This is how the rifle was gotten into the building

[Thomas Graves]

Yer FOS Chappie.....  Copper is one of the most malleable of metals.....It does not shatter or disintegrate when it is used as a jacket for the lead core of a bullet UNLESS the nose of the bullet isn't covered by the copper jacket.   But as in the case of the FULL METAL JACKET  160 grain Carcano bullet the copper jacket covers all but the base of the projectile..      Yer so FOS that you will argue that CE 399 passed through many bones that are harder and more dense than a human skull but THAT  FULL METAL JACKETED bullet remained nearly pristine.     Yer not the sharpest knife in the drawer are ya, Chappie.??

Walter,

Do round-point, 160 grain, full-metal-jacket bullets NEVER fragment when striking a male human skull at about 1900 feet per second from a slightly elevated firing position?

This one did.

Neither is your fantasy that Oswald created a bag that was too small because he didn’t know how long the rifle was.

It's not a "fantasy": it's a "possibility".

In other words, not evidence either.

So great, then “contrived excuse” is another possibility.

No, it did not....   You in your ignorance believe that it did, but your belief isn't based on facts.

This is the same Mr Lidell who thinks that a shorter-than-a-rifle bag is not a problem but a longer-than-a-rifle box is a deal-breaker!

I'm just sharp enough to notice that you are deciding for yourself what I'm arguing

Yes, I've noticed the point...... You should get a different hat.

[Bill Chapman]

You should stop swigging bleach.

You've doubled down on your ignorance once again:
1) Head shot: Cavitation created the explosive effect. That's the point.
2) Back/Neck-junction inshoot: FMJ ammo is designed to remain intact when passing through human flesh.

Now let's see you lot squish your heads to the extent that the butt-end portion of CE399 was, and still call it pristine.

Only an idiot would propose that two identical bullets fired just seconds apart from the same rifle  would react entirely differently when they struck.

What's your IQ Chappie?
