Given that .30-06 is a round larger than 7.62x51mm, and Ronnie McNutt completely removed his head with 7.62 (Granted, at point-blank range). Is it totally reasonable that at 200 yards the round fired from the rifle would have lost enough energy to just punch a hole through him like it did and not practically blow Charlie Kirk's head off? One of my close friends isn't convinced that the rifle presented to us could have been the one that made the shot because of how relatively clean the wound was. I also just want to hear Kiwi's thoughts.
Well it didn't hit him in the head, if it had it might very well have, but it hit soft tissue and tore a ton of material on its way out. The blood spray from the close up shows how much damage it did, it was probably a steel core round that wasn't designed to expand right away anyway. Have your friend watch some hunting videos of hogs with 30-06, they don't explode either but they dump blood out the exit hole just like Charlie did.
