I've been wondering about that. They might have a point? Not saying that the shot was faked , but maybe something was off about the ammo. Idk, the 30.06 is a fairly good size round used to hunt moose and elk, seems like it could easily pass right through a person

    30-06 is pretty much the same size round as 7.62 which is used in AK-47s. They will generally pass right through a person (Especially in soft tissue like the neck) but it’s a normal size round for shooting humans.

    Thats not wrong, but not entirely accurate, the bullet diameter is similar, but the casing size on the 30-06 is much larger and able to hold much more powered, thus giving a much higher muzzle energy. So it should do even more damage. But it also depends on the type of bullet used. FMJ vs jacked hole point vs plain soft lead.
