I don't believe there is no exit wound. I believe there is some erroneous reporting going on. I deer hunted with a 30-06 for over 40 years and harvested about 4 dozen deer. I've never shot a deer that the bullet didn't create a large exit wound regardless of what part of the anatomy it entered.
I've seen a closeup frontal video of the bullet hitting Kirk in the left front of his throat. It appeared to hit the carotid artery and a fountain of blood gushed out. I feel certain the bullet passed completely through his neck and struck something behind him. The only reason I can think of that it wouldn't pass through is the possibility that the bullet didn't have a full load of powder or what is called a squib in the shooting world. However without a full load of powder the bullet likely would have dropped fast and missed the target.
The only other possibility if there is no exit wound IMO is that the shooter used a frangible bullet. You can look that up.

Yes, the miracle of Newtonian physics.
The bullet entered his neck, along a steep downward trajectory (shooter was well above him), sliding down vertebrae bone.
Congressman Kolvet attributed it to a miracle, and the impressive health of his bones, kind of like a man of steel.
It should have gone through and through said Congressman Kolvet, totally ignoring the laws of Physics, and trajectory.
Congressman Kolvet also said It likely would have killed those standing behind him too. Once more ignoring facts, specifically that there was no one behind him.
What else is Congressman Kolvet not an expert on.
Violence never solved any problems, but it also doesn't alter the laws of physics. And reality.
If Kirk had worn a bullet proof vest, it would not have mattered either. The shooter aimed at the neck, and he seems to have known exactly what's going to happen to the bullet. 2nd amendment in action.
