Bombshell new information reveals assailants were 253 feet away from their target, Donald Trump, when they opened fire.

(SQAUK) — The shooter is approximately 253.5 feet away (84.5 yards) when you hear the gunshot report 0.22 seconds after the sonic crack of the bullet passing by the podium microphone where Donald Trump was standing at the time he was shot, regardless of the bullet’s weight (grain). This is because the delay is solely based on the time it takes for the sound to travel the distance from the shooter to the target at the podium mic.

The bullet’s specific velocity affects the time it takes the projectile to reach its target but not the time it takes for the sound to travel from the shooter to the target after you hear the bullet’s sonic crack. Therefore, using a 77-grain bullet versus a 50-grain bullet would not change the distance calculation of 253.5 feet based on the 0.22-second delay.

Lighter bullets in the same caliber tend to have higher velocities, while heavier bullets have lower velocities. This relationship is essential for understanding ballistics and choosing the correct ammunition for specific applications, such as hunting or target shooting. But again, velocity does not affect the distance a shooter is away from the target when analyzing sound wave data.

Sound travels in waves through the air with consistent definable characteristics. Ambient temperature and elevation can affect the speed at which sound travels and must be factored into the equation. Sound travels further at sea level and in heat. The temperature was 92 degrees Fahrenheit at the rally that day.
