Forensic ballistics is a very inexact science. Like I said, I work in the firearms industry, I am working now because I work for an essential defense industry employer. I make, test and shoot gun barrels. I can just use my own experience shooting rifles of virtually every caliber, from .17 to 20mm to say that projectile, and the circumstances of its discovery strikes me as phony.

Also, the killshot from the Zapruder film was fired from the front, and was not from a 6.5 Carcano.

“Also, the killshot from the Zapruder film was fired from the front, and was not from a 6.5 Carcano.”

No. The entry wound in the back of JFK’s head, and is well known from the autopsy photos, with the bullet shattering inside the skull and blowing out the right side of his head.

JFK’s head goes backwards because that was the direction of the shot. The entry wound produces almost no energy transferred to the body. The exit wound is what causes the head to move backwards. Penn and Teller (of all people) demonstrated this by shooting bullets at melons, and seeing which direction they moved after the bullet hit them. The melons moved in the direction OF the shooter, not away from it.

The entry wound does nothing, the exit wound transfers kinetic energy to the body.

I’m arguing from memory based on the book I mentioned, which I haven’t read recently. But that’s the gist of it.

"Like I said, I work in the firearms industry..."

Your experience isn't relevant to this specific shot. It has been replicated, with similar damage to the bullet.

"Also, the killshot from the Zapruder film was fired from the front, and was not from a 6.5 Carcano."

That's not what the evidence says.

Not even close. The exit wound would have blown the back of Kennedys head off. Autopsy show entry wound at the base or the skull and exiting out the top right hand side explaining why his head explosed. This isnt animal hunting btw where you shoot a deer and have to find it 700 yeads away. Straped to a seat and hit head from the rear, went back and to the left. I’ve scene to many recreated JFK ballistic specials to know that was the shot, from the rear. Thank that commie asshole Mark Lane trying to defend another commie asshole LHO with his bullsh!t conspiracy theorys. If you can find it, get ‘Recaliming History’ by Vincent Beulosi. The #1 hands down best theory debunker. Even takes on the mafia Jack Ruby connection and debunks it. Very detailed and intelligently thought out.
