It is a little more complicated than that. There is a such a thing as snap caps. That is what LHO was doing when he used the CE 543 as a shell so that the firing pin would not break. A carcano firing pin is prone to breaking because it has a tapered shoulder that that strikes the bolt face if it is over extended during dryfiring.

The marksmen chosen to fire the Carcano for the WC chose not to practice dry firing the rifle for fear of breaking the Carcano's firing pin.

CE 543 shows the marks on the shell casing that it was used as a snap cap by LHO. That was the observation of Dr Chapman when he examined the shells and noticed the dished in primer. To recock the carcano to dry fire with it, the only movement that is needed is to raise then lower the bolt. That motion recocks the firing pin. Unless Marina stood there and watched LHO work the bolt she would not have known he was practicing trigger control.

Wow!! Amazin.... Simply flippin amazin !.... This Chapman guy must be our own little Chappie....  Because he can identify the person who was using the rifle simply by examining the shell.....

No one will ever "successfully re-enact Oswald's feat" because to do so you would have to be shooting at a sitting US President.  Shooting at a target mounted on a sled and being towed by a car is not the same thing.

Well, Oswald had nine to ten seconds (not six) and the limo noticeably slowed down before the head shot, so if you replicated those conditions, a lot of Marine sharpshooters could pull it off.

No one will ever replicate Lee Oswald's alleged feat.... Because it's simply an impossible feat ( on several counts) dreamed up by the conspirators after the fact.    If Marrion Baker hadn't screwed up the works by reporting that he had seen Lee Oswald calmly drinking a coke in the 2nd floor lunchroom about 90 seconds after the FIRST explosion was heard, then the imaginary reenactment couldn't be successfully challenged....  But Baker's report created a time line that  forced the conspirators to try to "re-enact what they imagined ( a figment of their desperate imaginations) had happened.   The problem with their imaginary tale arose almost immediately when they discovered that it was utterly impossible for Lee to have fired the shots and then dashed to the NW corner and carefully hid the rifle beneath boxes of books that were about five feet away from the imagined escape path.   That rifle lying there at the bottom of a chasm of books spoke loud and clear that the rifle could NOT have ben concealed there at the bottom of that chasm AFTER the shooting ..... Because Lee would still have been there hiding the rifle when Baker and Truly appeared on the sixth floor about 2 minutes after the sound of the FIRST shot.

Are you saying that it would only have taken Lee 9 or 10 seconds to go from the first floor lunchroom to the sixth floor window?

Oh C'mon Kneger ...  What kind reply is that ....You're simply applying rule #1 from the LNer manual.

1) when you can't respond intelligently to a Ct..... Then simply attack the messenger.

Try again Mr K....

LHO stated he practiced by shooting leaves in the park.

He did?  When?  I think this absurd notion originated with Jeanne DeMohrenschildt.
