Is it accurate too say
A) That a huntsman-assassin shooting into a crowded area wouldn't likely use a veritable bazooka like Yardleys nor a mount for it. Considering the time it would take too disassemble and get the di di mau out of there. I mean of course Mack was going for total authenticity wasn't he?
B) Were Yardley shooting from where Mack designates wouldnt the likelihood of him hitting Jackie be all the more problematic. Considering what you have both discussed about the ricocheting of the bullet inside the target. Not to mention what seems to be Yardleys trajectory.
C) What calibre is he using to get that effect and how realistic are those skull simulations?
Seamus,
My knowledge of the JFK hit,and also ballistics,is just to thin to give you an informed answer to your questions.I really was just backing up what James posted about the unpredictable paths that bullets can take.
I just think it was pretty funny how Yardley uses that whopping great gun with a stand to shoot that head on that stiff neck. A pro hitman in Dealey wouldnt have had that shite. I really am quite sold on the the .243 calibre with a sabot. Less recoil, it's smaller quicker disassembly and it still packs a hell of a punch.
