Livestream With Nate With VFT!

Published on September 14, 2025
Duration: 107:15

This livestream features firearms instructors Nate and Gary analyzing footage and evidence related to a shooting incident involving Charlie Kirk. They discuss ballistics, the effectiveness of body armor (specifically plates), and the physics of bullet impacts. The conversation delves into the lack of an exit wound, the behavior of the shirt during impact, and the possibility of ricochets or deflections off ballistic plates. They also examine the timeline of events and the presence or absence of body armor.

Quick Summary

Analysis of a shooting incident involving Charlie Kirk suggests the presence of ballistic plates due to the shirt's behavior during impact and the absence of an expected exit wound from a .30-06 round. Experts discuss how plates can deflect bullets and the physics of such impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key ballistics considerations when analyzing a shooting incident?

Key ballistics considerations include the expected exit wound size, the likelihood of profuse bleeding, and the penetration capabilities of the specific caliber. For a .30-06 round, a significant exit wound and bleeding are expected, and it's unlikely to be stopped by bone. The absence of these indicators raises questions about the reported caliber or impact location.

How does body armor, specifically ballistic plates, affect bullet trajectory?

Ballistic plates can deflect bullets, causing them to ricochet or change trajectory. This deflection can send rounds in unexpected directions, potentially upwards or sideways, which is a significant factor when analyzing impacts that don't align with a direct shot.

What evidence suggests Charlie Kirk may have been wearing ballistic plates during the incident?

Analysis of slow-motion footage shows the shirt lifting in a manner consistent with impact against rigid plates. Additionally, the absence of an exit wound and the way the shirt behaves during impact suggest a deflection or stop by armor, rather than a clean pass-through.

Why is the absence of an exit wound significant in a rifle shot analysis?

The absence of an exit wound from a high-powered rifle shot, especially to the neck, is considered physically impossible. A rifle round possesses significant energy that should cause substantial tissue damage and an exit wound, making its absence a major red flag in the investigation.

What are the implications of the FBI's handling of evidence in this shooting incident?

Critics suggest the FBI's reporting and evidence presentation have been poor, characterized by obfuscation and a lack of transparency. Questions have been raised about the timeline of evidence discovery, such as the 'murder weapon' photo, and the overall handling of the investigation.
