Clearly, it appears the bullet that struck JFK's back actually entered his right lung. If this was a 6.5mm FMJ bullet, travelling at over 2000 fps when it struck JFK, it puzzles me as to why it did not exit JFK's chest. The only reason I can think of is that the bullet was a soft point or hollow point bullet; both of which are designed to expand, lose energy and come to a stop inside their victim.
I have never accepted the myth that the bullet only penetrated JFK's back an inch or so.

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.
