A Guilty Man

[Thomas Graves]

you do know that same-caliber ammunition from any single manufacturer weighs almost exactly the same from bullet to bullet, don't you?


Yes, Manufacturing specifications.... Which allows for the bullet to weigh a couple of grains more or less than the specification of 160 grains....

So, how do you know the weight of the bullet before it was fired?

Walter,

How do you know it didn't lose at least 2 grains of mass?

Because Marine Marksman Oswald was using a "crummy" high-powered rifle, and ... and ... and ... occasionally got "Maggie's Drawers" at 500 yards, and ... and ... and ... "WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE EVIL, EVIL, EVIL, CIA HAD 23 SHOOTERS IN DEALEY PLAZA / THE TSBD THAT DAY!" ?

LOL

Do you really believe CE 399 is "pristine"?

Why would the evil bastards plant a pristine bullet on Connally's stretcher?

D'oh!

CT Pulp Fiction Central starts with the assumption that CE399 couldn't have possibly traversed both victims, and then sets about to construct a scenario in which other elements were needed... complete with no-name shooters and no-name conspirators.

Bill,

And what's really amazing is that the shot from behind the picket fence didn't take out Jackie, too!

No , no, no,...Tommy...You are the one who said the bullet lost mass....  Now it's up to you to put up, or shut up .

This calls for speculation...so I'd guess that the evil bastards arrogantly thought since J. Edna Hoover and LBJ had  their back they didn't have to sweat the fine details.     And in fact their sloppiness shows through in many places.   

[John Iacoletti]

Yes!  That must be it!  And the very stable bullet that, before it was deviously switched for CE 399, had entered Kennedy's upper back at about 2100 feet per second, damaged his rib, exited his throat, entered Connally's back, exited his chest, broke his wrist, and ended up shallowly embedded in his thigh MUST have lost oodles and gobs of lead and been mutilated like a Mo-Fo, right, "Mr. Prove It"?

Cool story, bro. Too bad you can’t prove that it’s actually true.

[John Iacoletti]

Walter,

How do you know it didn't lose at least 2 grains of mass?

Predictable.

So now we’re back to Walt’s original question. How do you know that CE 399 “lost 2 to 3 grains of lead”?

Or did you just make it up?

I don’t know who that is.

But “possible in some contrived scenario” does not equal “that’s what happened”.
