When-oh-when did Clint Hill leap from the Secret Service follow-up car?

   The AR-15 is a very powerful rifle. How doe shot #5 hit the "chrome trim" and Not Penetrate that trim? (I am assuming this is the "dented" chrome trim that runs  just below the top of the windshield). A clean shot from the powerful AR-15 should have had no problem penetrating that chrome trim.

A stainless steel chromed strip/trim sitting loosely over a strong steel windshield frame must obviously stop a (say) hollow point.

In the pix we can see that a puny chrome stripe over thin sheet steel can stop a handgun slug.
The JFK limo had a big chrome trim (usually stainless steel)(very hard) over a say 3" by 1.5" steel tube (much tougher than the sheet steel of the door in the pix), & Hickey's AR15 slug was a say 55grain hollow point & not full metal jacket. Dent shown in bottom pix.

   So, you want to compare the firepower of the AR-15 to the firepower of a "handgun"? Seriously? You are discrediting ALL of the other work you have done regarding the possible firing of the AR-15 on 11/22/63.

I officially vote that Clint Hill was preparing to leap at Z 255, but that the total time for the completion of the leap where both his feet have hit the ground is somewhere around Z-275.

A say 65% edge-contact on a thin chromed strip stopped the large slug from entering the door, compared to the entry of its 4 mates.

   I like all the work you have put into the possibility of SA Hickey firing the AR-15. I draw the line with your pushing a clean shot from the AR-15 would only "dent" the chrome striping above the JFK Limo Windshield.

It would be good if someone did tests re the dent of an AR15 hollow point (versus non-hollow point) on a chromed stainless (preferably with a bent/crimped shape as per limo) over a strong steel rectangular tube (as per limo).

I used 30 stainless steel droppers/spacers for my balcony fence. I drilled 13 small holes per dropper for 13 stainless steel horizontal wires (390 holes).
I drilled 26 holes in each of 11 heavy channel mild steel columns spaced at intervals along the fence as a part of the fence (& for roof support).
Drilling the small holes in the SS was murder.
