For you gun experts, Stone stated that Oswald’s rifle was NOT even Sighted. And yet he was able to pull off 3 shots in 6.? seconds — that was an eye-opener to me.

The 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano that he allegedly used is one of the WORST bolt-action rifles ever made. It was and is a piece of crap. I’ve fired them. They can’t hold a candle to a good M1903 Springfield or Kar98K Mauser. Even the Type 99 Arisaka is better, but barely.

I can see Oswald - IF-IF-IF he was ONE of the gunman - getting off one good shot. I’ll never believe he was the ONLY gunman.

Well if Stone said it has to be true /sarc

Assassination investigators had an Army specialist attempt to replicate Oswald’s 3 shots using Oswald’s rifle exactly as it was found in the Book Depository.

The specialist hit the moving target three times and did it more quickly than Oswald. It is not a difficult shot.

This is in the Warren Report, that thing that no one reads because they are too busy filling their little heads with juicy conspiracy stories that they take for gospel.

It is two shots in six seconds, when you consider the clock starts with the first shot. Easily done.
