Were all three shots fired in 5.6 seconds?

LOL!

"LOL!" indeed. If one assumes that Oswald was the gunman and that the head shot was the final shot, then the last two shots, both of which were hits, were fired in 5.6 seconds. Yet, not one of the three Master-rated riflemen in the WC's rifle test was able to go two for two with his final two shots.

On their second and third shots, nearly all their shots landed far from the head and neck area and far from the center of mass. Only one of the 14 shots fired at the second and third target boards landed in the head and neck area, and another one of the 14 shots landed about 3 inches below the center of mass. Moreover, the one shot that hit in the head and neck area was on the second target board/second shot. Not one of the shots at the third target board/third shot landed in the head and neck area or in the center of mass.

So the three Master-rated riflemen went one for 14 on their second and third shots, i.e., the one shot that landed in the head and neck area on the second target board/second shot, and two of them took longer than 5.6 seconds for their final two shots. Yet, your alleged lone gunman, who barely qualified in the second of three qualification categories on his best day at the range in the Marine Corps while using a semi-automatic rifle and firing from a level position, supposedly went two for two on his second and third shots in 5.6 seconds.

BTW, Miller's third shot with the iron sights missed the target board completely. That means it missed the target silhouette on the target board and also missed the target board itself. But you guys want us to believe that Oswald went two for two on his final two shots, hitting JFK's head with his alleged third shot while supposedly using the iron sights (because his scope would have been worthless due to misalignment). Yet, a Master-rated rifleman wildly missed the head on the target silhouette with his third shot using the iron sights, even though he was firing from only 30 feet up, not 60 feet up, and was not firing through a half-open window in cramped quarters.

Regardless of the exact timing, I cannot avoid being troubled by how many witnesses emphasized the proximity of the second and third shots. To notice this so definitively, in the space of 5.6 seconds or even 10.2 seconds, is somewhat ... troubling. It's not so much the number of seconds but the number of witnesses who described the shots as being almost simultaneous. The lethal precision of the third shot, in comparison to the other two (or one, if you're a two-shot fan) is likewise somewhat ... troubling. The explosive fragmentation of the head shot bullet vis-a-vis the supposed SBT bullet is likewise somewhat ... troubling. The appearance of the throat wound at Parkland, the alignment of the back and throat wounds ... yep, troubling. It's almost uncanny how literally NOTHING in the JFKA is as neat and tidy as we would like it to be. It's downright ... troubling. Yes, I know all the LN explanations for the mysteries, but in their totality they remain ... troubling.

My UFO buddy Peter Gersten, who believes we live in a simulated reality (not as far-fetched as you might think), has a theory that certain events - including the JFKA - have some sort of larger significance that transcends their historical significance. I'm not a True Believer, but sometimes the JFKA does seem almost as though it had been DESIGNED to be and remain eternally puzzling.

Remember that the WC created the SBT precisely because it became clear that O could not have re-chambered and fired 2 shots in as short a space as the Z film indicated that K and C reacted to being hit.  However, they attached no importance to the many witnesses who said the 2nd and 3rd shots were almost simultaneous.

 No. A little over 9 seconds.

[Royell Storing]

 No. A little over 9 seconds.

   There is simply no way the POTUS should be under fire for 9-10-11+ consecutive seconds and the JFK SS literally NOT physically react proactively.  6+ seconds is difficult to believe, but now Max Holland is attempting to almost double that total elapsed time? And somehow he manages to get the cooperation of Nat Geo and the Sixth Floor Museum to push that? Buying into the 9-10-11+ seconds of bullets reigning down, and there being no direct response from the JFK SS Detail, would require the cooperation of key men in the JFK SS Detail. This includes ASAIC Kellerman and Limo Driver Greer. (rolling stop or stop?). There was an SS Agent that jumped off of the (R) running board of the Queen Mary and he was immediately ordered to get his tail back onto the running board. Buying into the 9-10-11+ seconds scenario implicates members of the JFK SS Detail.

Dear FPR,

It's no mystery that our "innocuous" KGB* has been encouraging the nation-rending bepuzzlement for sixty-six years, now.
