Drew Phipps Wrote:Bob Prudhomme Wrote:Frazier testified to the WC that the FBI acquired WCC 6.5mm ammunition, tested it and found the average muzzle velocity to be 2165 fps. Most textbooks place the muzzle velocity of the M91/38, shooting Italian military ammunition, at 2200 fps.
could that 35 fps difference be because the WCC bullet is undersized for the M91/38 barrel, or is that fps difference inconsistent with a bullet that doesnt entirely fill the barrel?
It could be, or it could be because the barrel is very worn from having so many bullets shot through it. It could also be because the ammunition was 20 years old.
Remember, we have only Frazier's word that the average tested muzzle velocity was 2165 fps.
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.
