A CONSPIRACY THEORIST SAID:
>>> "How do Lone [Assassin] Theorists reconcile that one of the bullets allegedly used by Oswald smashed through two men, their clothes and broke bones and came out the other end virtually unscathed, with no bodily fluids on it (and with its grooves intact - a miracle event against all odds) and the other bullet allegedly used by Oswald on Kennedy disintegrated on impact? How could two bullets supposedly the same react in such a different fashion from each other?" <<<
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
It's been proven that MC/WCC ammunition WILL react in just exactly the
same general ways that Lee Harvey Oswald's two bullets did on November
22, 1963. Bullet tests were done by Dr. Olivier for the Warren
Commission, and even better tests were done by John Lattimer using
Oswald's ammunition:
And then there's the test bullet from the 2004 program "JFK: Beyond
The Magic Bullet", which generally looks the same as CE399 -- i.e., it
ended up COMPLETELY INTACT (NOT FRAGMENTED at all) after striking
pretty much the same parts of two "bodies", with the nose still
rounded, just like 399:
PARTIAL REPLAY:
>>> "How do Lone [Assassin] Theorists reconcile that one of the bullets allegedly used by Oswald smashed through two men, their clothes and broke bones and came out the other end virtually unscathed, with no bodily fluids on it (and with its grooves intact - a miracle event against all odds)..." <<<
Here's another look at the Discovery Channel's SBT test bullet. This
"Beyond The Magic Bullet" MC/WCC test missile smashed through two
surrogate "bodies" and struck three bones (2 ribs and 1 wrist bone).
Voila!
THE GROOVES ARE COMPLETELY INTACT! Another myth handily debunked:
ANOTHER PARTIAL REPLAY:
>>> "How do Lone [Assassin] Theorists reconcile that one of the bullets allegedly used by Oswald smashed through two men, their clothes and broke bones and came out the other end virtually unscathed, with no bodily fluids on it..." <<<
"One can only wonder why Commission Exhibit No. 399 did not have any blood residuum on it. My only guess is that the blood traces that must have been on it were removed by someone early on...almost as a matter of course. In all the evidence bullets I handled in court in murder cases during my prosecutorial career, none had any visible blood on them. .... Interestingly, [Robert] Frazier [of the FBI] testified that with respect to the two main bullet fragments found in the presidential limousine [CE567 and CE569], "there was a very slight residue of blood or some other material adhering, but it did not interfere with the examination. It was wiped off to clean up the bullet for examination"." -- Vincent T. Bugliosi; Page 425 of Endnotes in "Reclaiming History" (c.2007)
