Inexplicable Wounds made by Special Bullets

[Drew Phipps]

Merely for the purposes of this hypothetical question, I'm going to say "no." The purely hypothetical angle of passage through the skull, from a shooter at such an elevation, starting at such a low point on the skull, would not likely end up higher in the skull, to exit at the imaginary location that I have chosen just for this hypothetical scenario.

If I had started at a higher initial contact point at the back of the skull (for instance the purely imaginary point that the HSCA seems to have selected merely to match up with a presumed shooter location), then you could logically guess that I'm asking about Oswald's alleged position. Truly, though, I am trying to determine the magnitude of the explosive force generated by the frangible bullet.

(I could also simply say that the exact location of my imaginary shooter would not be pertinent to the type of ballistics and physics that my hypothetical example is attempting to illuminate for me poor tired brain.)
