Is Iran Shooting Anti-Hijab Protestors?

Published on October 12, 2022
Duration: 9:14

This video analyzes evidence related to the use of firearms and ammunition against anti-hijab protestors in Iran. It examines shotgun shells, identifying a 12-gauge, 3-inch birdshot load based on hull construction and crimp. The speaker also discusses the characteristics of 9x39mm and 7.62x39mm rounds, concluding they are not typically used for less-lethal applications. The analysis extends to blank rounds and tear gas munitions, contrasting them with live ammunition and staged evidence.

Quick Summary

Analysis of ammunition used against Iran protestors suggests the use of 12-gauge birdshot and standard rifle rounds like 7.62x39mm, not less-lethal options. Evidence of staged projectiles, like pristine rifle bullets, indicates potential misinformation campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shotgun ammunition was identified in the analysis of the Iran protest evidence?

The analysis identified a 12-gauge, 3-inch shotgun hull. Based on the crimp and hull construction, it was determined to be likely loaded with birdshot, a type of ammunition that can be lethal at close range.

Are 9x39mm and 7.62x39mm rounds used for less-lethal purposes in riot control?

No, the video strongly indicates that 9x39mm and 7.62x39mm cartridges are not designed or used for less-lethal applications. The 9x39mm is for subsonic velocities, and 7.62x39mm is a standard rifle round with no less-lethal variants.

How can one distinguish between live ammunition and blank cartridges?

Blank cartridges typically have extra material at the front that unfolds upon firing. Live ammunition, like the 7.62x39mm casing with an ejector mark, shows signs of being fired from a standard firearm.

What are the indicators of staged evidence when analyzing projectile injuries?

A pristine projectile, especially a high-velocity rifle round like a 7.62, that shows no signs of deformation upon alleged impact suggests it was either fired at a much lower velocity or was a pulled bullet in a staged photograph.
