Thanks for the info. May I ask a few more questions?
Could the Carcano have been fired in 2.3 seconds?
If the FBI said it could not have been fired accurately in that time, doesn’t that imply that it could have been fired, just not accurately? If it couldn’t be fired that quickly, why not just say that?
If it could have been fired that quickly, how could the FBI determine that it couldn’t have been fired accurately? Would it have been impossible to hit the target or just some degree of unlikely?
Would Oswald have tried to fire in 2.3 seconds? Grant there was urgency before they got JFK to safety. Grant his adrenaline would have been flowing. Would it have made sense for him to take more time to try for a more accurate shot? Or does this fall into the realm of who the heck knows what he was thinking?
All I know is that the Bing search revealed the Carano could not be fired with accuracy in 2.3 seconds, as determined by the FBI that tested the actual weapon.
I’m guessing, but I suspect a person could cycle the bolt getting the spent cartridge out and a new one into the camber and pull the trigger in 2.3 seconds.
But never, never could he acquire a target with a scope that is moving and get in a perfect shot, all within that 2.3 seconds.
The only way to prove or disprove this is to have the same model of rifle, with the same scope, shooting at a head sized target at the same range, moving the same speed. The person doing this should have the same skill level as Oswald.
For this test, something needs to be done to get the adrenaline factor going too. That unto itself makes an inexperienced shooter frigidity.
Seriously, I’m sticking to my belief he was not a lone shooter, if he was a shooter at all. He was tested for gun shot residue and none could be found. He said he was a patsy but the cleanup crew whacked him before he could explain himself.
