"Olympic snipers" was a vague reference to NRA Masters, "capable of Olympic competition".
Neat.
The Carcano was prized in 1,000 yard shooting competitions at the turn of the century.
And, of course, the fact that even some Lone Nutters are coming around to accepting the research indicating that the scope on the rifle in evidence is was too crappy to use. These experiments used scopes, not iron sights.
And what kind of "research" would that be exactly?
Fact is the scope was more than capable for the SHORT RANGE involved in Dallas.
Doesn't it bother you that these experiments were presented as evidence of anything? Of course not, you already have your agenda.
Hardly. The ballistics is the main reason I pulled my head out of my butt and embraced the fresh air of reality, and left the CT word behind.
Meanwhile, your strategy is to use confusion to clog any conversation. Were you one of the guys claiming that adequate noise-suppressors on rifles did not exist in 1963? Boy, that was a bust.
Nope. We said they weren't practical for this shoot, and the calibers involved were not the 6.5x52mm.
Now your strategy is playing dumb when discussing medical evidence. If you don't have a good answer for anything, don't bother responding please.
You don't get to dictate the grounds for the debate. We just want proof, and you don't have any.
Bonus quote from Bugliosi's Reclaiming History, in which Bulio argues that Oswald could not have been a professional contract killer because the rifle in evidence did not come with a noise-suppressor:
"Silencers go all the way back to the turn of the twentieth century, and a firearms expert for the Los Angeles Police Department told me that as of 1963 they were already sophisticated enough to “substantially diminish the report” of the weapon and to “alter or disguise the sound,” such as to make it sound like “the hitting of a pile of wood with a hammer” or “the operation of machinery.” He said silencers are effective, and shots at Kennedy from a weapon with the best silencer then available “probably wouldn’t have even been heard above the background noise of the motorcade and crowd” in Dealey Plaza."
A lot of talk. Notice caliber is NOT mentioned.
How about you put that into the real world of 1963?
How much would a silencer cost?
Who manufactured them?
How easy were they to purchase? Could you find them in any gun shop?
I should point out that there is a long list of reasons Oswald could not have been a professional hit man that would take three pages before we even get to the Carcano.
We get it, you want the conspiracy to be real, but you're using questionable material that has long ago been debunked. Oswald did all the shooting that day, and if there is a conspiracy to be found it is not in the autopsy.
