    Have you ever tried it yourself? I have and it is pretty easy. The KGB also tried it with conscripts with zero training and had them try it and more then half were able to do it and almost all of them could with 3 hours of training. Didn't you watch the KGB files on the discovery channel?

    The trick to rapid firing a bolt gun is the use your middle finger to pull the trigger and to never let go of the bolt.

        So why was there 3 spent cartridges found on the sixth floor? My favorite documentary was "Behind the Magic Bullet" on discovery. They proved every single aspect of the Warren commission, and even reproduced the "magic bullet" almost perfectly, using the next box of italian ammunition on the manufacturing floor as Oswald used.

            What I remember about the "magic bullet" was that JFK was sitting significantly higher than Connally, and the way he was turned to JFK, everything points to the trajectory path being straight. Don't remember the logic of the intact bullet being found on the stretcher though.

              So now you're saying there were 4 shots assuming this M16 misfired?

                the bullet went through JFK, through connally's chest, his wrist, and the kinetic energy was bled off and it fell out of his wrist on the stretcher (where it was found).

                    are you saying that that is implausible?

                      There's a pretty good established record of three shots fired. Yes I find it implausible an M16 accidentally went off (safety off, finger on trigger) in a horizontal path outside of the window/out of the way of the windshield forward and slightly down into the head of JFK. It sounds ridiculous.

                        This. The 6.5 Carcano was a (for its bore) heavy round nose FMJ bullet. It wouldn't have deformed much, just deflected off hard objects, hence the, "magic," part of the name.

                          And didn't it only go through soft tissue?

                            It did until hit hit Connally's wrist, but at that time most all of the velocity was bled off.

                              so when did it deflect of of something hard in order to make a couple turns, instead of staying straight?

                                It was a straight path. Incorrect conspiracy theorists with bad data started the "turning path" garbage. They incorrectly presumed the seating positions in a factory 1963 continental were the same as in the president's lincoln. Due to the armor connally sat further to the center than a factory car, and JFK sat higher. When they are in the proper location the bullet path was straight. Conspiracy sensationalism. All of this is covered in that Discovery documentary I referenced earlier.
