I just had a random thought - if we know the shutter speed we should know the bullet’s speed based on how stretched it is right? For a given shutter speed, the bullet would have the same stretch distance given a specific flight speed. I believe it was mentioned the shutter speed was 1/8000 if I’m not mistaken. That means we would just need to measure the stretch of the bullet in inches, which could be done given we know its exact location relative to Trump’s head.
Something else we could check from that picture of the 'elongated' bullet is the rough angle of the shot. The bullet would have come from the left, correct? And it was shot from a rooftop, so we should expect the bullet trajectory to reflect this downward angle towards the right. If you extended the line the bullet draws towards its origin on the left, would it reach the rooftop at the correct distance? At first sight, just by looking at the picture, yes it goes down, it seems to me about right but not quite (lol) - but that's very hard to estimate just by looking at the picture so I don't trust my impression at all. Our reference point as the line of the 'horizon' is the stand, but how much is it skewed? The picture shows nothing of the bleachers on the back, which means that it was taken at a rather upward angle, so that complicates the matter. And we would need to know how elevated from the ground was Trump's head. Anyway it would be an interesting exercise to make with some 3D software or something.
Here's the picture again:
I'll add that at the moment I'm totally unconvinced that there were more shooters. The people saying there was a shooter on the water tower could have just been making an assumption, considering that the real shooter was roughly in the same direction. The bangs to the right of Trump were probably ricochets from the same shooter. And the analysis of the sound of the shots, it seems to me that there may be a number of reasons for the distortion of sound, and also, could some of those shots be from the police? They had already seen Crooks and some were aiming his way, so if they saw him shooting, they could have pulled the trigger immediately, no?
Having said that, the excuses they've given for not covering that rooftop are just ridiculous, as well as their failure to act when he was spotted and people were pointing at him. My current bet is is they knew Crooks was going to try to kill Trump and they made it easy for him. Probably a Greenbaum subject.
