The President's back wound.

[Gordon Gray]

Sorry Gordon....

the 45 degrees had to do with what Humes said as he stuck his pinkie in the hole... a bullet entering and then coursing downward (yaw) is not uncommon at all... I do not believe Humes was relating the shooting angle to 45-60 degrees but how the shallow wound felt to him... if he could feel the end of the wound, yet they did not bother to record the removal of a bullet of fragment from that spot... it was either removed earlier or really did fall out of JFK duing cardiac massage and was the pointed bullet Nurse Bell picks up.

As to how a bullet stops in the body... it is all based upon the speed of the bullet. There are rifles that will fire rounds at low-velocity such as .22 LR which leaves the muzzle at 1150fps and slows to 975 at 100 yards.
The bullet Audrey Bell picked up was a pointed nose, very small bullet which can easily explain what caused the back wound.

Finally, here is a FMJ chart on fragmentation at different speeds.... at less than 1500fps (more like 1000fps) we should see no fragmentation and a very shallow wound... (and please realize that the MC, at less than 2000fps should not, COULD NOT have created a trail of minute particles as seen in the xrays... a different type of bullet from the front would have left that trail...

This is the first I've heard Audrey Bell picked up a pointed nose bullet. I thought that was Darrel Tomlinson. Ms. Bell I believe signed over the Connolly wrist fragments to the two Feds.We don't know who the nurse was who picked up the Connolly thigh bullet or what it looked like. Now why a professional sniper would choose to use a low velocity bullet is a head scratcher for me. And no other bullet we know of during the shooting, behaved like a 1000fps type round. Doesn't make any sense to me.
