Having shot many dozens of melons, pumpkins, soda bottles, aerosol cans, etc, with rifle rounds, all I can say from my personal experience is that there is no way to tell, in any individual shot/impact, where the shot came from just from the motive reaction of the target.

If anyone says they can tell, just from the reaction of Kennedy's head, where the shot came from, they must have some kind of special knowledge my 30 years of personal experience hasn't revealed.

oh please...a human nervous system and head react differently than fruit and vegetables! And all of those people than ran to capture one of the assassins in the grassy knoll knew very well what they heard. Gullible! Very gullible people can be.

Really? I find that fascinating because I’ve had about the same experience and for about the same number of years and with melons and so forth.

But you’d have to put a melon on some kind of spring or something to behave as the neck. But aside from that, with the ballistics experts that show bullet tracts through that jell-o stuff on TV, the bullet does more damage if it tumbles, hasn’t gone through something solid or partially solid first and so on, but even those don’t simulate a head moving attached to a neck and body, they are just big blocks of Jell-O sitting on some kind of table or something.

In reality, if Oswald shot him 3 times, the third (kill)shot would have gone through the back of his head and splatter would have gone all over Conally, not Jackie. and I’m reasonably certain that his head/body would have snapped forward.
