What is thus far the most likely entry and exit point of the bullet on the neck that people have figured out SOLELY on the videos that show Kirk being shot WITHOUT taking into account from where the shot might have come from?
That's the problem: currently, there is no exit wound.
And I think the current consensus is also that there was no breast-plate.
Which means no ricochet, which means the full force of the 30.06 round directly penetrated Kirk's neck... and didn't exit his body.
Which Paramount Tactical guy seems to be saying is next-to-impossible given the anatomy of the neck.
So, yeah. That's 'spooky psy-ops' for ya. In the absence of full disclosure of information, you need 'magic bullets' for them to make sense!
As for the mystery of the exit wound, the only explanation I can think of is that the bullet hit bone and deflected it, staying inside
I’ll add to this. One of the first videos I saw suggesting the ricochet from the top of a vest said that the entry wound on the neck was weird. It was too big for a normal entry wound.
So here’s a hypothesis. The bullet hit him in the chest, ricocheting off a bone (shattering into pieces), and exited at the front of his neck.
I watched documentaries on bullet trajectories decades ago, they can do very weird things, including exiting the same side they entered.
If it came in the front of the neck but didn’t leave, it has to be lodged in, or ricochet off of his spine. An impact like that would have “snapped his neck” instantly. But from what I’ve seen the shot was the wrong angle for the neck wound to be the entry point and it to hit his spine as well.
