As you say, though, without reliable ballistic and forensic evidence, we cannot draw any definite conclusions about the SBT, and Dale Myers is allowed to go on thrilling the sheeple with his cartoon; impossible as it is.
No, I did not say we can't draw any conclusions about the SBT. The SBT is crap for many reasons. CE399 was obviously fired into a water tank, probably by the FBI. It wasn't the bullet found at Parkland.
It's pretty well established that a huge number of witnesses heard a popping noise, then a pause, then two loud bangs very close together. From that, we can establish: a) at least two types of weapons were used, b) the two loud bangs could not be produced by one bolt-action Carcano, c) any additional shots were probably fired by weapons using silencers.
A lot of what we can figure out about this case is essentially "negative truth" or "negative knowledge" - we can tell what didn't happen. From that, hopefully we can eliminate enough possibilities to figure out what DID happen, but that's not always possible.
