flopped over his forehead..
Luke, thank you for calling it what it was.
As far as the feelings of people around the world, I would assume it was close to a study I did in college for my Masters in history. I interviewed 100 people who were old enough to remember and were living in a foreign country at that time about the 9/11 attacks. The vast majority were pretty much like, " If this could happen in the US, were all screwed.".
7:57 From what I have heard that building was temporarily being used by the local police as an operations HQ for the Trump rally. So, there were literal police in and around that building.
Garand Thumb did one too!
There is another UA-camr by the name of GarrandThumb who is also US Army SFO that did a video about this... his was incredibly interesting as he is less humor, by just a bit, and a lot more common sense technical as to why this was either pure dumb luck or an act of divine intervention... you should really check his out as well.
I just want to say I always liked your video's. You also remind me of my best friend. He laughs like you just with a little deeper tone lol. Either way keep going king!
Don't sweat the glasses, mine are practically the same too lol
Btw, I competed and got my tab for the president's 100 with a dpms. Not garbage.
Most popular rifle is a 10/22, not an AR
Teleprompter are made of a material called hyzod. They are polycarbonate that can stop a bullet, even though it's not its intention, they do it for antiscratch and anticipating reasons. It's the stuff they make newer bulletproof glass from.
Same glasses is such a coincidence
The fact that there are so many channels and "experts" testing and speculating as to how this incident was possible says a lot.
“Why did I say bipod” 😂 knew everyone just roasted him for that 😂😂😂
Too many years shooting prone with a bipod in the service?
Ockham's Razor: the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
Brandon Herrera my brother from Texas love this guy.
Remember the saying, "The four boxes of Liberty: The ballot box, the soap box, the jury box and the cartridge box" (there are variations of this, but you get the idea)
the garand thumb video is very good also!
Demolition Ranch has a video where he clips an ear with a .50 BMG. All that happened is he gauged his earlobe.
People need to realize that this is what happened to the children at Uvalde.
Saw the original 10 mins after it was posted
Got here 10 mins after this was posted
Ocams razor is "the simplest answer is usually the best"
And yo...my first time checking out one of your videos in like a week or so I've been a fan since you had like 10,000 subscribers if I can remember...... but I got to say I'm loving the haircut bro😊😊😅😅🎉🎉
Brandon was the bipod in that scene
I was on the phone my dad after the attempt happened and we were talking about it. My dad says "you know what happens when you get shot in the ear don't ya?" and I can hear my mom in the background yell "WHAT?" and my dad and I literally fell over laughing.
Love seeing your channel growth based on your views
9:47
"It blows my mind how close it was."
The choice of words was crazy...
I can’t believe we got the original human to react to this!
You make these glasses look good, don’t worry! 😄
The teleprompters were not even broken.
Yeah, there is plenty of video out there that can debunk the broken teleprompter screen theory.
The bullet that blew the ram on the forklift is the same bullet that nicked his ear. Another channel did a breakdown on all of the shots that hit people.
23:00 "I can still see just not as well" lmao XD
I admire you and the service you rendered to your home country and at a high level. I do believe that we should be able have vigorous debates but at the end of the day, agree to disagree. Things unfortunately have gone far beyond that. No matter who you support I would not judge you, but, I hope you would support a more conservative view that is trying to save the very fabric of our country. However, You seem like a man that I could have a pint with. Thank you for your bravery and service as a badass for the people of Great Britian. Love your channel. Cheers
Joseph, Idaho, United States of America.
Don't worry man, you make those glasses look great! I barely look nice with narrower, rectangular frames, I don't think I could pull those off!
Garand Thumb also has a great video on this as well
