You are suggesting a frangible bullet caused the skull flap wound but the blood fog was hand-painted in.
The problem with this is Zapruder clearly shows some skull pieces flying-off from the top of the head in a slightly forward direction. The point of origin of these pieces is clearly well to the rear of the alleged temple entry shot. I'm pretty certain it is not physically possible for a shockwave originating forward of the place of origin of the skull pieces to send them flying backwards towards the point of origin of the shockwave. Not to mention a weakened occipital area weakening the force and backing of such an event. Indeed, if the triangular piece seen flying-out of the top of the head in Zapruder 313-14-15 is the Harper fragment, could it have been ejected with such force if the rear of the skull was already cracked-open by the rear shot? The distance of the Harper fragment from Kennedy's head is a forensic indicator of the pressure that influenced it. Would it have flown that far with an already cracked-open head, and would it have gone contrary to the radial force originating at the point of the exploding bullet? And, if the frangible bullet showed force enough to blast-open the skull flap, would it have only plopped-out the rear plug? You would think it would have shot it out seeing how it would have been one of the routes of least resistance. Also, I think it violates known exploding bullet behavior for the bullet to blast-open Kennedy's skull flap and not have any shrapnel fragments follow the route. If indeed an exploding bullet caused the skull flap wound it would have been accompanied by some shrapnel bits that would not have left the skull flap intact. It most likely would have blown this area away. It conflicts with known exploding bullet behavior for this bullet to not send some shredding fragments upwards in the direction of the flap it blew open. Therefore it is highly unlikely any exploding bullet caused the skull flap wound.
