So why does his head snap back hard on the last shot?

Wouldn't the momentum of the bullet carry his head forward?

My uncle and my high school shop teacher were both shot by foreign enemies and survived. Both said the impact threw them in the direction of the shot and that the impact felt like they had been hit by a major league slugger with a big bat.

Actually it did initially but when the Presidents head exploded the physics of the head and brain parts jetting forward would move the head backward.

The physics is complicated and above my pay grade but I'm sure you can search the net and find a good explanation.

Did 1/3 of their skull explode out through the wound?

You know, I think there might be a little bit of difference between a flesh wound and a slug through the skull.

See the drawing in my post at 30.

I don't believe the impact of the shot had anything to do with it. I believe it was a neurological reaction. Look at Jackie and Connelly at the same frames and they react too.

At one time I had thought that Jackie had shoved him back as she reacts but after watching it for hours, I noticed she didn't have her hands positioned to do that.
