I was listening to this youtube clip from Gerry Hemming on the Carcano rifle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4OEbADUESo
in there he says that to function correctly the Carcano clip must hold 6 bullets.
I looked at various YouTube clips of people firing the Carcano (all trying to prove
what a wonderful weapon it is) and they all fill the clip with 6 bullets, without fail.
So the 64K dollar (pounds in my case) question is if Oswald's rifle only had 4 bullets ,
one still in the rifle , and 2 or 3 cases expelled , what happened to the
other 2 or 3 bullets that should have been in the clip.
Does anyone have a Carcano and can it fire with 4 bullets only in the clip.
If not would Oswald wander through the streets of Dallas with a rifle with a bullet in the breach
if he had fired the other two as practice shots, as an ex marine he would be trained
and it would be second nature to carry an empty rifle in a non combat location.
Any comments would be welcomed.
