Trump claims he heard the bullet "wizz" past his ear. This in itself tells me that he was not struck by a bullet. Bullets do not make a wizzing sound. They are flying at supersonic speed. Bullets flying at supersonic speed make a "crack" or "snap" sound. Ask any Vietnam infantryman. They would hear the snap of the bullet before they would hear the report of the rifle.
I have been in combat and my experience is similar to what Zeke has described. When being shot around you will hear a "whiz" sound, but when you hear such you are not directly under fire, rounds are just flying around you. When you are shot at you will know, by the distinctive sound of a split second hiss immediately by a loud, sharp, deafening crack, that will damn well leave a ringing in your ear.
Ah, the sounds of the gold old, bad old days and the "crack"....."thump" as the round zipped past followed by the sound of the discharge wafting past
I find it interesting that the press are jumping on "The FBI dude is now saying he WAS hit by a bullet" which isn't actually what was said, what it was, was a well caveated statement that it could have been a bullet or a fragment which is a reiteration of Director Wrays statement “My understanding is that either it or some shrapnel is what, you know, grazed his ear.”
The real question is, even if the round had hit and purr'ed the lump of Gorgonzola that he uses for a brain..... Would anyone have been able to notice a difference?
