BTW, when I first proposed this idea to Gary Mack back when the movie JFK came out, he immediately responded with words to the effect that, then you are talking about a handgun!
Can you believe that? In 1992, Gary Mack had never heard of the work of Mitch Werbell.
Who I am pretty sure diagrammed that chart on p. 15 that Carol calls Figure 4. Boy is that fascinating.
Talk about professionals.
Gary Mack would have referred to the de Lisle Carbine as a handgun for the simple fact this weapon fired .45 ACP pistol ammunition at subsonic velocities (830 fps muzzle velocity) making it, essentially, a handgun with a long barrel and stock.
That wasn't the context of the conversation Bob. It was the use of silencers in general. And Gary jumped to the conclusion that it would have to be a handgun.
Which as Carol shows is not the case.
At 830 fps muzzle velocity, it might as well be a handgun.
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
