Shot fired at Trump?

It's interesting how this thread has devolved into people trying to pin the shooter onto their opposing party.

What would the results have been if POTUS Trump's would be assassin had been armed with a Joe Biden recommended shotgun loaded with buckshot?
Imagine eight swarms of #00 buckshot with a pattern spread of about twelve feet impacting Trump as well as the crowd with a residual velocity of about 650 feet per second. Assuming a 12 gauge, 3&1/2" chambering, that is 18 pellets per round multiplied by eight rounds for a total of 144, 33 caliber projectiles each massing about as much as a bullet from an AR-15 rodent rifle.
I'll defer to the Ammosexuals on this board for specifics, but I don't think that a shotgun fired from the rooftop sniper's nest had the ability to cover the 150 yard distance to the target.
 
Dam, an attempted assassination being called an attempted assassination really gets your goat.

Or perhaps he wasn't "injured enough" for you?
Now do the same with the insurrection… it will be fun.

Ohhhh better yet, what’s the chemical makeup of water? Does it still have three elements? Or can you discard the extra 12 amu you keep attributing to it?

And you're surprised? This isn't your first rodeo, cowboy. 😛
I used to post a decision tree graphic to help the RWCJ with their response based on the race and religion of both the shooter and the victim(s).

It's not just the right doing it

LOL. This is the Literotica Politics Board. Rapid devolvement and multiple spinoffs that would make a schizophrenic look sane is a way of life here. I abandoned trying to make sense of it all long ago and have since focused on doing my best to enhance the process. That's much more fun than the alternative, which would probably involve upping my meds.

Yes, you've been participating in the "he's a lefty" devolution. 👍

Want to see how fast I can change streams and become a lefty for a week? LOL. Just don't take me too seriously here, except for stuff on Ukraine.

I'm here to have fun and enjoy myself, and I remain completely certain that nobody here has ever actually changed anyone elses views on anything. Therefore, I do not try. And I will NEVER be disappointed. I WILL be disappointed if anyone takes me too seriously tho. Except on Ukraine. You can take me seriously on anything to do with Ukraine. But for most of this board, Ukraine is a side-note anyhow.

Do it. Post as a “lefty” for a week.
 
I'm not here for you, Sparky. And you aren't humorous.
You are ALL here for me. You just don't know it. But I do...LOL

And now, sit back, have a nice coffee, I've put the soft music on, there's a little kitten here to play with, and you can....that's it, relax, mellow out, close your eyes, it's all going away, and soon you are going to feel so much relaxed...the pressure is dissipating....you can smile....Kamala WILL be President and we will live in Paradise on Earth....the sun is shining down on eternal summer......that's it....

Nice how you utilize a denigrating, homophobic slur to preemptively delegitimize anyone who is knowledgeable enough to educate you

While I can perform the calculations myself, I doubt that you'd understand a reasonable accurate approximation much less second order differential equations. The latter can not be solved analytically so numerical integration is required.

I will suggest that you go to this online ballistics calculator that is specific to shotguns:

http://www.ctmuzzleloaders.com/ctml_experiments/shot-ballistics/shotgunning.html

Be careful to specify the shot size (#00) and shot composition (lead or Hevishot). See the results for yourself.

"Homophobic"? Nah, bro. It simply refers to the red pilled folks out there who prefer the company of their steel peener substitutes to an actual living breathing sex partner.

Nothing "homosexual" about that at all. :rolleyes:

The range of a shotgun firing pellets depends on the type of shot used. Fine shot like No. 7-1/2 will travel about 250 meters, while larger shot like No. 2 can travel up to 305 meters. Buckshot, which is used for hunting, can travel from 600 to 1000 meters, depending on its size1. In general, a shotgun's range is determined by the spreading area of the shot, and it depends on the likely target coverage by the pellets or shot balls2.


i wondered, myself, so asked :)

There is a golden tip: most shots spread about one inch per foot back. To be simple, if you need a grouping that is thirty inches to hit the target, let be at most thirty feet back.
so if i used a shotgun using pellets, and fired it from approx 450' away from the single target, the spread would be—what—some 450" or 37.5 FEET... not very effective for taking out a target but might result in multiple minor wounds

Bongino Claims That Trump Assassination Bombshells Are Coming Soon​

Matt Margolis | 12:00 PM on July 29, 2024

Dan Bongino has been all over the Secret Service failure that resulted in the near-assassination of former President Trump. As a former Secret Service agent himself, Bongino has inside knowledge and sources that make him a great source of information you won't hear elsewhere. He's been there, so he knows how the Secret Service operates.


On his podcast over the weekend, he offered a “comprehensive breakdown of the Secret Service failure in Butler County, Pennsylvania” and went over some recent developments in the story, such as the fact that law enforcement officers who were assigned to monitor the roof the shooter fire from did not do so because it was "too hot."

He also revealed a couple of things that he expects outlets to widely report next week, including why counter-snipers waited so long to shoot the would-be assassin.

“I've got from as close a source as you're gonna get to this, okay?" he said before going into detail about what he found out. "The reason they waited and hesitated was because they were unsure if that was in fact the locals who were supposed to have that post. Apparently, they waited for the muzzle flash, which is an unbelievable lapse in security, before they realized 'That's not us.'”

The rest here:https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2...ssination-bombshells-are-coming-soon-n4931153

Note that Bongino was on the SS protective details of George Bush and Barack Obama.
