TK0001 Posted November 9, 2010 #101 Share Posted November 9, 2010 What if the 'several' witnesses worked for the man or the mob? Then I guess you got me there. The witness I was going to mention by name was Marrion Baker, but he was a cop, hence a servant of The Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamsSon Posted November 9, 2010 #103 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) of course it does, but it would have a different effect on the accuracy of your shot according to the angle of the shot. if you shoot directly down, gravity has no effect on the accuracy of your shot. if you shoot directly horizontal, gravity will change its trajectory by X. if you shoot at an angle from the book depository, then gravity will have an effect on the trajectory between 0 and X. so the rifle would need to be calibrated differently according to the angle. Here's a link that explains the impact of gravity on a projectile. LinkSnipers take a lot of different variables (including gravity) into consideration when firing, the farther the shot the more variables they consider and the more the "flight" of the bullet is affected by these variables, but we're talking about shots of more than 300 yards, some of more than a mile, but in the instance of the JFK assassination, the biggest variables would have been wind direction, windage, elevation, and the speed of the target.

I see what you are saying, but I don't believe rifles need to constantly be recalibrated depending upon the angle of the shot. Like I said many times, the shooter shot three times before hitting Kennedy's head, which accounts for nerves, the "siting in" of his rifle, the fact he was aiming at a moving target, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the time (I assume) you have spent discussing and debating conspiracies I find it hard to believe you really go around making these kind of immature challenges.

As for this question, look a few pages back. It's been covered. Indeed, it *has* been covered. Oswald's military marksmanship records He was rated a Marksman on one course, which is the LOWEST passing score a soldier/Marine can score and still qualify, and a Sharpshooter on another, which only means that you can hit a stationary target with a *properly sighted rifle*. That you can fire "Sharpshooter" with an M-1 Garand makes you a passable Marine, and not a sniper capable of firing multiple shots in a short time with a worn Carcano! Furthermore, on April 10, 1963, Oswald attempted to kill retired U.S. Major General Edwin Walker. And FAILED. The truth is, Oswald was a passable rifle shot and nothing more. No military person would actually consider him good enough to be a sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namely: First question: did shots come from the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository? If so, was the shooter Oswald?

'hit a target from 140 feet away.'? - A moving target. - Which doesn't just move from A to B, it moves on multiple axis. - Hit it multiple times. - Within a short time frame. - Under pressure. You make it sound like he was shooting at beer bottles. And please *do* post something that supports your assumptions.

As I initially pointed out (in the quotes Solar reposted) Marksman and Sharpshooter scores are not indications of a shooter able to hit a moving target. I agree that it is my opinion. It is also my opinion that someone who could score in the Marksman and Sharpshooter categories wouldn't have a hard time hitting a target moving away from the shooter at 5 mph from 140 feet away. I don't know how to prove this other than to state it as my opinion. I could try to dig up the opinions of people better trained than me, if you would like. Also, you believe someone shot from the 6th floor, correct? I'm guessing you believe this was a military sniper and not Oswald, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find some expert testimony in some of the records. I'm not aware of any off the top of my head (regarding this specific event), but it may be out there.Also, you believe someone shot from the 6th floor, correct? I'm guessing you believe this was a military sniper and not Oswald, right? Yes, I believe a sniper shot (not necessarily a military one, but maybe) from the 6th floor. I believe the analysis of the angle of the shot to the neck indicates a shot from that particular window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you and your staff can prove there was more than one shooter at the 6th floor window of the School Book Depository, you would in effect prove the conspiracy, and if you could determine the identity of the shooter you could either prove Oswald innocent or guilty. I can't believe a conspiracy expert would make the claim this is not a big factor. Edited November 11, 2010 by IamsSon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be a sniper to hit a target from 140 feet away. I think you would have to be a sniper to fire 3 accurate shots in 5.5 seconds at a moving target, you'd think the first shot would be the most accurate shot, not the last, as you have more time to prepare, Highly unlikely the kill shot came from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
