Perhaps they used these. They are very high powered sniper rounds.

The ad extols the virtues of local Wallystores, how they're good for the community, how much they contribute to the economic health of the area, blah, blah, blah.
Regardless of source, the ad is so blatantly brainwashing, it's an embarassing and pathetic piece of work.
However, the behemoth chain obviously believes the ad is gonna work in counteracting bad press it receives about all its Chinese products and its being the big gorilla in the neighborhood.

A point of information: Dissidents in China are generally labeled as common criminals. From the photo (tragic and sad whatever the womens' crime)it does not appear they are Tibetan dissidents. Perhaps, instead, they were involved in any number of crimes which we in the US do not consider worthy of execution.

Those marketing whizes in Walmart headquarter are propaganda specialists. They are just as confident of their propaganda as Kim Jong-il is of his.
You should use your remote control whenever you see it.:)
Such as hookers carrying HIV?
All the ammo I ever used was steel-cased FMJ. and was of Chineese manufacture (Norinco) so I expect that they would use the same stuff.
You're absolutely right in that a wound of that magnitude, it's likely that a hollow point or a larger calibre round was used. What comes to mind (and is used by the Chineese) is the 14.5mm Heavy machine gun round. That would certainly obliterate the skull in the fashion demonstrated in the pictures.
Three was an interesting documentary about Walmart on just the other day.
Don't know if you happened to catch it.
Between things I have learned about Wall-Mart on FR and the documentary, I won't set foot in a Wally World again.
With or without HIV, stealing copper wiring or a cow, embezzlement....economic crimes for which we do execute the criminal.
Re:
"Were they spreading Christianity?"
My thoughts exactly. From what I've read here and there, this is not an uncommon fate for Chinese Subjects who practice "unauthorized religions".
And this is our "Most favored Nation" trading partner?!
By the calm composure of these Young Ladies - almost stoic - in the last moments of their Earthly lives, We might hope that they had a calm, sacred assurance of a far better Home awaiting them, and eternal Life with a loving Lord and Savior.
I do not even see any tears as they are prepared for their fates.
BTW; I'm not an expert on ComBloc weapons, but it appears that Komrade Executioner is using a "Dragunov" high-powered, long range Sniper rifle, which chambers the powerful 7.62 X 54MM/R Soviet cartridge. It is significantly more powerful than the 7.62 X 39MM AK-47 "Assault Weapon" round or the newer 5.56MM AK-74.
From the extent of obvious trauma, the lethal power of the Dragunov, especially at point-blank range, is grimly obvious.
At least death was mercifully quick; The Chicoms are not at all above torturing dissidents - including Christians - to death. The lamestream media won't tell us that - but Missionaries familiar with the area will.
I wonder if the bodies were subsequently "parted out" for their transplantable organs? The Chicoms apparently run a thriving and lucrative international business in used people - parts.
SOrry that should have "....economic crimes for which we do NOT execute the criminal".
That o.k.....your not supposed to pay any attention to that... just keep on buying all the made in China crap.......
Thank you! That's what I thought. I don't particularly see it as inhumane honestly. If the women in the photographs *did* in fact commit a premeditated murder . . . I mean jeez. . .there are people here on FR all the time who talk about drowning/suffocating/etc etc the perpetrators of murders as retaliation.
I would think a bullet. . . or more to the head would be pretty quick.
Was that Gary Gilmore?
Nope, the last one was John Albert Taylor.
From Execution by firing squad at Wikipedia:
Since Gilmore's death, the only other execution by firing squad, that of John Albert Taylor in 1996, was also in Utah, which retained the firing squad as the default method of execution until 1980. The firing squad was banned in Utah by a law passed on March 15, 2004, leaving Idaho and Oklahoma as the only states where it is still legal, although four Utah convicts that previously chose to die by firing squad will have their requests honored should they ultimately be executed.
It appears that I was wrong about firing squads still being allowed by law in Utah.
Looks like a replay of the German Nazi's annihilating the Jews. It would be safe to assume that the Chinese will pay severely in the long run for the actions portrayed.
Too, they are reenacting the actions of the Japanese in the murder and rape of thousands of innocent Chinese citizens of Nanjing during the WW2 period.
I think that my post #108 was clear enough. I did not in any way mean to suggest that you visit any such sites. My comment in a later post was a reference to what google returned.
You might be right, but even soft point sniper rounds in that caliber would not take the top off the way it didi.
Also, it doesn't fit the profile.
Chinese executions are so routine that they skimp on everything. They wouldn't use such an expensive round when the cheap ones will do the job.
Roaddog has a very good point though. I forgot, they do use the 14mm machine gun round, which would absolutely cause the damage we see. But again, the profile is wrong. Unles they were looking to make an example.
Which might explain a lot. Use a big bore, create big damage, take photos, let photos get smuggled out with the implication: "this is what happens to those who misbehave."
Best way to terrorize a political group.
Nothing quicker short of an atomic bomb. Once during deer season I shot a running buck through the head, and he dropped like the proverbial stone. Lights out, instantly.
That's what I thought at first too but if you compare photos, the rifle the executioner is using has a shorter handguard than a Dragunov, and I've never seen a Drag with a "banana clip" like the one on that rifle.
