(8,377 posts)Only one guy got off shots as fast as the 1.66 seconds between Oswald supposed 2nd and 3rd shots, both of which were hits under the Warren theory. Only one tester executed shots under 1.66 seconds, but he only got 1 out of 3 hits.
And this is with the advantages of :
1) Being about to get a redo if the gun jammed, which it did about half the time
2) The ability to prepare and start the procedure on their own time line, which is a lot easier than a guy sitting in wait for his one instant when the target appears in front of him. And remember, under the Warren theory, Oswald acted alone, so he had no means of knowing exactly where the limo was before it appeared.
3) And there were no trees in the way, blocking the vision. These testers had a completely unobstructed view.
See why there is a problem? Under the best of circumstances, nobody could do what the Warren theory says Oswald did. Not a single one.
I will give them credit. At least they did do a moving target. To make it a more realistic test, it should have had these conditions:
1) The course should have had trees partially blocking the view.
2) The shooters should not have any advance warning of when the target would appear.
3) There should be multiple targets. it was a parade after all, The shooter had to figure out WHICH target to shoot at very quickly.
In such a realistic test with no opportunity to practice on the test course ahead of time, I submit less than one in 500 expert marksmen would be able to do what Oswald supposedly did with 1.66 seconds between shots.
