LNers Can't Explain the Two Back-of-Head Bullet Fragments

Sorry, but this is total fiction. Again, no FMJ bullet in the known history of forensic science has deposited a fragment, much less multiple fragments, at/near the entry point when striking a skull.

You may want to review some actual tests. Here is a video showing an FMJ bullet going though an iron plate:
Do you see all that lead on the entry side of the plate? How did it get there?

Oswald's first shot at pseudo Z105-110 ricocheted offa the overhead signal arm & the jacket split off into 2 pieces (found in the limo), & the main lead slug (never found) made a hole in the floor of the limo, & some of the lead splatter lodged in/on the top-back of jfk's head (xrays).
I doubt that any FMJ bullet ever left any lead (from the butt of the slug) on the outside of a human head/skull when passing throo the skull (when not tumbling)(ie at shortish range) .
No FMJ bullet ever fragmented when passing throo a human skull (fresh skull or old/ dry skull) when entering & passing throo high up on the skull (when not tumbling)(ie at shortish range).

And you get this bit of wisdom from where, exactly?

Why is this scenario not possible?: The FMJ bullet deforms upon striking the skull. As the bullet penetrates the skull, the part of the bullet behind the nose compresses into the nose. The back of the WC 6.5 mm bullet is not enclosed so the compression on the nose can cause bits of lead to spill out of the butt-end as the front part of the bullet passes through the skull. (When the bullet is compressed the temperature of the bullet increases so this lead could be in a softened or possibly a liquid state). These bits of lead don't make it through the hole in the skull created by the bullet nose impact so they end up on the outside surface.

Andrew, there were not two fragments imbedded in the back of the skull. Those who examined the X-rays and said that there was even one fragment there were wrong. The "6.5mm" radio-opaque object seen in the anterior X-Ray view was the 7mm x 2mm lead fragment removed by Humes.
