bullet #399 also displayed deformation at the exposed lead core base.
Some ask why the bullet is not much deformed?...well that may be explained by the fact
it only hit soft tissue going through JFK before slowing down and then going in through
Connallys back and exiting in the nipple area...velocity would now be further reduced,
before hitting Connoally in the wrist bone at much reduced velocity.
Joseph Dolce, chairman of the Army’s Wounds Ballistic Board, did tests to determine if bullets striking human bone
would maintain their shape. After hitting ten cadaver wrists with Oswald’s rifle,
Dolce concluded all ten were “markedly deformed.” Not a single one resembled #399,
however, were such tests conducted in like fashion?....[ie;] by first penetrating the soft tissue of two persons
before hitting the cadaver wrists?
