“The official Warren Commission inquiry into the shooting concluded the following year that Oswald was a lone gunman who fired three shots with a Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle in 8.3 seconds.

But when the Italian team test-fired the identical model of gun, they were unable to load and fire three shots in less than 19 seconds”

Union testers.

Pretty sure there has been more then one recreation of the shots taken on discovery or history channel, maybe both.

They showed it could be done.

"Union testers"

LOL!

I think 3 shots could easily be done in 8.3 seconds. It's the returning to aimpoint 3 times and hitting a moving target that would be the challenge.

"Union testers."

Yeah, so Government workers are less efficient, and Union workers are even more than less efficient.

Why don't we let you prove that the Warren Commission was right about Oswald's capacity to fire three shots in 19 seconds.

Then we'll all know the truth.

It is difficult to fire a rifle three times when you are trained to put up both hands after the first shot.

[CdMGuy]

It took them 19 seconds to fire off three rounds. What did they do, take a siesta between rounds. Hell, I am not a rifleman, but even I could fire off three rounds from a bolt action rifle in 19 seconds, especially if I had it all propped up and aimed. What they are saying is after he fired the first round at 0 seconds, he would need to take an additional 19 seconds to fire off the next two.

Makes me ashamed to admit I am half Italian ancestry.

That is crap. There isn't a bolt action made, including single shots, that I can't fire three rounds accruately from in 9 seconds.

I once shot a large buck in a trot, he jumped in the air, and I shot him again as he was coming down with a Remington 700. Both shots hit within 1/2 inch of each other.

I just watched Penn & Teller’s Bullshit and Penn was able to fire the same gun 3 times in about 4 seconds. And Penn isn’t even a trained marine.

Italian testers. It also speaks to 20th Century Italian military success, or lack thereof. They’re really good at pulling wine corks, though.

[bigjoesaddle]

LOL! EXCELLENT!

I saw a report on tv as a kid
They had a gut up in a tower with the same make rifle and distance. He fired 3 shots as fast as he could while trying to hit the target.
They couldn't do it. The fellow shooting was an expert shoot and even said it had to be more then on shooter
