All right, Holly, I'll throw you some raw meat to see what the latest Full Mooner explanations are. 'Mooners like to claim that Oswald didn't have time to fire three shots, and the timing established by the Zapruder film has been their primary source for making the claim. But the time they establish is based upon a calculation using factory specs and not the Zapruder camera itself. The Zapruder camera was tested and ran slow. 'Mooner calculations are wrong because they are based on the assumption that the Zapruder camera was fresh and factory spec'd. 'Mooners like to call one of the bullets a "magic bullet". Reading even an occasional study in a gun rag on bullet behavior would disabuse 'Mooners of the notion that the bullet was "magical". 'Mooners like to argue that the bullet should have lost its shape when going through Kennedy's back and then striking Connelly. But the bullet was metal jacketed, not lead. It was a high-powered rifle round passing through soft tissue until it hit the bone in Connelly's arm. There isn't much mystery here. Dealy Plaza is small. Oswald had high ground, a slowly moving target, and time enough to fire the shots. He owned the gun. He photographed himself with it. This is the simplest explanation fitting the facts. The objectors never give us their complete story so that we can do to it what the 'Mooners like to do with this explanation.
