JFK skull exit hole from Hickey's AR15 at Z313.

The larger piece of skull seems to be a match to the Limo skull gif.

This is the first time that i have seen any mention that the Zapruder footage shows that chunk of spinning skull. Made my day. Good job.
I guess that the chunk shows up very well koz it bounced offa Connally's seat (& praps the limo) & then hung in the air for a while.
Has there been any mention that the small circled area possibly shows the damage/hole made by the exiting remnant of Hickey's AR15 slug?

The slug veered say 6 deg inside the skull & then made a spider crack in the windshield glass just left of the mirror.
After which the slug probly bounced backwards out of the limo & out onto the street, & was never found.
Or, it was found inside the limo, & was kept secret.

The Bronson film shows Hickey at a height such that his rifle could not go above the Queen Mary's windshield, let alone the upraised sun-visors.

Graphics from the Pat Speer site.

Line drawing of the Hickey shot from the "Mortal Error" book (flipped for
comparison purposes) and superimposed over a Bronson film frame.

The agents shown in the Bronson were seated much lower than the "Mortal Error" drawing showed. Hickey's waistline would be about the level of the car-rail.

My Bronson thread deals with this.

My Hickey thread deals with the issue of the Z313 shot clearing the windshield of the Queen Mary.

Yes, that orange line is definitely easy to achieve if Hickey was standing or nearly.
The question arises, if the slug veers 6 deg in the skull, & if the chip is an exit chip, then would that part of the skull fragment form a line to the spider crack just left of the mirror?
This analysis of Hickey's shot-line would need a model of the skull with piece insitu, with entry hole, & with exit chip, & with model of limo with spider crack on windshield.

Where is the entry hole? Where is the exit chip?

Thanks John.
The piece of skull appears to be blown precisely to where we see the rotating object.
It is immensely frustrating that at the moment of the head-shot the edge of the limo door is below the film frame as the full movement of the piece of skull can't be tracked.
However, it does appear that this piece is fired out of JFK's head at tremendous speed and then bounces upwards before falling down (although it is difficult to be sure of this)
This piece of skull can only be the large triangular piece taken to Bethseda about midnight with two other pieces, all of which were found in the limo.
Forensic Anthropologist, J. Lawrence Angel, placed this piece of bone at the front of JFK's head (No. 1 in the pic below):

I drew Hickey's Z313 shot (yellow line) using the Z312 frame. But the entry point might be at the wrong level.
The red line shows the line from the cracked windshield to a point 35 mm above JFK's right eye, which is the supposed exit point according to some doctors.
The blue line shows a more likely line from exit to windshield. I think this blue line might accord with the chip in the skull fragment. The chip shows the location of the exit. The doctors were wrong.
The top black line is a horizontal line joining the top of the windshields of the 2 limos.
The bottom black line shows the approx level of the spider crack on the jfklimo windshield.
