3 shooters instead of 1?

If they intended to frame Oswald, they only needed to plant one rifle and three spent shells.

Obviously other snipers wouldn’t/didn’t leave rifles behind.

I believe the "They" in this case could have been Lee Oswald himself.....   He was playing the role of an ATTEMPTED assassin....

He thought that if Castro believed that he had tried to shoot JFK, then Fidel Castro would grant him asylum in Cuba.

Thus Lee wanted it to appear as if he had actually fired the carcano at JFK.... (And obviously millions of people do believe that)
 But in reality that old carcano was nothing but a stage prop and it never was fired that day....In Fact the carcano was already hidden beneath the pallet of books in the NW corner of the sixth floor at the time JFK was ambushed....And Lee was in the first floor lunchroom when JFK passed by the entrance to the TSBD.

How would they explain the fact that bullets or bullet fragments fired from rifles other than Oswald's MC rifle were found in the car or body?  And that they struck the body from directions other than from behind?   It is downright silly to suggest that the fantasy conspirators went to such pains to frame Oswald using a specific rifle and firing from a specific location, but then conduct the assassination with different rifles firing from different locations.  It's laughable.

You Know nothing about disintegrating bullets .........

You no nothing about disintegrating bullets .........

Frangible Ammo explodes on impact into tiny fragments like the bullet that struck JFK's skull.

It's totally plausible that second or third shooter would use that type of ammo over the type of ammo that could be ballistically matched to a specific rifle.

What is Frangible Ammo:

Frangible – the characteristic of breaking into tiny fragments – is a bullet that doesn't deform or expand like a hollow point, but instead shatters or disintegrates upon impact with the target. This target is anything harder than the bullet itself, which is usually made of composite materials that are pressed together with adhesives or formed under high pressure into a "solid" bullet shape. Frangible bullets are sometimes known as Advanced Energy Transfer rounds, or AETs, and the Glaser Safety Slug is by far the most recognizable name.

Silencers, disintegrating bullets, cloak of invisibility.......  This is getting more outlandish than a James Bond story.   You can't really believe that nonsense.  And all they had to do was use the same rifle that they had taken great pains to link to Oswald and fire from it from the same location that they set up to frame him from.  But instead it is like the shootout at the O.K. Corral.

Thank You for posting the link, Mr Banks.....

You can find frangible ammo in quite a few varieties, available for both pistols and rifles. However, you’re more likely to find the pistol ammo due to the frangible rifle round's performance inconsistencies from firing at such high velocity – including fragmenting early, jamming in the rifle or other issues.

I've long believed that the round that struck John's head was a 45 caliber ( subsonic ) frangible bullet.....and it was fired from a 45 caliber weapon that was equipped with a silencer.

A "Frangible bullet" plausibly explains the behavior of the bullet that broke into fragments in Kennedy's skull. It's not baseless speculation. It's speculation based on the evidence.

I'm unaware of any evidence suggesting that silencers were used.
