If that were true, there would have been people turning their heads toward the sound of the rifle and scurrying for safety (regardless of where it came from) before the next shot was fired. A careful examination of the frames will show no crowd activity. If a shot was fired before Zapruder re-started his camera, there should have been noticeable movement by the crowd until the next shot was fired.

There was a motorcade passing through the plaza and a large crowd cheering the President. The rifle shot was not loud enough in those conditions to attract attention.

Could be, but what makes you think the noise level diminished as the motorcade progressed? We're only talking about 18 Seconds. Seems to me once they realized they were gunshots, the noise level would have picked up because of people screaming and scurrying about.

Even so, the number of shots fired in the film were not hard to hear, as they identified both shots, and possibly a third, if one was only an echo. (The questionable one on the Police Department recorder picked up from the motorcyle cop's microphone, which was inadvertently left keyed.)

But I wasn't there, so can't speak with authority. Just guessing like everyone else. The number of theories we have on this is comensurately higher depending on who has the most information and how well they are able to integrate it.

I think it's humorous, personally. Everyone thinking they have better logic or have secret info nobody else has. Heh.
