How the AR-15 Became Mass Shooters' Weapon of Choice

The Trajectory Analysis (of both the AR-15 bullet and the NYTimes)

Quote: “A key piece of evidence in The Times’s analysis is a live video feed that captures Mr. Trump’s reaction…” 

This reaction (to pain) is the same, be it the bullet or the shrapnel, or something else. Trump himself would not be able to distinguish between them.
Quote: “The model and the trajectory analysis show that the bullet traveled in a straight line from the gunman to the bleachers, clipping Mr. Trump on its path. This suggests the bullet was not deflected by first striking an object that would have then sprayed Mr. Trump with debris.”
This “trajectory analysis” does not prove that it was a bullet. We still do not know what it was. It also does not explain, how and why this object produced a rather superficial wound, a “nothing”, as Fauci put it. The AR-15 shots are described as producing the “massive and extensive tissue damage”.

Jun 18, 2017 — Every bullet that is longer than it is wide has the potential to yaw (twist or oscillate about a vertical axis), and then tumble while travelling through flesh (or gel). EVERY bullet.

The side comments: What happened to the NYTimes, the “paper of record”? Has it become the paper of disinformation?
However, I am not a specialist, by all means.
Let the good, experienced specialists in weaponry and ballistics examine this important point about the bullet vs shrapnel vs other objects and render their opinions.
