In four decades, no sharp-shooter has ever duplicated Oswald's supposedly dead-on feat of three shots in seven seconds.

It's impossible.

A poster on another thread was saying something to the same effect. Carlos Hathcock, the top Marine sniper in Vietnam was asked about Oswald's performance and said it couldn't be done.

I have. I'm not even an sharpshooter. I know many hunters who could do that well.

It's been duplicated many times in lots of studies, some using very inexperienced shooters. What a lot of the analysis early on failed to acknowledge was that the timeline starts after the first shot is fired, as the first round would have already been chambered and ready to go.
