Inexplicable Wounds made by Special Bullets

[Bob Prudhomme]

That's the whole point, Magda. I believe I brought this up in another thread.

The weapon planted on the 6th floor was actually a "short rifle"; something just slightly bigger than a carbine. I am not saying the shots were made by this short rifle, or any other short rifle or carbine. Below is a pic of the model of Carcano that likely made the shots, the M91/41 long rifle:



Note the double set triggers in these rifles. These were designed for competition shooting, unlike the single triggered M91/41's issued to regular troops. The interesting thing about this rifle is that it has identical riflings as the M91/38 found on the 6th floor, and a bullet fired from an 91/41 would have the same rifling marks as one fired from an M91/38.

P.S. Reading your post again, I saw what you actually said. You are doubting the ability of the conspirators to pass off a 6.5mm Carcano M91/38 short rifle as a serious assassination weapon. I see your point, and have often thought the same thing. All I can say is, it seems to have worked for at least 50 years, and has relied mainly on the lack of firearms knowledge of most people.
