Unfortunately the eyewitness gun description as an automatic doesn't match the available evidence.
If you want speculating, the fact that the "second police car" would have had a line of sight to Tippet could account for two different brands of ammunition recovered from Tippet.. and might also explain why only 2 casings were found where Oswald shook out his spent ones. (2 other casings were found at a different location by a different witness, leading people to speculate that an automatic fired 2 rounds and ejected them at the scene...)
4 bullets in Tippet plus 5 bullets in his pocket plus 6 bullets loaded in the gun is 15 in total, not a multiple of 6. (Not that he had to carry bullets in multiples of 6, but for a 6 shooter that would only be sensible.) If Oswald fired his revolver twice, and some other person also fired twice, then dropped the spent casings near the body...
