That was only on one particular occasion, though. I would expect an assassin to utilize multiple methods. What happens if someone's running and you only know how to plant bombs?

There's also the "warpylol" and "d in aphid" tags to consider.

I was only referencing what we know for a fact about Warpylol. I'm sure that he is experienced in many methods of disposal, but she asked if we had any history regarding him and the use of guns. All we know for sure about him is that, on one occasion, he used a bomb of some sort to attempt to kill Brother.

I think some ppl may be confusing Warpylol with Brother during the assasination of Gemma and need it clarified that it was actually Brother that sniped Gemma.

But as far as we've seen yes, Ziola's right we only know of Warpylol's bomb attempt on Brother.

I understood that you were responding to the question about what he's been known to do in the past. I was addressing the part where you said you think it suggests that this wasn't War Pylol. Sorry for any confusion.

HA. i was just watching CSI and ME robbins said that traditionally .22's were the choice weapon of hired hitmen because the bullet was powerful enough to go in, but usually didnt make it all the way through the body so it would just ricochet around inside of a person.

gross, huh?

the lightweight of the bullet makes it able to bounce off bones easily... fucking up a persons insides

I've been thinking that a .22 was a very sloppy choice in this hit, so that is why I've been debating if it was Warpy.

However! After examining the Warpy video and Maddy's video, it is the same place. And it is the most logical connection between them. So the possibility still stands, I believe.

i dont know if this was mentioned, or if its even true for that matter, and im too tired to verify it or read the other pages, but i heard somewhere that a .22 makes an excellent weapon for an assasination attemt. the bullet supposedly enters the skull, but then quickly loses velocity and bounces around in the cranium, rather than a "through and through" shot. this causes more damage to the brain, basically shredding everything in its path while its bouncing around in there...

(ya i watch CSI, whatcha gonna do about it?!?! 8) )

it was just mentioned a couple posts above.

While yea it causes more damage, it also leaves the most evidence. So ... damage wise it's a great tool.

But stealth wise, it's horrible.

I still don't see how a .22 leaves more evidence, but in any case, he clearly wasn't worried about leaving evidence behind, as we are assuming he posted the video himself.

What do you mean by "it's the same place?" Which Maddy video are you talking about?
