To: Pistolshot; y'all
Pistolshot:
Here's my analysis and what looks more to what the evidence suggests.
Frame 202
A few frames before the first shot is fired. Notice the girl in the pink sweater at the top of the picture. Keep her in mind. Also notice the clarity of the picture, steady and fairly focused. Remember Zapruder has a fear of heights and is being supported by his secratary on the pedastal in the park area.
The First Shot(My opinion) Frame 203
The picture is now a blur as Zapruder reacts to the shot and the camera jiggles.

Fine. Start the clock on a 2.3 second cycle of the rifles action [the W.C. 'best speed'] correlated with the Z-film camera speed of 18.3 frames per second. Say 42 frames to cycle the action. The second shot could not occur before frame 245.

Frame 205. The follow up car and the girl in the sweater. Back in focus. The girl in the pink sweater is reacting to a sound from behind her. The follow up car is also starting to react and notice the proximity to the limo itself. Kennedy is disappearing behind the sign.
Frame 225.
Out from behind the sign Kennedy is still reacting to the first shot. His mouth is open in surprise and Connally is begining his turn to the right to look behind him.
The 2nd Shot(My opinion). Frame 227


Again, fine, - if this is when the second shot occurred, we would have to backtrack at least 42 frames, placing the first shot at frame 185, minimum. - And as, according to the Report, Oswalds view was blocked by the tree from frame 166 to 190, this presents a timeline problem.

Again the camera jiggles from the reaction to the sound of the gunshot. Kennedy is begining to react, Connaly looks as if he has turned completely to his right in the space of milliseconds, indicating he is also hit. Frame 229. Both men react to the shot.
Both men are now reacting . Kennedy, shot through the neck has suffered a possibly fatal wound. This bullet has entered his back just below the collar line and exited out his throat. It has also damaged his neck causing the reaction seen here. Both arms are locked in place in reaction to the damage at this point.
Frame 228 Both men react.
Kennedy is clearly hit, Connaly his right shoulder slumping is about to react from a collaped lung. This is where CE399 went through both men. Connaly sitting lower and inboard in the jumpseat in front of the president is in a direct line to the TSBD.
Frame 235 The reaction continues.
Connaly is now slumped fully to his right as the lung collapses. Kennedy will be locked in this position until the fatal headshot. There is a medical term for this position after an injury to the spine. I will find the name if you'd like.


No need, as [according to your own first shot at Frame 203 timeline] it is still a full 10 Frames before a shot could be made by even the fastest expert rifleman the Commission could find.

Frame 265 Connaly collapses, Kennedy is paralyzed. This frame shows Connaly completely turned to his right and about to be pulled into his wife's arms. Kennedy has become paralyzed, fists clenched, arms upright and locked, and sitting upright due to the brace he wore for his back injury from WW2 and surgery to help alleviate the pain. This brace will hold him up to die. Frame 311 Jackie leans in. Jackie is leaning in trying to see what is wrong and pushing on Kennedy's arm to lower it. Connaly is in his wife Nellie's arms and out of the line of sight. Jackie is terribly close to the path of the last and final shot.
Frame 313 The Fatal Headshot.
John Patrick Kennedy receives the fatal wound.
Having visited Dealy Plaza on a number of occasions I have walked the entire length and area in the Zapruder film. We are talking maybe 30-40 yards of distance for all this to happen. There is a gentle slope aweay from the TSBD and accounts for much of the angles of fire into the limo carrying the entourage.


I too have walked the area, and doubt that the angle of the first shot could ricochet [off a tree?] to strike the curb down by the underpass.

Frame 318 The head snap.
The reason Kennedy's head snaps back is the brace he is wearing. It was designed to keep his upper body rigid for extended periods such as a motorcade. When the fatal shot was fired all motor control ceased as his brain was pulverized and the motor areas disintegrated. Arms dropped and the body was snapped in place by the brace.
Three shots. All by Oswald. Acting alone.

Yep, three spaced and aimed shots [2.3 seconds apart, min.] are your problem. - Obviously, you can't correlate them to the Z-films timeline, so they remain the problem, as it is virtually impossible that Oswald, acting alone, pulled them off.

Your error in calculation (whether deliberate or unintentional) is the problem here. We've gone over this with you plenty of times, tpaine.

The first shot was ready in waiting and started the clock. The second shot was taken at the instant Oswald cycled the action and aimed in. He took his time for the third shot. Approximately 8.3 to 8.5 seconds in total. It's plenty of time to cycle two shots with a free trigger pull to start the timer. It's been replicated by the WC investigators, the HCSA investigators, the FBI, the military, NRA High Power competition shooters of several ranks, and private individuals. Equalled or bettered in time and terminal performance. Over and over and over and over and over.

You just continue to maintain the old 'Oswald couldn't possibly have shot that fast!' timing scenario when it's been proven that it's just flat wrong.

That's all we can really say to you on this issue. Your numbers are just wrong.
