Excellent work, Drew. This is definitely where things begin to get complex, but I believe there is an answer hiding in those photos and Frazier's testimony. The only correction I can offer to your work is the rate of twist of the M91/38 Carcano short rifle, which was 1:8.47 and not just 1:8. This is a small figure, of course, but makes things even worse for the CE 399 in the photo, which we both determined to have a rate of twist more in the range of 1:7.
The only Carcano rifle even close to this would have been one of the true carbines (not the sawed off long rifle variety) with the progressive twist rifling that went from 1:15.3 - 1:7.48.
The more I look at these photos, and the rest of Frazier's evidence, the more I wonder what really happened. None of it makes any sense, and what we can figure out is so bizarre, I can only wonder, why would anyone go to such lengths to produce this grade of false evidence?

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.
