Question for CTers: Who is the best ballistic expert ?

[Michael Walton]

Didn't the government fire bullets in cadavers and other hard bony objects and they were never able to replicate a bullet as clean as the one in the Archives?

[Paul May]

Duncan MacPherson, author of “Bullet Penetration”, the seminal book on wound ballistics offered this constructive comment:

“The major frustrating feature of the Kennedy assassination phenomenon is the willingness of people to pretend to talk authoritatively on subjects they know absolutely nothing about, especially things related to firearms”.

Did he mention ballistic/firearms experts Gerald Ford and David Belin? The inventors of the ridiculous single bullet theory in the first place. There can be only one shooter therefore there can be only one bullet. What is called constructive there... I call gullible.

Who exactly considers Ford and/or Belin to be firearms/ballistic experts? Please be specific.

What can the ballistic experts tell you anyway? This one is straightforward. Prove that there is a straight-line path from the 6th floor into JFK's back, out his throat and into Connally. This involves an easy peasy experiment that anyone can do. Try it yourself using 2 lasers pointed at each other and get in between them as shown below. Position yourself so that the lasers point to the entrance and exit wounds according to the autopsy photos, then post your results and make us CTs eat crow. I've suggested this definitive challenge for years now and still no takers.



But I must warn you, every LNer that has actually done this experiment doesn't post here anymore.

Jack,

Wouldn't the relative seating orientation of Connally also be important to the laser demonstration here besides only showing the angle was 16 deg.?

I miswrote Belin...so erase him and put Specter.
Sarcasm was my intent...But then I think you knew that.
Ford moved the entry around to fit the theory----

The solution created by Commission counsel Arlen Specter was to posit that both men had been hit by a single shot which entered JFK's upper back,

Otherwise it was a pretty stupid question.
