Acoustic analysis confirms shooter was near ground-level, ~70-90ft away — not a rooftop.
Crack–bang intervals across all recordings: 0.08–0.14s = 70–90 ft distance
(speed of sound @ 82°F = 1141 ft/s)
Closest audio clip shows total crack/bang overlap, impact clear = <100 ft Image
With each clip, all of them reflect a crack/bang that aligns with that 70-90ft distance band.
Some examples
The one showcasing two waveforms is especially telling, as both of these clips not only were the most defined, but they also happened to both be recorded on balcony level. Image

Observations:
Clearest separation compared to other angles
Bang is CLEARLY visible as a distinct event around 0.21-0.22
Complex echo pattern starting at .35, consistent with courtyard acoustics
Being above shot origin in both cases means more direct audio path, less obstruction
This distant balcony recording is golden because:
Far enough for clear separation
Close enough for strong signal
Different angle provides triangulation
Despite the further distance, timing still PERFECTLY aligns with 70-90ft (shooter->Charlie)
So with this :
70-90ft confirmed
Flash captured near ground level matches timing
Wound trajectory (rear-right → front-left) fits origin within this band provided by these results

AND:

Rooftop theory fails: would require 0.37s delay @ 130 m (426 ft) + MUCH louder report Image
Image
I try to avoid speculating on much other than what can be proven, but given the audio overall I'd be confident in assuming:
Suppressed intermediate cartridge (.300 Blackout)
Supersonic crack + reduced muzzle blast
SIG MCX/Q Honey Badger fit profile (compact, accurate @ 70-90ft
Math + physics don’t lie:
Real numbers (crack–bang, sound speed, distance)

Cross-checks against MULTIPLE independent recordings to account for echo/reflections

Matches visual evidence ("flash", wound trajectory).
