[@communistdoggo7419]

i have no opinion on the matter, but i think it should be brought to your attention that water is *not* soft. liquids are uncompressible, meaning upon sudden impacts the volume cannot be displaced quickly enough, causing water to act as a tough solid for a split second after the impact. this is the reason why falling flat on water hurts. this effect is in part mitigated by objects with low surface area, such as a bullet, but i still think fleece or some sort of foam/fibers would make a better bullet preserver.

[@Bramble20322]

[@carljensen5730]

First thing to notice is that the Carcano bullet did not blow up the skull like the actual bullet did. Why? Because Mr James Files who gave a very compelling interview narration of how he was the grassy knoll shooter used hollowed, mercury filled bullets that are designed to explode upon impact. Sadly, the autopsy never tested the brain for residue of different types of bullets, or they would have been able to prove or disprove the mercury bullet mystery. Also, this test shows how the entry wound was small, just like the FRONT entry wound on JFK and the exit wound was larger. Not as large as what was described by Dallas doctors as a huge rear exit wound, but still much larger than the entry wound.

[@jesscast94]

The reason the doctors said the exit wound in the back of his head was huge is because the exit wound WAS huge at first. Kennedy was tampered with between bethesda naval hospital and dallas.

[@aaronz7056]

a) Parkland doctors never once turned the body over to look at the back of the head. b) Kennedy is very clearly seen in Zapruder's film to suffer a massive exit wound at the temple consistent only with a shot from behind. c) Autopsy shows the shots came from behind and you can see the Parkland doctors examining the photos on NOVA in 1988 and having no particular problem with them. d) "Mr." James Files was in Chicago during the assassination and when confronted with evidence he tried to claim he was being confused with his own nonexistent twin brother. NBC cancelled their planned TV show on this lying clown after taking a closer look at him.

[@MarcusWeinreich]

@@aaronz7056I wonder who is paying you to authenticate the official account because your points are over simplified and do not take real world ballistics into account! With reference to the four points you made:- a) Parkland doctors were sworn to secrecy by the secret service and one doctor later spoke out and said the wounds referred to in the official report did not correspond to what he saw. b) In the Zapruder film Kennedys head jerks backward and Jacky Kennedy can clearly be seen retrieving part of Kennedy's skull from the bootlid of the car therefore debunking your "massive exit wound at the temple" assertion. c) No autopsy photographs have ever been released and since the doctors were bound by secrecy as per point a) , your point c) is invalid and can be ignored. d) Anyone who claims to know exactly what happened should be taken with a large degree of scepticism and is most probably either a lunatic or a planted distraction therefore to even mention him weakens your case. In short I do not claim to know what happened but here are some other points to bear in mind firstly to shoot from the book depository and be the lone gunman that killed Kennedy that the official report claims happened is difficult for a number of reasons, shooting from an elevated position sounds easy but often leads to inaccurate shot placement meaning a headshot on a moving target by a non expert is extremely unlikely, Secondly snipers hardly ever aim for headshots as the target is often missed and this by experts, Thirdly the distance from the book depository and the target and the round being used meant that since the bullet travels more slowly than todays sniper calibres which have a flatter trajectory and this means that the bullet would have dropped fractionally the shooter would have had to make allowance for this fact and that Oswald was not a proficient shooter, it would have made the shot even more difficult! The mere fact that the documents have been kept secret begs closer inspection to the facts. Two other coincidences which bear mentioning, after the assassination Lyndon B. Johnson changed many of Kennedy's policies with specific relevance to the war in Vietnam and when Richard Nixon was ousted from office he was replaced by Gerald Ford, an unelected bureaucrat who was part of the investigation into the assassination of JFK!

[@aaronz7056]

No, I just see value in alerting people when they are being misled by lying armchair detectives like you so paranoid they assume anybody not on board for this "conspiracy" idiocy must be "getting paid" by somebody. a) Want to keep your coup top secret? No problem! Just go around threatening top surgeons at this major hospital (within minutes of the shooting, apparently) they'll all get their legs broke if they don't spend the rest of their lives lying about what happened and bending over backwards making themselves all accessories to treason.... LOL Never mind those doctors spoke openly about the assassination from the time it happened, often to conspiracy authors, so you now full well that's B.S. b) Kennedy is very clearly seen to suffer a massive exit wound exploding at the temple, the limo sped up abruptly, and Jackie picking up a piece of his head hardly negates that/ c) Plenty of photos were released. d) The rest of your statement is full of hysterical rampant paranoia and wild speculation. You're operating on the automatic assumption somebody had safely approached (or "threatened") scores of witnesses, police, FBI, Secret Service, military personnel, doctors, pathologists, x-ray technicians, ballistics experts, photographers, whole commissions, etc., and persuaded them all to obey illegal orders to commit heinous crimes and knock themselves out assisting some bloody coup.

Brandon. As a carcano owner for years. I must add you shot the wrong ammo and that makes a large difference. The modern spritzer bullets are designed to tumble and the original loads were 160grain round nose which was known to zip through enemies in the wars and not cause much damage.

[@kcmopar]

I agree, my ammo behaves the same. I have shot the PPU stuff and its a touch small in OD 0.264 and tumbles badly even before hitting the 75 yard target, plus the accuracy SUCKS BADLY. There was different barrel sizes used in the Model 38. Mine is the larger, 0.268. Hornady made some for the larger Carcano in OD of 0.2675, this stuff shoots well in my gun, just as good as the projectiles I have pulled from some vintage 0.268 I have found. Also, the pulled vintage projectiles seem to have a heavier jacket compared to the PPU after finding the rounds in the safety barrier of earth I have. The vintage rounds are always hardly damaged VS the slightly/moderate more deformed tumbling PPU which could explain a lot. Never thought about taking photos of them. Anyhow, that's the short story on the Carcano story, there is much more to it so i put it in a condensed version.

Pretty sure the equation is "humor = time/tragedy" because a larger tragedy means significantly more time before it's funny, and a smaller tragedy is more acceptable to make jokes about sooner. Like 9/11 jokes are funny now but would have been taboo in the mid 00s, whereas JFK jokes are just now getting acceptable and still receive a bit of flack. It also implies that a tragedy with no time is still funny. If it JUST happened, no one's laughing about it yet. Like Columbine jokes with "that one kid in a trench coat" but no Christchurch jokes.

[@GryffieTube]

It is also worth noting that at 8:55 the "ballistic head" does not fly off in the direction of the bullet's trajectory but rather topples in the direction that the bulled came from, much like in the Zapruder film, supporting the idea that the shots were indeed fired from the Book Depository (as opposed to the grassy knoll), and simultaneously dispelling certain Hollywood myths.

recommendation for the future: you can put the bullet through the water jugs with less deformation if you open the lids, that gives the water some place to displace to and while it will probably take more water to slow down, it will also allow the bullet to retain its shape better.

The simplest option is to use large transparent plastic bags filled with water. Pros - Cheap. Minimum shipping weight. With a bit of luck and duct tape, some bags can be reused. Cons - Requires a tap with water and a hose or the nearest body of water / stream (if you are not a fan of outdoor bucket exercise - also a pump and a hose). You will have to come up with a way to keep the bags from falling / crushing (ingenious use of ropes, tent poles, dead wood, planks, stones, tires, obscene language).

This shot has been tested over the years, again and again. One demonstration that I recall a while back, actually set up an exact replica of the position of JFK in relation to that of Conally in terms of distance apart and seat elevations from known measurements and they used a boom lift to recreate the actual height and distance from the target, exact type of ammo and weapon with exactly the same scope, using as near to perfect replicas of human targets as possible. They proved several things on that scene that day: 1) It was entirely possible to hit the target in the precise amount of time that witnesses and sound recordings from the day indicated the timing of the shots in between. 2) People have said that with the bolt action Carcano, it was impossible to fire that quickly and maintain accuracy. That was proven wrong. The shooter that day in the demonstration stated that it was relatively easy and the weapon was extremely accurate. 3) Everyone that has said it was an impossible feet of marksmanship was proven wrong. 4) The single bullet theory was proven possible, right down to the elongated penetration hole that was left by the bullet that tumbled after passing through JFK’s back. Was almost exactly what was shown on the original drawings from Parkland Hospital medical staff. Do I believe that there was another shooter? I think that there was a lot of chaos and confusion that day. Do I think Oswald pulled the trigger? No. I think he was set up to take the fall. I have been to Dealy Plaza in Dallas. Been to the 6th floor in the TSBD building, stood behind the picket fence, walked to the overpass. A perfect place for a assassination. The distance from the grassy knoll? I could have thrown a rock from there and hit one of them in the Limo. The distance from the 6th floor to the Limo? I could have taken them all out with a BB gun. The thing is…in old films the distance was exaggerated somehow. But there in person? I’m not an expert marksman but, it would have been easy to pull off. The vehicle was moving very slowly and no one was expecting it. Chaos ensued. Easy to get away from back then. Not so much now. So, it probably was a conspiracy. Just not by Oswald. JFK had so many enemies. The Mafia for one, the Cuban’s, the Russians, the CIA and the military and God only knows how many nuts out there that were pissed at him for screwing Marilyn Monroe. If the secret hasn’t come out after all of these years, then it never will.

The problem with the theory that Oswald was set up, is what do you do with all the evidence against him? You can't just throw it away. People have theories with shooters all over the place, but there's zero evidence to support them. If Oswald was framed, he was a pretty willing participant! Everything he did leading up to the assassination and on the day point to his guilt. Things he said, lies he told, everything. I believe he acted completely alone based on evidence. I'm willing to listen to other theories but you have to have Oswald involved. These people who think he did nothing or somehow tries to prevent the assassination, are very silly.

[@earth_ling]

@@paulchamberlain7780 Some of the evidence against him is just too convenient. I looked at the photo of him holding the rifle, with his pistol and a copy of a communist newspaper. It is laughable. The thing that stands out the most? The impossible angle that he is leaning at. No one could stand there without falling over. Then there is the background in the pictures. Identical. All taken with a particular camera that doesn’t have the resolution to pick up the print on the paper or keep the background in exactly the same position on each shot without a fixed position which Marina Oswald stated she held the camera, add to it the fact that the pictures showed up mysteriously, like two years later and were found in his belongings that had been searched countless times by investigators. So strange. The motorcycle cop that ran into the TSBD building states he was at the 2nd floor confronting Oswald in the break room no less than 5 minutes after the shots rang out. Totally calm. That would be difficult enough if he was on the 6th floor and just happened to walk down the steps for a coke, let alone having just shot JFK, stashed the rifle then ran down the stairs all without passing anyone who had just come down the same stairs. Remember the elevator was out of service that day. Then there are the signed affidavits from at least one investigator on the scene that swore that the rifle found was a Mauser not a Carcano. The only thing that seems to damn Oswald is the Officer Tippit shooting, but at least one witness says she saw the shooting itself and that it was not Oswald and that supposedly he used a revolver in the shooting but, they found shell casings on the scene from a semiautomatic. Too much confusion from those things for me to make a judgment that Lee was solely responsible. The evidence at the Warren Commission left out too many eyewitnesses and seemed to go only after trying to prove Oswald was the lone shooter.

[@bagel5085]

The rounds used here had Boat Tail Spitzer bullets the ones from LHO's rifle were round nose FMJ. Boat tail Spitzer bullet vs round nose might make a difference. Spitzer bullets tumble and deflect easier. The taper of the bullet makes it weaker than the straight walled round nosed FMJ as the lead in the rear has less to push against ahead of it. Nevertheless what i think would be most interesting and impactful would be the amount of antimony in the lead of the original bullet. Higher antimony levels would make the lead harder to deform. It's a theory, a Projectile theory. Thanks for watching

I'm hardly an expert, but as I understand, water is not particularly soft. The surface tension results in something roughly as hard as concrete which can cause a pretty significant amount of damage to a projectile, especially one travelling that fast. As Paul Harrell said, "Water is an almost perfect medium for projectile expansion." A quick google search shows that a large cardboard box filled with rubber landscaping mulch provides an excellent medium for catching bullets without causing excess damage to them.

The Carcano rounds that were used in the assassination were old surplus rounds that have a number of design quirks compared to modern FMJ 6.5mm. Basically that would be the most important difference between real life and the test.

[@Delta92F]

I agree. Also for me there's another detail. If I'm not wrong, for a short period of time Italy wanted to switch from 6.5 carcano to a "7.something" because according to their data the 6.5 was too stable and didn't leave enough damages. If it's true that explains the close to nothing deformation of the original bullet.

[@joelex7966]

To test the 6.5 you need to use original surplus ammo. The bullet itself had a copper/nickel jacket whick is much harder than a copper jacket. The bullet also is exceptionally long giving it a high sectional density and a propensity for tumbling. At one point in my life I owned a model 38 in 6.5 Carcano. It was not super accurate but it did have exceptional penetration for what it was. I believe that the magic bullet really could have walked through two people without substantial distortion

[@afleticwork]

Even the "expanding" 160grn 6.5 carcano rounds from hornady have absurd penetration, i shot 6 1 gallon jugs in a line and it didnt expand or stop

[@randomidiot8142]

Interesting how you can say it's a long tumbler and it penetrates deep.

[@ssjbread2803]

Well as I'm sure you can tell by the video, for the purposes of the test it didnt matter a whole lot because despite the bullets Brandon used being comparatively inferior in terms of hardness and penetration, the bullet hardly deformed at all. Obviously, if it were a harder bullet with better penetration, it only stands to reason it would deform even less

[@Chooopy]

I remember watching a video (can't remember the title) where they shot through a stack of wood blocks with the original ammo. It penetrated like 8 wood blocks and came out undeformed. Seeing that, I'm thoroughly convinced it could pass through a couple of human body parts without getting fucked up. I also like to thank Brandon for proving to all the ballistic illiterate, that no, the front of the head does NOT explode when shot from the front like so many people claim.

Looks like the bullet from Joe’s post is a round nose, military surplus.

Yeah but I mean come on now, you’re telling me that the magic bullet went through 2 human vertebrae, broke two ribs, shattered a human radius bone (one of the hardest bones in your body) and got lodged 3 inches deep in a human thigh, and just “fell out” on a hospital gurney with barely any deformation? Idk man. I understand that the original round is a round nose FMJ but I hardly believe that the thing comes out looking that pristine after breaking as many bones as it did. Plus if that’s the case why did the shot that killed Kennedy leave such a heavy amount of fragmentation while this bullet in particular was missing hardly any unless the round literally exploded in his head but FMJ rounds don’t do that or at least I’ve never heard of one that’s left such a mess. Through and through is kinda what they do so unless LHO was using two types of rounds in his rifle that day idk.

[@canibmeplz260]

Didn't they also conclude that they believe a Panic shot from a secret service member was the head shot? As the bullet wasn't found in the car and rather looked like it came from straight behind

[@warrenalchin7452]

Is that the one where they overlaid a 3D computer graphic of the streetscape over the actual film footage to plot the timing of the shots and work out the trajectories of the bullets, showing that the movement of the vehicle itself, JFK & Connelly explains the magic bullet theory? I've been trying to find that doco for years, but it never pops up in any of my searches.

@@evanmeeden2222 This guy is using the absolute maximum amount of sarcasm, and you still don’t get that every part of it is a joke.

Johnson knew it was the government agency that killed Kennedy and he went along with it but he didn’t have a choice in the matter it was wealthy Powerful people behind the scene and the other central intelligence agencies that were involved in the crime and murder of president Kennedy. so Johnson was complicit in the killing but he wasn’t responsible for the fact he just kept his mouth shut because he didn’t want to get the same thing as Kennedy and he didn’t want to stay in government after his term as president probably because he was so disillusioned with how corrupt the government system was.

The second thing that many folks don't take into account is that LHO went through Marine boot camp. He would have been trained to use iron sights, not scopes. The Carcano rifle he used had a scope, but it was on an off-set mount that still allowed the irons to be used. The scope and its mount were junk, and much as been made of that fact. However, I personally believe that Oswald would have, under pressure, reverted to his training and used the irons, which are more than adequate for the distance in question.

[@txhuntsman]

I don't care if it was Carlos Hathcock or Chris Kyle behind that rifle. The Carcano is an absolute piece of garbage and I have never seen one that shoots anywhere near accurate regardless of sights, scopes, or the trigger man. If LHO hit Kennedy with a that rifle it was blind luck. I am not saying LHO was not the shooter, just not with that rifle.

[@HillTrekkerSarge]

You don't have to be trained to use a scope. The same principles of marksmanship apply that apply to iron sights. The range of the Kennedy shooting was less than 100 yards. Not very far at all. Iron sights or scope. Doesn't really matter.

[@SvenTviking]

@@txhuntsman It’s not a piece of Junk. It’s not the best late 19th century bolt action rifle, but it’s not the worst by a long way. It’s average, by which I mean it will do the job.

He went to a local shooting range with the scoped rifle as a civilian and practiced with it. He knew how to use it scoped, not that it takes a lot of training to line up a crosshair at close distance anyway.

The reason the barrel didn't leak water on the first shot is because there was no way for air to get into the jug. If you had put a tiny hole in the top of the jug, it would be pissing water. the jug had a vacuum inside, preventing water from escaping. The pressure of the water where the crack was was too great to allow air to enter back in, creating an equilibrium. :D Sincerely, a plumber that deals with this all the time!

Anyone interested in what really happened should check out the docs that were release in the last few batches (prior to the batch stopped by Biden) which show connections between Oswald, Cuban Intelligence services, and the KGB in addition to demonstrating that the CIA and FBI failed in monitoring (and disseminating the information) the activities of the key players. I think Oswald was acting on the instructions of Cuba which was serving as a cutout for the Soviets. I also think the CIA and FBI were anxious to paint Oswald as a lone wolf because the alternative would have meant war against Cuba and a potential nuclear exchange.

[@williamflowers9435]

This is a great point. The US government can’t go and say they have proof the Russians or Cubans were behind it without either looking incredibly weak by doing nothing or starting thermonuclear war. The lone nut was the least destructive solution.

[@JustIn-op6oy]

@@williamflowers9435 absolutely. The connections between Ruby and the FBI are also very troubling, as it seems to me to indicate the possibility that the death of Oswald was orchestrated by the FBI so no one would be able to refute the lone gunman theory.

[@JustIn-op6oy]

A little additional info - the KGB agent and the Cuban Security services agent that met with Oswald were specialists in assassination (I think the Cuban agent was actually arrested in South America somewhere while planning an assassination) which is particularly damming as it somewhat obviates any suggestion that Oswald was just passing along info.

[@ManetInAEternum]

I agree 100% with you on the Cubans. Evidence points to "rouge" factions of Cuban "gangs" (for a lack of better terminology) that were upset at Kennedy for lack of support for the botched Bay of Pigs invasion and wanted him dead.

Perhaps the investment in a ballistic "Water Trough" is in order.... There are several varieties to copy from those the "authoroties use for testing. The easiest is the elongated, 4 sided variety. The entry area is partial with a replaceable, diaphragm membrane to retain the water, but allows the passage of the round. The upper, long open side has a partial mesh/perforation hinged screen to allow expansion but retains rounds as they release energy.... We have fabricated the Water Box out of Aluminum and Form Plywood, Epoxy coated. The latter is heavy. The former is expensive....
