Why am I not surprised.
Right on.
We teach setups from elevated positions and I tell attendees to ignore the angle if inside 200 which would be 99% of their potential problems.
Yes, there is a change due to angle but it is so small it is lost in the noise. Most misses are because the shooter is doing stupid shit on the gun because their position was out of their usual realm.
Depending on the building, how much angle was there? Difference of 75'? Maybe? of elevation over 100yrds? Or even 200yrds? (Which did not appear to be that). But, going with a head shot with a Mauser, did not seem like a solid plan. If that is where they were aiming. Unfortunately, the end result was still not good----.Also, don't most laser rangefinders and/or ballistic calcs. already compensate for angle?
Gee, really?Yes, but...
Having used old school hunting cartridges with modest muzzle velocities and low BC bullets for high angle shots in the Austrian Alps, I learned the hard way that "it depends". Back then, we did not have a ballistic calculator on the smartphone in our back pocket.
Today, there is no excuse for missing due to uncompensated bullet drop. Take the straight line distance measured by your LRF and multiply that with the cosine of your inclination angle.
Example: 190 yards at 30 degrees would look like 190 * cos (30) if your trig calculator is set to degrees or 190 * cos (30*pi/180) if it expects angles in radians. The result is ~165 yards.
This is the horizontal distance your bullet experiences "full value" gravitational pull. Some LRFs will output this directly.
Now, look at your trajectory chart and ask yourself whether there is a significant difference between 190 and 165 yards. For .556 , 6.5CM, the PRC family, etc. the difference is insignificant. But a 8x57 Mauser can drop about 4-6", depending on bullet.
This is extremely sad. The responses from the some of the left are disturbing and hard to watch as well. People who are celebrating this on social media really should be flagged, found, and taken in to be assessed for mental illness.
i'm guessing he was the airgun guy?Mallonson is nobody. Not the guy.
depends on the LRF, I have one that does and one that doesn'tAlso, don't most laser rangefinders and/or ballistic calcs. already compensate for angle?
Everyone keeps saying 200yd but the maps show 200ft. Makes a difference to an amateur.
Also, Trump saying riots followed by shootings is a fact not a threat.
Proud boys stand by isn't violence.
MTG saying people should hang... 100 years ago there would be dozens of Democrats hung for treason. Now, Republicans say let's just move forward. Legally, we could hang them today.
I saw that also.
200ft = 66yds = what I would have thought is WAY too close for the closest elevated position on that campus venue.
We have already determined from past incidents including the Mandalay Bay shooting that reporters and posters absolutely suck at terminology.
They have no clue of the difference between feet, yards, furlongs or fathoms.
More food for thought.....
Stop and think what a 30-06 would sound like at 66yds from the muzzle.
A Mauser in '06 wouldn't likely have a suppressor and that bitch would be deafening to the entire crowd. Even with the audio signal compression and nerd shit going on with people's phone vids, the shot report would have still been epic. Yet it was not.
The muzzle blast from a 30-06 would have had everyone videoing with their phone jerk like a motherfucker at the shot. None of the hand held phone vids translate to that.
Honestly I think the 30-06 muzzle report at 200 YARDS would have been more than experienced as well.
Lots of questions and head scratchers for sure.
I'm not saying that you need to cry for these victims of senseless violence in the same way that you mourn for the loss of those close to you; of course you will have stronger emotions when it involves those you care about. But what I am seeing from other posters in this thread is ZERO empathy for victims like I have just mentioned, with justifications ranging from the political leanings of the victims to the color of their skin. It's those kinds of attitudes that this country can do without. America is a melting pot, and that's what makes it great. Like is written on the Statue of Liberty:
Yet so many on this forum have, for reasons unbeknownst to me, ignored the very foundation that America was founded on, in that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. We accept all because we are better than the places that these migrants come from.
Your compassion should not end at only people who think, look, and talk like you. I'm not black, I'm not trans, I'm a homosexual, I'm not an immigrant, yet I can see the struggles these groups go through and empathize with their plight even if I would never have the opportunity to dialogue with them. Would I have a stronger bond if I was part of their community? Sure, in the same way you feel a stronger sorrow for Charlie's death than you would any of the other victims of violence I have mentioned. But if people on this forum want to preach that having feelings and emotions is a valid and normal thing, then they should extend that courtesy to all groups, not just the ones they like or personally agree with.
I'll take the bait because I'm in a good mood:
I'm sure you're aware of Kilmar Garcia who was illegally (see: without due process) deported to El Salvador by ICE. Garcia may have come here illegally, but he ultimately was granted legal status insofar as being able to remain in the USA while he continued through the process of becoming a naturalized citizen. Would I have preferred if he immigrated "legally"? I'm sure we all would want immigrants to our amazing country to do so in that manner. But sometimes that's just not possible. Garcia was fleeing from violence in El Salvador; you expect him to sit in his country and wait months for the US to grant him a visa to flee here when there are gangbangers knocking down his door trying to kill him? Iryna Zarutska surely was not here "legally" by the definition of the law, but she and her family were fleeing from the war in Ukraine. I don't see you cheering her death because "hurrr durrr that's one less illegal." She and her family needed to leave because in a matter of seconds a Russian artillery shell could have destroyed their home and killed them.
Fuck outta here with your double standards.
I can watch CNN or MSNBC to listen to all your opinions and wisdom. Most people here live in reality. They may speculate about conspiracies, and they may be prejudiced by their own experiences, but they don't deny facts, believe they create their own truth, or that they create their own reality, and they certainly don't believe that right and wrong is based on ephemeral, human power structures.Thanks for taking the time to sincerely respond to my questions so I'll give you the same respect.
The thing is, I don't really have a political point to make. Beyond the 2 Democratic legislators and their dog being gunned down for God knows what reason, all of the other killings I would consider apolitical. I think you would agree that school shootings have very little to do with politics; they're just kids! They don't know anything about the how shit the world is and how fucked up politics are in this country. Tamir Rice was 12 and playing with an airsoft pistol in a public park with nobody else around when a police officer rolled up on him, open the door, and shot him all in the span of less than 5 seconds of video. Ahmaud Arbery was going for a run in the neighborhood he lived in, and because he was black a couple of yahoos thought he was "up to no good" and took it upon themselves to antagonize him from their pickup truck and lynch him in broad daylight.

great Pic, makes you wonder why all the news pictures are blurry and grainy.
The impact also doesn't look at all what a 30-06 at 200 yards is going to do, even using generic 150gn ball. (Still catching up in case that's been gone over earlier.)I saw that also.

I can answer this. We are not all equal and we certainly don’t all deserve respect.What does this even mean?
What's immoral about wanting all human beings to be treated equally and with respect? That's not Communism that's basic human decency. If that's in direct conflict with your beliefs, the problem is probably you.

Good post and I don't necessarily disagree with it but it sure sounds like the violent trans whack job person would make the perfect patsy and folks would buy it hook line and sinker due to what's been happening recently. Bad actors in IC could train, supply, advise him, etc. and maintain deniability. We'll likely never know but all angles need to be explored not just the convenient one being shoved down our throats with convenient evidence left behindBeen a long time since I posted anything here. Retired from my LE career, doing other things these days.
Let's assess the situation according to logical principles. Occam's razor holds true in almost all situations: the simplest, least complex answer requiring the fewest logical leaps, conspirators, or chains of events is usually true.
I've found that extended conspiracies are rarely the right answer. Not never, but rarely. It's unlikely that this was anything complicated. The "but the jews!" crowd is out, insisting this must be a professional Mossad operation because the shot was so hard, and the shooter temporarily escaped, etc. The other conspiracists suggest everyone from Russian intelligence to the CIA to the boogaloo boys must have done it.
But all of you here who actually do what this forum is here for know better. You or I could easily have done this and temporarily escaped. It's not actually hard. University campuses are a very, very soft target. From other shootings, we know that if police (or better yet and more likely, an armed citizen) are not in a position to catch and neutralize the shooter immediately, a temporary escape lasting days is not unusual. The rifle was not suppressed, it is an old bolt rifle, and it is not what an expert would choose. The position was not what an expert would choose. Rooftop, highly exposed, with a visible exfil? The shot was not hard, and yet does not appear to have been particularly accurate. The timing was not what an intel agency would choose. Most intel agency assassinations have happened at home, while driving point-to-point on known routines, etc; and most are very low visibility. Many are deniable, and made to look like accidents. Intel agencies don't accidentally galvanize their opposition.
On to the realistic outcomes and solving this:
I've worked as an LE investigator; it's rare for police and the FBI to release evidence immediately, and rare for evidence to be processed within the first few days. It's likely there are prints and even DNA on the rifle. There are footprints and there IS surveillance video. Remember when people were trying to claim a professional hit because the shooter "avoided cameras"? Shooter didn't avoid cameras after all. Just because we haven't seen evidence yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Given what we know of the rifle and ammunition conditions, the scene, the technique and weapon used, and the similarities to recent shootings and the language on their weapons and accessories, we're most likely looking at one of the deranged leftist freaks. Trans and far-leftist ideology, antifa leanings, and with terroristic tendencies. This falls right in line with the recent trend: Nashville Covenant school shooting March 2023, Antifa/Transtifa attack on ICE in Texas in July 2025, Minneapolis church school shooter August 2025, and the Zizian trans/antifa terror cell murders and attempted murders in 2022, 2023, and 2025.
When the shooter is found, a deep dive into all electronics, online communication, and personal connections should be done. It's likely there will be links to others, and it would be good to start tearing these networks and groups apart from the inside. If federal intel agencies are embedding people in the 3-percenter, Oathkeepers, and local militia groups, it should be the case that they're ALSO targeting antifa, John Brown Gun Clubs, the "pink" gun clubs, etc. Any indication that that's not happening is simply an indication of an ideological bias at the fed agencies, and let's be honest, that would not be surprising at all: these are the same people who took guidance from the SPLC's list of "dangerous hate groups" which included traditional Catholics, the Family Research Council (for opposing LGBTQ+ ideology), and Moms for Liberty (for advocating for parental rights in education). Hopefully the people in place now will do more than a "Ladies and gentlemen, we got him", and will dig deeper to find and charge ANY connected parties with knowledge.
I don’t actually know anything. But based on video of some guy on the roof and such, just over 400 feet look correct.The overhead map I seen earlier in this thread was 411 feet so roughly 140 yards ??
Hence another reason I think a suppressed rifle was used and the 3006 was "provided" as fake evidence while the real shooter goes on his merry way.I saw that also.
200ft = 66yds = what I would have thought is WAY too close for the closest elevated position on that campus venue.

Mode C is required above 10000 MSLAs a professional pilot, I've been considering the reports of the private jet and it "disappearing from radar/turning off it's transponder". This would raise alarms in air traffic control and be highly unusual..., unless it was completely normal and mundane. Let me explain. Typically, a jet will depart a field on an instrument flight plan and fly under instrument flight rules (IFR). This is required to fly above 18000'. However, when the destination airport is uncontrolled (no/unmanned airport tower) and has clear weather, once below 18000' pilots have the option to proceed visually to the destination. This is routinely done for a variety of reasons, mostly for convenience. When canceling IFR, it is coordinated with ATC and you then change your transponder code to the generic VFR code (1200), which removes the ATC tag in the system. This is a completely normal, everyday occurrence.
I'm not saying this flight was or was not associated with the event. But the sensationalized reporting of it "disappearing from radar" has a completely normal benign explanation.
To borrow a quote from an old western..... Does seem mighty queersome.Hence another reason I think a suppressed rifle was used and the 3006 was "provided" as fake evidence while the real shooter goes on his merry way.
This person posted this the day before the shooting.
Not saying they did it but they possibly knew something and is obviously a man in confusion.

Not watching, engineering. Bender's video.Not worth my effort when the "strongest" response I'll get is weakshit like being called a nigger
Bingo. We are in a class war and the only sides are us poor, common folk and the ruling elite. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can actually take back this country. By the people for the people. Like Terry alluded to in the early pages of this thread, all the kikes in DC are gleefully watching the masses go at each other's throats over this assassination (regardless of who was behind it). As long as we attack each other, they remain safe. If they can turn us against each other this easily, they won't need to lift a finger to control us.
It's just you.Maybe it's just me but seems kind of disrespectful for the VP to not go to the 9/11 memorial service on the anniversary of the attack?
Agreed. It's very likely a trans/leftist whack job, as those toys were wound up a long time ago, and we're definitely seeing a few of them pop off now, killing children in schools for their "cause." And we also see a disturbing segment of the population bleat with glee when they do; I've even had a coworker that I thought was normal and well adjusted do just that yesterday. It's disgusting.Good post and I don't necessarily disagree with it but it sure sounds like the violent trans whack job person would make the perfect patsy and folks would buy it hook line and sinker due to what's been happening recently.

Two remarks.I watched the video once. I will not watch it again.
Very clearly the sonic crack of high velocity CF rifle cartridge. Impact clearly heard as well.
No boom.
I have worked the pits enough to be very familiar with this phenomenon. The "boom" did not follow. A supressor was used.
Guy standing next to Charlie, immediately claims he was the shooter. They later arrest a guy with a suppressed air rifle near the venue.
All distractions.
Church last night was very subdued. Lots of young folk go to my church. Some were in tears over this.
In many ways Charlie Kirk was our voice.
Now some of you will shit on his grave and his sacrifice. Yes, he made the ultimate sacrifice. He has made the statement numerpus times, that he is not afraid of the death threats. He said numerous times he has a home in heaven if they killed him.
How many of you have that kind of assurance?
The civil war talk....geez louweez. Who even said they want a civil war...i must have missed it.
If we decent folk(yeah the rest of you are absolute shitbags) wanted a civil war there would be bullets flying from oir side. The fact that we are trying to talk our way back to sanity, proves that we do NOT want a civil war.
As has been said, we don't have to want one, we already have one. The shitbags in our society are foaming at the mouth, not us.
We are having prayer meetings and encouraging patience.
The cartridge box is coming, and none of us are excited about it, or eager for it, that is insanity....like the shitbags.

Does your co worker still have teeth?Agreed. It's very likely a trans/leftist whack job, as those toys were wound up a long time ago, and we're definitely seeing a few of them pop off now, killing children in schools for their "cause." And we also see a disturbing segment of the population bleat with glee when they do; I've even had a coworker that I thought was normal and well adjusted do just that yesterday. It's disgusting.
However, we also know the FBI, and undoubtedly other agencies, foster, advise, and supply whackjobs as part of their "intelligence" operations, as far back as the infamous WTC deal in the 90s and other various claimed "stings" that were "fumbled."
That is what is unfortunate here. It is highly plausible an unhinged lunatic would be both capable and actually executed this and all signs point to that right now, but I can never be sure that's the whole story behind it.
It was an internet group call via Teams, they live on the other side of the country from me. So I'm assuming yes, they still have their teeth.Does your co worker still have teeth?
It's just you. Now leave please.Maybe it's just me but seems kind of disrespectful for the VP to not go to the 9/11 memorial service on the anniversary of the attack?
You're not wrong. It's entirely possible that a genius plot would use that because it's entirely believable. But until we see some evidence to suggest that there is a broader conspiracy, it's likely that the simpler explanation is the accurate one.Good post and I don't necessarily disagree with it but it sure sounds like the violent trans whack job person would make the perfect patsy and folks would buy it hook line and sinker due to what's been happening recently.
