Porntip: Troop killed in Don Muang clash not killed by friendly fire

[Wallenda]

Smoke? Except if you are using an old weapon at least 19th century then there is no 'smoke' when a shot is fired -> all modern weapons use smokeless powder (except if you modify one to fire a 19th or older century's round)...

 

Did you look at the video?

 

I may not know anything about weapons but I do know what a puff of smoke looks like

But did you inhale

[Wallenda]

Not at the time, but since then, yes.

 

Just had a thought. It seemed strange to me that Porntip here was saying the shot came from a gas station across the street. I look at that video and it's clear there's a puff of smoke coming from just on the side of the highway, and then immediately the motorbike goes down.

 

Someone else here said modern weapons don't produce smoke.

 

I have no idea whether that's correct or not. I know squat about weapons.

 

But a thought just occurred to me: could the puff of smoke have come from a shot (or shots) hitting the cross beam on the side of the highway? If so, it would mean either there were a few shots at that moment, or else that the shot that hit the rider of the motorcycle was a ricochet.

 

Just a thought.

 

If the shot originated from just on the side of the highway where the smoke comes from, it's an easy shot that anyone could make. If it was across the street at a gas station, as she suggests, I guess it would have to have been someone with training.
