Individual shooters make unique sparks?

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.

Your question is nonsensical. For example, what does "individual" have to do with it?  Do multiple shooters make "unique sparks"?

LOL

Regardless, to help you get your head around this, you should watch this video, especially the part that starts at 02:16.

Virgie Baker didn't exactly describe what she saw as "sparks," but, in so many words, as something like sparks.

Which is what this would look like to her in the low, late November sunlight from where she was standing, i.e., something kinda like sparks, especially to someone who was probably not expecting to see a high-velocity bullet impact the street.

Mr. Graves:

The asphalt aspect of that video is informative; however, the tree branch portion shows very little deviation of the bullet from its intended target.

ASSASSINATION Or PRESIDENT KENNEDY
Officer Buddy Walther_ Deputy Sheriff Dallas County Sheriff's Office

Date Nov 22, 1963

-snip-

"...I immediately went to the triple underpass
on Elm Street in an effort to locate possible marks left by stray bullets.
While I was looking for possible marks, some unknown person stated to
me that something had hit his face while he was parked on Main Street,
the next lane south from Elm, as the traffic had been stopped for the
parade. Upon examining the curb and pavement in this vicinity I found
where a bullet had splattered on the top edge of the curb on Main Street
which would place the direction of firing, high and behind the position
the Presidents car was in when he was shot..."

It had preceeded about halfway from Houston
Street to the underpass when I heard what sounded like a shot a short second two
more sharp reports . A man in the back seat slumped over and a woman in bright col
ored dress (Orange or Yellow) grabbed the man and yelled . One shot apparently hit
the street past the car. I saw something which I thought was smoke or steam
coming from a group of trees north of Elm off the Railroad tracks .
