Bob: Your basic premise, that the "path of the bullet between arm bones from back to front (of hand) seems very unlikely", given the x-rays and the Zap evidence of the positioning of JBC's hands, seems to quite logical. However, what if the path (as described) is incorrect? What if the bullet enters the dorsal side of his arm, strikes the radius, breaks it "inward," deflects downward, and then exits the palmar side of the wrist without passing between the bones?
That appears to me to be consistent with the way he's holding the hat at frame 230 (although he would have to lower the hat a bit for it to be in the correct position at Z290 or thereabouts (where Connally said he was hit). His thumb is under the hat and his fingers are on top of it, presenting the dorsal aspect of his arm to the chest. It also seems possible that a fragment from that collision could then wind up in JBC's thigh.
If that were the case you might expect the entry and exit holes in the shirt to be somewhat closer together (than 180 degrees) and on the opposite side of the cuff from the cufflink holes (on the ulnar side of the wrist). I might be able to see the shirt and I want to know what to look for.
