Inexplicable Wounds made by Special Bullets

[Bob Prudhomme]

There is a great possibility the bullets were all fired from 6.5mm Carcanos, though not necessarily M91/38 short rifles, and that the bullets were all of the same design. This is what has taken so long to figure out.

There is also a possibility the 6.5mm Carcano cartridges were made in Italy and were as little as one year old.

Why in the World would professional sharpshooters/mechanics/hit-men use such an old, inaccurate, even noisy rifle - and the crummy bullets that fit it...makes NO sense at all. One rifle was perhaps one of them [not in Oswald's hands!] - but more likely a more modern and sophisticated rifle or weapon that could fire 'Carcano' rounds using a sabot, or also of the same caliber or re-bored to be. This was a high-tech crossfire assassination - only the best of everything was used. I find it absurd that M-C's were used. That wasn't even the first or second gun found in the TSBD...but the third, likely planted, one.

Not all 6.5mm Carcanos, in 1963, were old, inaccurate or noisy. Some were used by Italian shooting teams in international competitions well into the 1960's. Neither were the range bullets, manufactured post World War Two and used by these competition shooters, to be considered inaccurate.

If you believe in the sabot myth, or the loading of a 6.5mm Carcano bullet into a more powerful rifle of the same calibre myth, please tell me the make and model of the rifle you would use for such an endeavour.

The main point is that the very accurate model of Carcano had the same rifling pattern as the M91/38 Carcano found on the 6th floor, and bullets fired from these rifles would be indistinguishable.
