In this frame you can see the impact and the bullet exiting from the rear. In bullet wounds, alot of the carnage occurs upon impact. Especially in tangential impacts. The fact nevertheless remains that he recoiled from the front. Jackie didn't push him back, he was slammed back.

This photo shows no such thing. Entrance wounds rarely show as much trauma as exit wounds. What the photo shows is hydrostatic shock causing the front right part of the skull to explode outwards.

If you watch the film or look at the photo sequence posted, you can see that JFK actually dips forward at the impact of the bullet, then recoils back.

Bullet impact will not move a man sized target much. I've shot Jackrabbits with large caliber rifles delivering over 3,000 ft/lb of energy. They rarely move much parallel with the bullets path. There will be a large pattern of spray around the impact area.

What the photos and the film show is a shot from the rear.

No one can see the bullet exit. It fragmented inside the president's head. ALL of the material from the exit wound explosively sprays out in an arc to the right front, up above the president's head, and below his chin. Look at the enlargement of frame 313 also provided.

Holy cow! I've never heard anyone say this before. You mean you can actually see the bullet in this photo?
