Was Hickey's AR15 in burst mode?

[Jim Hawthorn]

John, I had marked the wrong spot in my post before your perspective diagram. The theoretical bullet hole is in fact here:



So it lines up perfectly with the "bullet hole" in Altgens 6. Ain't this weird!

[Royell Storing]

Her right hand is holding the end of her handbag, & her hand is in a natural pozzy (ie thumb on top).
She is looking back away from jfk, probly at johnson.

Altgens6 was at say Z260 (i forget) which would make it 42 Z frames after Oswald's shot-2 at Z218 which is 2.3 sec.
About a half of the gawkers & SSAs are looking at JFK & a half (& one Harley jockey) are looking back up Elm St.
No one appears to be in shock yet, except for JFK & Jacki (& Connally).

    The physical activity displayed by the "eyewitnesses" on the (S) side of Elm St vs the Cigar Store Indian "eyewitnesses" on the (N) side of Elm St defies basic human behavior.There is NO WAY we should be seeing this disparity amidst shots being fired on the Current Zapruder Film.

The reactions on the S side of Elm (& N side) dont start untill after Z313 (95 Z frames after Z218)(5.2 sec)(about 2.9 sec after Altgens6).
And Zapruder Nix Muchmore Bronson show reactions on the N & S sides of Elm very near the jfklimo, we dont see the gawkers/indians nearer the TSBD.

         Elm St (S) side activity BEFORE Frame #313: (1) Mr Willis stepping back onto the curb, (2) Willis's daughter running down Elm St curb area, (3) Bob Croft raising/lowering camera, (4) Old Lady frantically waving handkerchief at JFK, etc, etc, etc.  The (N) side of Elm St looks like a crowd scene in the Hollywood Wax Museum.

Oswald's shot-1 ricocheted offa the overhead signal arm at say pseudo-Z105.
I suspect that the noise would be moreso out front of the Carcano, ie moreso on the S side of Elm.
I suspect that the noise would be heard moreso by gawkers on the S side, facing the Carcano.
Rather than the gawkers on the N side, with Carcano above & behind.
Likewise Oswald's shot-2 at Z218.

     A shooter would have to be STANDING UP in order to hit that light signal with a shot. Then, the shooter would need to sit down while also working the bolt action rifle to fire shots #2 and #3. It's buying into  such as this that also led to the SBT, which SCIENCE has now DQ'd.

Here are the timings for Oswald's shot-1 & shot-2 & for a faux shot-3.
87 ft is the horizontal dist scaled by me, 106 ft is the hypotenuse dist allowing for vertical dist estimated by me.

Oswald Shot ----------- hit at ------ fired at  ------ sound hit JFK at – Carcano = 2170 ft per sec.
1 --- 87 ft = 106 ft ----- Z113 ------ Z112.1 ---------- Z113.9 ----- camera runs at 18.3 frames per sec.
2 --- 184 ft = 197 ft---- Z218 ------- Z216.3 --------- Z219.6
3 --- 255 ft = 266 ft ---- Z313 -------- Z310.8 --------- Z315.2 -------- Oswald did not have a shot-3.
The time tween shot-1 & shot-2 is 104.2 frames, which is 5.7 sec. Holland reckoned that shot-1 was at Z106, which is an extra 7 frames, or 0.4 sec, which makes it 6.1 sec.
The time tween shot-2 & faux shot-3 is 94.5 frames, which is 5.2 sec.
Adding to 10.9 sec.

Here are the timings for Hickey's auto burst, based on there being 6 shots.
Hickey Shot ------------- hit at ------ fired at  ------ sound hit JFK at -------
6 ---- 26 ft---------------- Z313 -------- Z312.8 ---------- Z313.2 --- hit JFK in head & cracked windshield.
5 ---- AR15 = 3250 ft per sec------------ Z310.0 ---------- hit chrome trim on windshield.
4 ---- sound = 1100 ft per sec ----------- Z307.25 -------- went over the windshield, hit Elm St.
3 ---- probly 400 rpm= 6.67 rps --------- Z304.5 ---------- went over the windshield, hit Elm St.
2 ------------------------------------------- Z301.8 ----------- went over the windshield, hit Elm St.
1 ------------------------------------------- Z299.0 ---- probly hit Main St pavement & then kerb near Tague.

My calculation of Oswald's angles based on above is .....
shot-1 at Z113 is -34.8 deg. If at Holland's Z106 it is still -34.6 deg koz either way it is at the signals.
shot-2 at Z218 is -21.0 deg.
pseudo Oswald shot-3 at Z312 is -16.6 deg.
Hickey's actual shot at Z312 was nearnuff parallel to Elm St, ie -3.2 deg say.
