I've also heard it compared more to a bullwhip crack, than a firecracker noise. I suppose that Connally, or some of the Secret Service guys, might be more familiar with the sound of a supersonic bullet passing nearby (Connally identified the first sound he heard as a rifle shot). I wonder if there are some acoustic particular characteristics of supersonic bullet noise...
At least 129 witnesses reported hearing at least three shots, of these 110 heard three rifle shots and 19 heard all sorts of things and rifle shots. Of the 19 thirteen of them worked for the government six of these for the SS.
Two men claimed to hear the rifle shots two blocks away and 19 sheriff deputies stationed on the steps of their station house just outside of Dealey Plaza all heard three rifle shots.
How do you propose a suppressor could accomplish these results?
