(24,396 posts) That doesn't change the fact that ballistics tests matched CE399 to Oswald's rifle to the exclusion of every other firearm in the world.
That doesn't change the fact that the weight of the lead fragments removed from Gov Connally fall within the range of lead that could go missing from CE399 without said fragments causing the weight of CE399 to exceed the acceptable range of bullet weight for that particular cartridge.
That doesn't change the fact that the trajectory of a single bullet fired from the sniper's nest in the TSBD - passing through JFK and then causing all of Connally's wounds - was accepted as valid and probable by both the HSCA and the WC.
That doesn't change the fact that the wounds and bullet trajectory have been duplicated in numerous highly controlled tests, with the fired rounds used in said tests producing spent rounds that were just as "pristine" as was CE399.
It's not like the SBT rests on the NAA analysis. So while I am not ready to discount the NAA as quickly as are you, it doesn't hurt the case for the SBT to set aside the NAA for purposes of this discussion.
When one has mountains of evidence on their side, one can afford to toss a few rocks off the pile.
