Larry Q:" FBI tested the assassination bullet against the gun they found in the woods.. "

I'm wondering the same thing. I still believe it was a low velocity round. what size I don't know. but the sound alone is enough for me.

I watched the video of the bullet hitting Kirk's shirt collar just bellow the wound. The shirt blew upward that was what i first noticed. Then "bouncing" up to hit his neck.
I believe the bullet resistant shirt reflected the bullet to hit his jugular. If it penetrated at the location it hit his collar he would've had a far better chance.

It was clearly a bullet resistant T-shirt you can see the inserts bulge up behind him(other videos) and in the front.

According to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards, “para-aramid” fabrics, such as Kevlar, without a ballistic insert are typically classified as a Level I or sometimes referred to in relation to their capability against certain threats, but specifically:

Level I is defined for providing protection against9mm (full metal jacket) and .357 Magnum (semi jacketed, wadcutter) ammunition.

If they're claiming it's a .30-06 regular velocity then it's a farce. As you can see the dark mark on the shirt without a hole.

I do see a hole from a bullet in the collar of the T-shirt. I'm not sure I understand the trajectory of the round.
I have to think about it.

Pretty sure he had a metal plate under the shirt. Level 1 would just have been holed by an .06.
