Is this some game? Is deliberate obtuseness a new debating technique?

I don't have any problem at all with what Sawyer told the WC or with anything else that Sawyer ACTUALLY SAID. Neither I nor anyone else seems to know where the "Winchester" came from. Speculation is that Euins described the sound as being like an "automatic" rifle and that Sawyer or someone expanded this into a Winchester (not an automatic rifle!) because "Rifleman" was then extremely popular and opens with Chuck Connors firing his Winchester about 20 times in three seconds.

We have NO EVIDENCE AT ALL of Sawyer saying anything about a mystery man running from the rear of the TSBD with a rifle. The actual evidence - Sawyer's WC testimony and the FBI report I linked - is to the CONTRARY.

FWIW, Chuck's Winchester was not a 30-30 but a 44-40:
