Can anybody provide proof of a successful reenactment of Oswald's feat?

[Martin Weidmann]

When I have to correct you on something so basic, there isn't much point in saying something else because you probably wouldn't understand it anyway.
> Sticks & stones, big shot. Now stop dodging.
> The term certainly is basic to you and your species, isn't it now

But don't worry. I won't hold your limited intelligence against you.
> Still waiting for you to say something important, big shot.

Are you talking to me?

Points to Ponder:

It's impossible to replicate two very closely fired shots like the first and second shots with an old-fashioned gun as was supposedly used. I'm not a big fan of the witness statements because many people were not expecting this to happen [obviously] so they heard and saw this is not entirely accurate. But Connally swore until the day he died that the first shot was not the one that hit him. And the Z film backs this up.

Pat Speer did a good job of researching and finding that it'd be next to impossible for Oswald to have gone down the stairs immediately after the shooting and to have not been seen by one of the black co-workers. Look it up on his site.

There were shooting reenactments on a CBS TV special from back in the 60s and none of these so-called sharpshooters could replicate Oswald's amazingly accurate shooting...but equally amazing miss.

But speaking of the miss, I do speculate that the Tague "chips on the cheek" story could not be 100% accurate. I find it very hard to believe that a shot hit that far off target, causing the chips to fly up.

Oswald didn't have to match a predetermined firing time

[Martin Weidmann]

My intent wasn't to claim authorship in either case.
I apologied to Bill Brown for that particular unforced error

I recall an earlier plagiarism claim by you against me about a Bugliosi line that is arguably the most prominent line in assassination lore. In fact, I did argue that very point at the time.

I have no intent to claim authorship of what other people write at any time.
I apologized to Bill Brown during that period

I remember your attempt to claim plagiarism against me on a Bugliosi term that is arguably the most well-known in assassination lore. In fact, I made that exact argument at the time.

So did Senator and WC member Richard Russell.

LBJ and Russell September 9,1964:

RUSSELL: No, no, They're trying to prove that the same bullet that hit Kennedy first was the one that hit Connally,
went through him and through his hand, his bone and into his leg... I couldn't hear all the evidence and cross-examine
all of 'em. But I did read the record...I was the only fellow there that...suggested any change whatever in what the
staff got up. This staff business always scares me. I like to put my own views down. But we got you a pretty good report.

LBJ: Well, what difference does it make which bullet got Connally?

RUSSELL: Well, it don't make much difference. But they said that...the commission believes that the same bullet that
hit Kennedy hit Connally. Well I don't believe it.

LBJ: I don't either

RUSSELL: And so I couldn't sign it. And I said that Governor Connally testified directly to the contrary and I'm not
gonna approve of that. So I finally made 'em say there was a difference in the commission, in that part of 'em believed
that that wasn't so. And 'course if a fellow was accurate enough to hit Kennedy right in the neck on one shot and knock
his head off in the next one-and he's leaning up against his wife's head-and not even wound her-why, he didn't miss
completely with that third shot. But according to their theory, he not only missed the whole automobile, but he missed
the street! Well, a man that's a good enough shot to put two bullets right into Kennedy, he didn't miss that whole
automobile.
