The Truly Magical Bullet

[Tim Nickerson]

Pristine bullets DO NOT come out pristine after hitting one of the hardest bones in the body.

Micheal, Sometimes Pristine bullets DO come out pristine after hitting one of the hardest bones in the body. It depends on how fast they are traveling when they strike the bone.



The bullet in that pic had been fired into the wrist bone of a human cadaver at a velocity of about 1100 ft/s.

Nothing magical about 399.

Re-enactments of the assassination duplicating the same positioning, distances, and using the same ammo and anatomically correct forensic 'dummies' have demonstrated the viability of the SBT.

 Are you talking CBS in the seventies? Maybe you are just talking alignments and angles and not the ability to get the shots off?

Matt, I think you mean CBS in 1967. I believe that they just looked at the ability to get the shots off. The alignments and angles were looked at in the 1970s by ITEK and the HSCA.

 Thank you for the correction Tim

You're welcome Matt. CBS had their 11 riflemen try to get on three shots in 5.6 seconds or less, trying to hit the moving target. According to Dan Rather, they all took their first shot at approximately the point at which the Warren Commission deduced that the first shot was fired. The problem with that is that the Warren Commission never concluded when the first shot was fired.

   Dr. WECHT: This exhibit, F-294, is a composite photo that I believe clearly, dramatically and most succinctly demonstrates the absurdity, the scientific untenability of the single bullet theory. This is Commission exhibit 399. I will not engage in semantical quibbling with my friend and collegue, Dr. Baden, whether you can be near pristine or fully pristine. It is a near pristine bullet, again, with the only deformity being demonstrated at the base...

    Mr. PURDY: Dr. Wecht, is it your opinion that no bullet could have caused all of the wounds to President Kennedy and Governor Connally or the Commission exhibit 399 could not have caused all of the wounds to both men?

    Dr. WECHT: Based upon the findings in this case, it is my opinion that no bullet could have caused all these wounds, not only 399 but no other bullet that we know about or any fragment of any bullet that we know about in this case.

The deformity on the base was probably made when the missile was cast...
The Single Bullet Theory is just that..a theory ...it is the silliest most ridiculous theory I ever heard.

?? The bullet base has to make a tight seal with the shell (to seal in the gunpowder contained in the shell).  There is no way that bullet deformity was there before firing.

What about the Trump theory that there was no collusion with Russia.  Or that Canada is a threat to US national security because the British burned the White House in the War of 1812 (which the US under James Madison started in order to take over the remaining British colonies to the north).
