    This as all been explained. I’m not a ballistics expert so I can’t give you the details. But they have recreated these wounds exactly with ballistic gel and a recreation of the vehicle. No magic bullet nonsense. All straight shots into a moving vehicle and the difference in wound height of the two victims is explained by the fact that one was in a fold down jump seat that sat lower. One shooter, one rifle.

      What are you even talking about a magic bullet for?

      It is a simple question of ballistics, entrance wounds vs exit wounds.

      First shot into the upper back does not match the second shot into the skull.

      Wouldn’t he have a gaping hole either in his upper back or throat similar to the damage done to his skull?

      The second shot doesn’t match the first that’s always been the question

        Take a screwdriver and stab ballistic gel. Then take a screwdriver and, with the same force, stab an ice cube. Notice a difference in how the substance responds to the force?

        It’s quite possible not to encounter anything hard (bone) going through a neck or chest. A skull not so much.
