What I would like, a re-creation of JFK assassination

With real people, a real car (being towed). Let 100-200 experts fire that weapon make...se how many hit, and if in time allowed. maybe make false trees to hide car...as it was then. The Texas School Book Depository is still there.

hit a stationary target. duh
-
splatter...well sort of shows that one shot could have done that.
-
The claim is more than one shot was fired... Oswald fired all the shots which caused the wounds (wiki).
-
No one disagrees that Oswald was not capable of doing ONE shot.

I think they showed how fast someone could fire 3 rounds from that particular rifle.

Even if it was half cheesy, it would be nice to see how many of 100 -200 experts could hit dummy people in a moving car in time allotted. Hit them with more than 1 shot.

The big question is how you get the head snap seen in the Zapruder Film with a shot from behind. Kinetic energy and inertia and all that cool science stuff makes for why the doubt about a single shooter keep going.

and I won't / don't do arguments much. But with all the stuff they do all the time... if they did a real time re-enactment, using lots of shooters... would interest me.

since the shot was from behind. Plus most of the splatter went forward. After Kennedy's head went forward, his head then went back due to brain signals to his muscles caused by the shock to his brain.
