Charlie Kirk Rifle

Post by ColdStart » 19 Sep 2025, 9:24 pm

So there has been a lot of talk online about the rifle Tyer Robinson allegedly used to shoot and kill Charlie Kirk.

Its a Mauser M18 30-06.

Can people guess what the conspiracy theory is about with it?

I did see something about him supposedly having it concealed in his rather small backpack.

Yeah that too, also its been claimed it was carried down his pant leg and he walked with a limp due to it.

But the conspiracy theory I am talking about is based on this picture, people are saying its faked and not the rifle used due to the picture, can you guess why? does something not seem right to you or others?

Scope for that distance.

But it’s just a photo of any rifle.

I just want to know why he shot him in the throat. I am assuming he aimed for the throat as some sort of message to silence him. Speaking, voice box, throat etc.

Killing someone for voicing their opinion is terrible. Bad speech is defeated by good speech. If you do not like someone's argument then come up with a better argument.

I liked Charlie, he was a freedom loving patriot.

I think he just aimed centre mass. I don't believe he was any kind of marksman.

There's a lot of pics of him with guns. I think he was a bit of a gun nut.
I think he was aiming for a head shot.

Maybe he was nervous and aimed for the head and flinched. Surely the rifles was zeroed. It was only like 150m so very easy shot for a 30-06 on a still target.

His head was his centre mass

Robinson was a top student and had spent a life around firearms so I expect he hit where he was aiming, neck shot is a kill shot.

The rifle was Mauser 98 30-06, originally his grandfathers and handed down to him, it also looks most likely that he had the barreled action down 1 side of his body on the way to the shooting and the stock possibly attached to his other side. Robinson only fired the 1 round and the rifle was discovered in a nearby park with the case still in the chamber.

The rifle pictured is most definitely not an M18, having owned one, the rear part of the receiver is wrong, so is the bolt and stock, just looks like a sportetized 98

I have seen a comment that suggested the projectile hit the chest guard as point of impact, and that fragments then hit further up. No idea of thye accuracy of this. No pun intended.

Just a wild guess but even if it had been zeroed, would taking it down to facilitate concealment have spoiled the bedding and therefore the POI? If that is so, could that be why his target was hit in the neck, instead of the head or centre of the chest??

This is possible I guess, however Police did find Paper targets with holes and fired cases at his place of residence. Robinson was a lifetime gun fanatic and Utah is 1 of the best hunting states in the US with a small population and big space with so many huntable species. It was reported that he bragged to a work colleague back in 2023 that he had pulled off a 450yd shot, heck thats some sort of shooting. A 130m shot would have been pretty straight forward

The conspiracies online relate to the following

The mounting position of the scope is to far back and would result in Scope Bite?

The scope mounting just seems wrong, see the front mount barley hanging on. (but would need to be mounted like this due to scope size and clearance of the bolt handle this is my thoughts)

That both JFK and Kirk where shot with a Mauser, but that was later changed to another rifle.

That a neck shot from 125 metres away is odd.

I agree, it doesn't look like a M18, as you said and I agree with a sportetized 98

Interesting that he claimed to his tranny/furry lover that the rifle was important to his grandad and he needed to get it back, when from the pictures is some cheap garbage rifle.

Cold start the scope is mounted a far back as possible and yes looks weird but this is a long action Mauser and the scope seems to be a compact one.

The last fallow I shot was at over 300m was and I chose a neck shot with my thermal on 7x power.

I have no idea what he was thinking, but he was using a cartridge that had plenty of energy, wind was not an issue due to shooting down into an amphitheatre like structure and from the limited info he knew his way around a rifle, not some numpty.

I wasn't asking what you thought he was thinking, that an unknown unless you in your in your early 20's and like f***ing guys dressed as ferries, I was asking if you would do a neck shot in the same circumstance as you seem to imply with you post about shooting fallow in the neck their fine so this was also?

Neck shots are a quick kill, clearly this guy has some hunting skills, he is from a Republican state and is born and bred Red and appears to be either gay or Bisexual. I cant answer your question as to what shot I would choose, not something I've thought of. What is a ferries ??

There appeared to be no obvious blood splatter on the white backing, that could explain the bullet deflecting off a vest, as was mentioned.

I would imagine Utarh is a desert hunting state where they shoot long range, but even snipers with a big rifle don't go for neck shots.
A headshot to avoid vest is a possibility, but a headshot hitting low would still send lots of blood splatter.

I have no idea what went down and didn't see the film clips.
Cops cleaned it al up quickly as well.

This you ?

If i was you, i shouldn't come up here, especially with the comments that you have made in the past (see pictured)where you are clearly supporting the democrat anti-trump and also anti-guns rethorics, in fact i believe you are a part of the same group that got charlie kirk murdered and are celebrating his death in one form or others, you have blood in your hands.
