Generations of students of JFK have taken the film to be authentic and engaged in the kinds of speculations in which you are engaged. Roderick Ryan told Noel Twman that the blood spray and the "blob" had been painted in. And of course the new Hollywood experts have found that the massive blow-out to the back of the head was painted out in black--and crudely, at that! You might want to take a look at some other articles on this, including "Zapruder JFK Film impeached by Moorman JFK Polaroid", "US Government Official: JFK Cover-Up, Film Fabrication", and "The JFK 'Head Shot' Paradox". Most importantly, you might want to view the Costella tutorial on the faking of the film, which is archived at http://assassinationscience.com/johncostella/jfk/intro/

It's hard to reconcile CT arguments that the blood fog seen in Zapruder is the outshoot of a shot from the front with claims that the blood fog is drawn-in. How much of the blood fog are you keeping and how much are you rejecting? See what I mean? You have Greer getting splattered at the front left which creates a problem for it being from any entry wound to the temple, or further back above and behind the right ear.
The problem with Hargis getting stung by pieces exiting the occipital wound is he was back and to the left. If your occipital wound is indeed an exit wound its location does not suggest a trajectory towards Hargis. Any look at the drawings of the rear wound show it to be on the right side of the occiput. When you input Kennedy's head being angled 23 degrees left it draws Hargis further and further out of range from a Grassy Knoll shooter almost 90 degrees perpendicular. Hargis would be, however, in range of materials exploded-out under the extreme pressure of a gunshot traversing the pressure containment dome of a skull. If the skull flap seen in Zapruder is real the first direction it would have sent the highest pressure materials would be in Hargis' direction as they were shunted under the underside of the skull and shot towards Hargis as the flap opened up.
The problem with the skull flap seen in Zapruder is it was witnessed by people standing right there. Even better it was "ear"-witnessed as making a thumping "pumpkin smashing sound". The large blood fog exploding-out into air would make such a sound. This is corroborating scientific evidence. Also, the blood fog was accompanied by pieces of skull in a whitish forward-angled jet, including a triangular piece I think very well may be the Harper Fragment. It was also evidenced in the spatter pattern, including gore materials equal to the event.
I'm fence-sitting on the neck shot. Seems a wound from the front in that location would shatter the spine in the neck and be instantly fatal. I'd like a coherent review of the thread fibers in the tie to determine shot direction.
I'm not necessarily trying to exclude a successful forward shot, I'm trying to make an objective argument that the Parkland rear wound could have been from a total head explosion event that also created the McClelland wound. In this case the Bethesda doctors could have misrepresented the rear of the head not to cover-up a forward shot but in order to establish the entry wound of a rear shot instead.
