  2. JFK: Was this the weapon that killed Kennedy? Lieutenant Day of the Dallas Police displaying a Mannlicher-Carcano to the press. Was this the weapon that killed Kennedy?

  3. H ow capable was this rifle as a sniper rifle ? Catalogue ad for the alleged Oswald rifle, a six-shot, clip fed, Italian carbine, which is not a high-velocity weapon. How capable was this weapon as a sniper rifle?

  5. Evidence of the bullets? Left - Bullet that Warren Commisson claimed struck both President Kennedy and Governor Connally, the magic bullet. Centre - Bullet fired through a cadaver’s wrist. Right - Bullet fired into cotton.

  6. Direction of the head shot? The shot from the rear - was it ascending or descending? When the Warren Commission Drawing [right above] is turned so that President Kennedy is in the same position shown in frame 312 of the Zapruder Film, the path of the bullet is rising not descending, as it would if fired from the sixth floor of the Book Depository Building.

  7. The Police Outriders. Zapruder Film, Frame 242. The fatal shot splattered two motorcycle officers, Bobby Hargis and B.J. Martin, with pieces of skull and blood and brain matter. Hargis was struck so hard that he said, “I thought at first I might have been hit.” New York Daily News, 24 November, 1963.

  8. CIA Re-enactments: How accurate were they? The FBI failed to use the Presidential Limousine in their re-enactment. Yet the Warren Commission claimed the re-enactment supported the Single Bullet Theory, even though, when viewed through a telescopic sight from the sixth floor window, the wounds of the President and the Governor did not line up.

  9. CIA Re-enactments. The Warren Commission rifle test was conducted from a 30 foot [9 metres] tower at the Army’s Ballistics Research Laboratory at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. The sixth floor window of the Book Depository Building is 60 feet [18 metres] above ground.
