Not sure if you've seen this video, but MK Davis points out - what he believes to be - a shot hitting the street in the Nix film near the FBI's 3rd shot location on Elm.
He discusses it just after the 5 minute mark.
I'd be curious to hear your take...

Looking at that video I have two thoughts:
1. There's simply not sufficient resolution to claim that the anomaly in the film is a puff of concrete from a bullet strike. Similar distortions are occurring in the grass at the same time. It could be what he claims, but IMO it's impossible to know with the version of Nix he's using.
2. The people he claims are reacting to a bullet strike are more likely to be reacting to having just seen JFK's head blown apart right in front of them.
edit to add:
Mr. Davis does a nice job of highlighting the reactions of the car's occupants to extreme braking and the simultaneous opposite reaction as JFK is hit. What's most striking to me is that as the occupants react to the braking the car is not slowing AT ALL in relation to the background. Clear evidence of alteration IMO.
