Harry Whittington Shooting Ballistics Tested, Cheney shot at Whittington from 15 feet not 90 as claimed


Infowars | February 16, 2006
By Alex Jones

Ballistics Test Video

What do you guys think? Alex Jones isn't an expert in ballistics, nor is he a scientist, but what he does uncover is quite interesting. Hopefully he'll attract real experts in conducting closed expierement testing.
BS.

If he'd shot at him from 15 feet, and peppered him the way he did, it would have KILLED Wittington. Period.

This story is crap.
Your missing the point. The only way to have had the bird shot penetrate into Wittington as deep as it has, it would have had to be 15 to 20 feet or what range Alex Jones said. If Cheney shot him at the given story of 90 feet, the bird shot would have just ricocheted off of him, or at the most penetrate just milimeters beneth the skin. NOT through layers of bone, muscle, and tissue. The fact that Wittington is alive means he's a very lucky man. Esspecially when bird shot reaches his heart.

When I posted this I thought it was just Alex Jones out in the desert with a shotgun and his trusty camera man. But actually he had a number of different experts with him, including an engineer and someone that is experienced in military and police work, which all support Alex Jones' conclusions.
Fair enough.

But how come SOME of the shot simply pelted his face, while some of it apparently lodged into his chest? What's the explanation for that?

I suppose the conspiracy theorists will now start saying that there were multiple gun-shots.


One thing we have to remember is that there are MANY different "loads" for shotgun shells. There are also different strengths of charge. Therefore, you MUST use the same shotgun and the same shells in order for this "test" to be even remotely accurate. Somehow, I have my doubts that this was done.
