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.

    Why don't we just cut to the chase and put the protractor away? Do you believe that: (1) Oswald was standing up when firing Shot #1, (2) Sat down, (3) reacquired the target, (4) worked the bolt action rifle, (5) Fired Shot #2, (6) worked the bolt action rifle, (7) Fired Shot #3 ALL in roughly 8 Total Seconds?

I doubt that Oswald used a support for his shot-1 at say pseudo Z103 to Z108, say Z105.
He would have been swinging the Carcano left to right while trying to get an accurate bead on the middle of jfk's back.
Thats why he hit the signal arm, koz he woz swinging, & shot a bit later than planned, & the signal & arm were never on his mind.
Then he probly used a support for his long range shot-2 at Z218, after jfk had emerged from the trees.
Z105 to Z218 is 113 Z frames, over 6 seconds.
Oswald would have seen that jfk wasnt hit by his shot-1, so Oswald needed a shot-2.
Then Oswald might have seen that his shot-2 had hit jfk, in any case Oswald stood up & back & he did not fire his last bullet.
Oswald would have seen Hickey shoot jfk in the head at Z313.

I hadnt thort of it before now, but the crease in the front face of the hard tough chrome trim would have helped to stop the small frangible slug (possibly hollow point) from Hickey's AR15.
The remnant slug & some of the lead splatter would probly have ended outside of the JFK limo (ie on the road). This was the 2nd last shot of Hickey's auto burst.

The last shot of the accidental auto burst hit JFK in the head, & the remnant slug veered say  6 deg inside the skull to then crack the windscreen (just left of the mirror).
This remnant probly ended inside the JFK limo. In which case it must have been secretted by the SS. Unless it did end up on the road.

From 6:16 this video shows an open-ended jacketed bullet hitting something hard:
SSA Hickey in the follow-up limo accidentally fired a 4 or 5 shot auto burst of his AR15 & the last slug (a hollow point slug) hit jfk in the head, & the remnant slug then cracked the windshield.
The 2nd last shot of Hickey's auto burst put a dent in the chrome trim above the windshield of the jfk limo.  As far as i know no-one has ever re-created that dent shot.  This would be a good test to show that the dent was made by an AR15 & not by Oswald's Carcano.

The Hickey-did-it-accidentally theory is as goofy as any conspiracy theory I've ever come across. It's right up there with Greer shooting JFK with a handgun. The evidence for a first shot while Zapruder was not filming is as thin as gruel.

No, i do not agree.
Anyhow, tests on exemplars uzing AR15 hollow points & Carcano solids would show that Hickey did it.

Ridiculous. Not an ounce of evidence that is what happened.
