JFK RFK MLK Assasination Forum - Archive

Members; there was a brief misunderstanding with a member, whose identify shall remain undisclosed, however, we have worked thisdisagreement out over the phone. I am back but will attempt to contain my enthusiasm and do more research before posting anything, which is a good idea for all forum members.I would like to point out, that just last nite, I was watching a History Channel program about Vietnam and Iraqi military snipers and theirweaponry and training before and after deployment. Of interest to this forum might be to dispel the notion that a thru and thru bulletholein the JFK windshield was due to a frontal shot from the picket fence or RR overpass. In the program mentioned, it discussed a sniperincident wherein, the sniper and his spotter noticed a car coming towards their elevated position at a high rate of speed. The spotter usinghigh magnification binoculars, noticed the car had five occupants, and all were armed, thus posed a threat to them, or others on site. Ata range of about 500 yards, the sniper fired two shots at the driver thru the windshield and then dispatched the five occupants as they cameout of the vehicle into plain view, all armed to the teeth. Upon close inspection of the vehicle, it displaced the windshield sans the occupantsand the windshield did in fact have two .308 NATO round holes thru and thru. But, the front surface of the windshield had the typical largerock smashing effect before penetration thru and into the intended target. The entrance holes had the typical smashing effect to the glasswith numerous fine glass particles before penetration. Thus, I am now inclined to believe that no frontal shot thru the windshield ever tookplace but a bullet fragment flew into the back side of the windshield by some round fired as the bullet fragmented. barney

that sound reasonable!

i diddent actualy catch it until i looked at it real good

Does the angle of the windshield play a role whether the bullet gets through and through or deflects? Depending on specific wieght times speed of the bullet?

Good work Joe... that "cracks" me up. Seriously, although I have always believed a bullet or a fragment hit the windshield, I have never believed it was a through and through bullet hole. Good work again Sgt. Friday!
