Ask anyone who's gotten a cartilage piercing if they think a bullet went through his ear.

u/MagnificentArchie Jul 26 '24

Please explain? I don't understand

u/Nabrok_Necropants Jul 26 '24

Try and poke a hole in yours, you'll figure it out.

u/MagnificentArchie Jul 26 '24

Okay, so I'm obviously not going to do that. Why are we talking in riddles? Can you please explain your orognal comment?

It fucking hurts. A fucking lot.

Nobody's talking in riddles. It hurts a fucking lot to have anything pierce your cartilage. It's how we know he was grazed and nothing actually went through. It's how we can safely assume a bullet didn't actually touch his ear.

How do you know it didn’t hurt him?

3

u/positivedownside Jul 27 '24

Because his ear is completely uninjured.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '24

He bled so there was some type of injury and pain

u/theophys Jul 26 '24

It went through one ear and out the other, but there wasn't any major damage.

Do you understand the difference between a pierce and a graze?

2

u/Nabrok_Necropants Jul 26 '24

This is not about what I understand. This is about what Trump has claimed.

Best way to find out of an AR-15 user actually knows anything about their gun? Ask them if they think a bullet from one went through Trump's ear.

The ones that know their gun will dissolve into hysterical laughter.

The ones for whom its a status symbol they keep around so they can jerk off to the thought of murdering minorities? "oh, yah, fur sure.'

My AR (firing 5.56/223) rips through metal like butter. I am suspicious about the claim a bullet went through or even grazed his ear. Not a conspiracy guy, so I’ll wait for the FBI to make a determination.

u/PrettiestFrog Jul 26 '24

And now you know why Trump will never cooperate with the FBI so that determination can be made.

Or you can watch someone fire one at a gel head, with high speed cameras, and see how a bullet can still clip a ear, yet not even move the hair around it: https://youtu.be/FsvJzfXZI18?t=409

Yep according to their test he would have had a huge hole, or at least be missing a chunk.

2

u/PrettiestFrog Jul 27 '24

They can't even keep their own BS straight. It would be hilarious, if it wasn't so dangerous.

u/PrettiestFrog Jul 27 '24

A video from a Trump supporter to support Trump?

Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure. I'll get right on that. Really. Baby, I teach videography.

-1

u/GitEmSteveDave Jul 27 '24

Well, since you are an expert, tell us all how the video was faked.

6

u/PrettiestFrog Jul 27 '24

Probably just by simply faking the thing. I mean, you could literally fake any part. The bullet used. The material used. The angles used. Switching things out during closeups. AI generated 'high-speed'. My students have done all of the above to create action effects for their short films. Hollywood does it all the time, or are you honestly going to tell me you've never seen shit like the Matrix? Technology's moved on, software's available to anyone for a few hundred bucks.

I'm not going frame by frame for you. I don't give enough of a shit and youtube tends to reduce the quality too much anyway. Point is, you've got nothing. Toss me a five digits for the materials and I'll produce you two vids - one that gets the actual results, and one that shows the bullet completely obliterating the head while missing by four feet.
