The show goes beyond the previous documentary as the producers go to Australia to get an expert shooter to attempt to duplicate the magic bullet, the shot that hit both JFK and Governor Connally. The shots they fire are aimed at figures composed of material which act like human muscle and bone when a bullet is fired into them.

Saw that show. Was very impressed.

Saw that show (Beyond the Magic Bullet). Was very impressed.

The show on the surface is convincing but it is WRONG. The first reason and the simplest to understand is that the last bullet fired on the show is the one that passed through JFK and then hit two of Connally's ribs. The show argues that since the bullet hit two ribs instead of one, that it lost too much kinetic energy to penetrate Connally's left leg.

The major hole in that whole scenario is that there was a bullet FRAGMENT in Connally's left leg, not a bullet hole. Time after time on today's documentaries the researchers describe a bullet penetrating his left leg.

That's NOT what happened. IT was a bullet fragement. And the show said it didn't have enough energy left to fragment after it left Connally's wrist.

Superficially impressive, I read many of the comments on the web about the show, but what they supposedly duplicated did not happen.
