I saw on a special years ago that an FBI firearms expert only got the rifle to fire correctly once, and the possibility that the rifle could perform accurately and quickly was almost nil. However, a special on ABC (I think) used a computer model to show how Oswald's perfect marksmanship from the book depository could have made the shots happen with the exact angle, accuracy, and timing. So, I guess it was physically possible to make bullets go that direction but, in reality, could have gun have done the deed? According to ABC, computer models never lie. Ergo, the lone gunman theory held tight for another decade.

I figure Crappy rifle + misattached crappy scope + crappy out-of-practice shooter + crappy old ammo + crappy shooting angle = BULLSEYE
Now what could be wrong with that equation?

The FBI shot Oswald's rifle 60 times. There was nothing mechanically wrong with the rifle. It's accuracy was no different than other rifles of it's era. There's no indication when the scope was misaligned. It could very well have happened when it was hidden between the boxes. There was very little time between the shooting and when Oswald was seen in the breakroom.
