I misread one of your earlier posts to say 88 ft rather than 88 yards for the shots so I have miscalculated the angle. It is 20 to 25 degrees rather than about 45. I apologize for the mistake.

Debris from JFK's head would have been blasted forward at an even greater speed and flatter line from the lesser angle, however, making the likelihood of splatter back even LESS likely.

All this is quite interesting but essentially irrelevent since there has never been any evidence I have seen linking LHO to the rifle.
1) the money order used to pay for it was drawn while LHO was at work. Who drew the money order?
2) no one other than LHO was authorized to receive mail at the PO Box. Alex Hidell was NOT authorized to receive mail there.
3) the gun was ordered by Alex Hidell.
4) No one at the PO box could recall Oswald picking up ANY large package at the PO.
5) No one at the PO Box could recall Oswald picking up a rifle mailed to the box.
6) CONTRARY TO YOUR EARLIER CLAIM, no ammunition was ordered with the rifle from Kleins. WHERE did LHO/Hidell get the MC ammo? It was VERY unusual according to gunsmiths, not readily available.
7) the ammo would have been over twenty yrs. old and was poor to begin with according to experts.
8) Hidell ordered a 36" long gun. The MC found at the TBD was 40" long. NOT THE SAME GUN.
9) A gunsmith at the Aberdeen Proving Ground examined the MC and reported that the sight had been aligned as if for a left-handed person. Oswald was right handed.
10) Sharpshooters for the MC test found the bolt so difficult to operate that it skewed their aim. They also found it to have an odd trigger pull.
11) the sight was so unrelated to the rifle's line of fire, and so inexpertly attached , that IT COULD NOT EVEN BE ADJUSTED.
12) Witnesses described two shots coming almost simultaneously or even from an automatic weapon. This was impossible with the old hunk of junk purchased through Kleins. The rifle found had an worn and rusty firing pin.
13) Experts were initially reluctant to even test fire this weapon because it had a nasty habit of blowing the firing pin out into the face of the shooter. They also had trouble opening the bolt.
14) There were no fibers from the clothes Oswald wore to work on the rifle. Fibers from the shirt Oswald was wearing when arrested WERE found on the rifle indicating the frame-up was in full sway as evidence was tampered with and created by rubbing the shirt he was wearing on the gun. But it was the WRONG SHIRT.
15) This gun was part of a shipment of DEFECTIVE weapons available in lots of 25 for $3.00 each. Compare to Savage 99F at $121.50, Browning Mauser .30-06 $164.50, Winchester 70.300 caliber $134.95. This gun was TOTAL JUNK.
