Oswald was a "Marksman" which is the lowest qualification. "Expert" is the highest and I doubt if one could do what the movie fellow stated. Especially, with the old Italian Army rifle we all know and love. The FBI has some really hot triggers and they could not duplicate the feat with that same rifle. As long as we are on the subject of FMJ the biggest surprise came for me when the sniper was shot again before getting banged.....Something else, where did the "fat boy" get the damn dough nuts he hid in his locker? From the mess hall? Who dreams up this crap? And a live round to shoot the D.I. ????? Hell, I woke up in a lousy mood today but between this, and the baby picture B.D. sent, I can do without my Valium. :-) Lawrence Zeitlin wrote: > > On Oct 13, 2006, at 3:23 PM, Walt wrote: > >>> Yes, I was in the Marines when that happened.
