I don't catalog this stuff because it's a fool's errand, but this theory started floating last week and there were countless deboonkers posting videos of that specific security guard acting similarly at previous events. It's Charlie's regular head of security.
Not to say he can't be compromised just because he's a regular, and not to say the signals can't be switched up, but it's very flimsy and basic. It makes even less sense in the context of the shot coming from his 3'oclock as opposed to down range.
That would also be terrible opsec from a professional operator knowing how many eyes and cameras were on him.
On the cellphone gun, those are only useful to about 20' or so, looks out of range... no residue mist... and other angles of video seem conclusive it was from the front, bullet entered front of the kneck/upper chest above the collar and blew out his artery. I'd only consider that type of weapon a viable theory from someone in the front few rows.
Do you know of any collection of videos somewhere? I'd really be interested in seeing them.

X is a shitshow for finding things you've seen, if you search for Kirk security on there i'm sure you'll have a field day.

Watching the video you linked above and i'm even more skeptical on that gun, the "shooter" doesn't even sight the "weapon", tantamount to a hip shot out of range.
Certainly possible he was a backup shooter, like Kennedy's driver was, but that's the best steelman for that case I can come up with

To me it looks like there's significant recoil on the gun that he's holding, right when Charlie slumps. And then there's something right before that - maybe him assembling the gun, or a misfire or something.
And what about the guy in the white baseball cap, who's holding a device that looks like a cell phone, that seems to be pointed at Charlie's neck? Maybe that's somehow related to the shooting.
It's like with magicians - it's really hard to figure out how exactly "the magic" happens...but it does happen.

Certainly anything is possible, but this is still very reach-y. I don't consider myself a firearms expert but I know my way around them and people that know more then me have not casted any doubt on it being a rifle caliber or taken from the front.
No doubt either that there is magic and trickery to these ops, but that's also why I don't care much about who pulled the trigger... that's just a pawn... the story is bigger than who was there that day.
As Bannon says, I want who killed him, not just who pulled the trigger.
Getting mired into what may or may not have happened on scene ignores the bigger questions of who set it up, why, and why now.
