President Trump was shot on Saturday at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Firearms expert Larry Johnson confirmed to The Gateway Pundit:
** The shooter was likely outside the venue ** The shooter was on the right side of Trump ** This was not a pistol used by the shooter ** Likely a 22 Long Rifle – likely semiautomatic ** The 22 Long Rifle is effective up to 200 yards ** It appears no one else was shot on the stage ** The audience was looking to their right after the shots were fired. ** Bullet was in a deceleration range
THERE ARE REPORTS THE SHOOTER IS DOWN
President Trump is bleeding from his ear!!!
The crowd was absolutely massive

A .22 LR is lethal out to 700 yds, but I’m guessing he used an AR type rifle 5.56 / .223.
I'm guessing your guess is correct, but lethality is not practical. At 200 yd, a .22lr has over 30" of drop, not something many shooters can simply deal with. At 700? I don't see quick ballistics data there, but 500 yd is 35 to 45 FEET of drop...

The area of the shooter’s location was reportedly outside of the SS’s determination for required observation.
I can understand outside their area of immediate control, but any elevated location within 300 m (or maybe even 500 m) should be somehow secured and/or observed during the event. A rooftop at 200 yd, almost anyone can easily put a couple rounds on target at that range!

A .22 lr wouldn’t be practical at 700 yds, of course, but is far more lethal than some think.
Have seen videos of shooters hitting targets at that range.
It was an AR, as I thought.

I’d classify that as a bullet plus propellant. I.E. Rocket.

Which is why i question even using the term. A fired bullet decelerating is expected - like saying water at standard temperature and pressure is ‘wet.’
