Yeah, but not the one "Oswald" used, which was very difficult to recycle. They used a smooth-working Carcano. God, do you read nothing about this case?

It's not surprising that believers absolutely refuse to discuss the only real test ever conducted... the one commissioned by the Warren Commission.

They actually used the same rifle, CE-139; that they allege that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK with.

And despite these facts:

• They were given all the time they wanted for the first shot (the assassin didn't have this ability)
  
• They were firing from only HALF the height, 30 ft. rather than 60 ft.
  
• They were firing at stationary, oversized targets.
  
• They had immensely more shooting experience & skill than LHO.

... the three shooters were still unable to hit the head or neck of the target utilizing the scope - as the Warren Commission claimed LHO had.

Now, why was this test so much less successful than the CBS test?

Could it possibly be that the Mannlicher Carcano that CBS used was in far better shape?

And can even a single believer publicly admit this fact?
