So Norman under the window and JC being hit in the car basically corroborate each other with description of 3 shits  fired in less than 5 secs.

Connally's WC  testimony estimated the elapsed time of the shooting at between 10 and 12 seconds.

Mr. SPECTER. What is your best estimate as to the timespan between the first shot which you heard and the shot which you heretofore characterized as the third shot?
Governor CONNALLY. It was a very brief span of time; oh, I would have to say a matter of seconds. I don't know, 10, 12 seconds.

Maybe the shooter was using a rifle like the Rifleman Chuck Connors which could explain Norman hearing the click click sound while also recalling 3 shots fired quicker than could be probably fired using an MC rifle.

I don't know if you are being facetious or not but the only rifle in the world that could have fired the recovered bullets and shells was Oswald's Carcano.

It might explain Will Fritz picking up shells from
the the SN floor BEFORE they were photographed, carrying then around for a while and  he returns later, placing them back down in position as seen in the photographs.

I've heard that claim often. I've never seen compelling evidence that happened. There seems to be some dispute in the various accounts as to whether he picked up the shells before they were photographed.
