Anybody who thinks Oswald did this by himself needs their head examined. Carlos Hathcock, the greatest sniper in the world never could duplicate Oswald’s performance. The exit wound if shot from the back would have taken Kennedy’s face completely off. But it was intact.
Go read the New Zealand Christchurch Star paper from November 23, 1963, it’s the paper that Fletcher Prouty mentions in JFK as Mr. X. In it you will see a picture of Oswald in a dress shirt and tie. This is weird because he was arrested wearing a T-shirt, so where the Hell did that picture come from? Originally Posted by Stockinglover

the problem is the timing of the 2 and 3rd shot. it was too close together.
the carcano rifle, I understand, cannot cycle that fast between shots. I think it was 6 to 8 seconds, not sure.
Dallas Police found 3 shell casings.

In those tests, the marksmen attempted to hit the target three times within 5.6 seconds. This time span has been heavily disputed. The Warren Commission itself estimated that the time span between the two shots that hit President Kennedy was 4.8 to 5.6 seconds. If the second shot missed (assuming the first and third shots hit the president), then 4.8 to 5.6 seconds was the total time span of the shots. If the first or third shot missed, that would give a minimum time of 7.1 to 7.9 seconds for the three shots.[62] Modern analysis of a digitally enhanced Zapruder film suggests that the first, second, and final shot may have taken 8.3 seconds.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F...e#Firing_range
Many of CBS's 11 volunteer marksmen, who (unlike Oswald) had no prior experience with a properly sighted Carcano, were able to hit the test target twice in under the time allowed, although they were all afforded multiple attempts. The only man who scored three hits was firearms examiner Howard Donahue from Maryland.
