On the show they stated that the ammo used was not listed in the tables provided for people who did ballistic analysis at that time. I inferred that it was not well known from that.

It appeared they used the same military spec bullet that Oswald used. (full metal jacket) Oswald used it no doubt because it was war surplus and inexpensive to buy (my guess).

I would conclude from the show that the load used with its full metal jacket was very accurate until it went through JFK's kneck. After that their tests suggested it would tumble ... the damage done to Connoley indicated that it hit his wrist sideways.

The suggestion that a SS man might have fired an inadvertant shot is an interesting thought but the acoustics suggested that the reports of all the bullets (IIRC) were similar. Also the following car was open. If a shot had come from a rifle in it surely someone would have witnessed it.

I am currently reading a book by Clint Hill, Jackie's SS man. He named the fellow who was responsible for the AR 15 rifle. I am in the middle of the funeral in the book now. I'll try to post the name of the fellow responsible for the ar 15 later.
