why don't they do bullistics tests on LH Oswalds rifle to see if it matches the recovered magic bullet?

No one has said that the bullet was not fired by Oswald's rifle. That's pretty clear. The question is, did that bullet hit JFK AND Governor Conolly, or just Governor Conolly, and no ballistics tests are going prove or disprove that. Conspiracy theorists believe that JFK was actually killed by another bullet, fired by a man on a grassy knoll, but that the government covered it up by saying that the bullet that hit Conolly had killed JFK. That the bullet does not exist of course fuels this conspiracy theory all the more, despite the fact that if the theory is wrong, it shouldn't have existed in the first place.

I know what you're trying to do.  You're not the first one to try it.  Pellet guns were designed to shoot with a certain amount of pressure from the co2 canister, now all of a sudden you're putting a helium in there.  It will break your airsoft gun's bolt lugs.\n\nRead this.\nhttp://www.network54.com/Forum/79537/message/1113147751/NO!

If I had a dollar for every phesant that's fallen to a single-shot 12gauge, I could probably retire a happy man.\nYou don't have to shoot a phesant more than one time to kill it.

Theoritically, everything is possible!!\nIn my openion it might be possible after knowing the chemical compositions of the curry and design a gun accordingly (curry gun). \nBut I don't think it would work as a replecement of the current gun powder becasue you won't get enough gas pressure to propel the bullet.

That is the most ridiculous gun law passed to date. Your part right on it never being used in a violent crime. I'm not sure where it happened but so far only one person in the united states has been killed by a 50 caliber weapon and i believe it was a 50AE Desert Eagle. The cost of the $3000+ rifles and the expensive ammo that isn't stocked in every gun store makes it very unpractical for any criminal. When california passed the law Barrett actually ended the warrenties on the LAPD M99's, and then came out with the CA legal .416 rifle. Then all the black powder shooters started to complain so CA made an exception for .50cal blackpowder rifles!(which are easier to get by criminals)

The U.S. Army's pursuit of a weapon to replace the aging M-16 rifle is still on track despite a failed congressional attempt to pump nearly $26 million into the federal budget to manufacture the weapon in 2005.\n\nMilitary and legislative officials said development and testing of the new XM8 assault rifle will run through December. It is the second round of tests for the highly anticipated rifle, with evaluations taking place in the hot, gritty desert near Yuma, Ariz., the tropical jungles of Panama, and the arctic climate of Alaska, said Col. Mike Smith, who oversees the XM8 testing program at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey.\n\n"After this round of testing, we will present our findings and our ability to meet the requirements, which are developed at Fort Benning, to the Army leadership, which should be in the late February time frame," Smith said.\n\n"Then they'll make a decision on how to go forward on the program, and how fast to go forward on the program."\n\nGerman gunmaker Heckler & Koch, which has a U.S. site in Sterling, Va., is working with the military on the prototype rifle. It would be mass-produced by H&K at a 150,000-square-foot plant the company plans to build in Columbus, Ga.\n\nH&K spokeswoman Jimmi Clifton said initial work could mean about 200 jobs, although more could be added as production ramps up. The company has said a contract with the government could be very lucrative, perhaps worth up to $1 billion over 10 years.\n\nClifton said the company remains in a testing mode and is hoping to begin plant construction soon and have at least part of the facility up and running by early 2005. But it's unlikely the entire factory will be built until H&K receives some signal that federal funding for mass production of the XM8 is forthcoming, she said.\n\n"There's no way I can put a time on that," Clifton said of a production contract. "It could be tomorrow. It could be a year away."\n\nIt appeared funding was on the way in July when U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey's office said $25.9 million had been tucked into a $417.5 billion House appropriations bill for the XM8.\n\nThe Georgia Republican, whose district includes a portion of Columbus, backed off that assertion after learning the money had been squeezed out of the budget to make room for additional funding for the war on terrorism.\n\nThe next chance for the XM8 program to receive money for manufacturing and procurement will be when Congress reconvenes Sept. 7, said Brian Robinson, communications director for Gingrey.\n\n"We're going to do everything we can to get this into the next supplemental budget," Robinson said.\n\n"We understand what happened and we want to fix it as soon as we can."\n\nShould funding come through this year, Smith said the XM8 could be in soldiers' hands as soon as summer 2005. If not, the weapon would be in the 2006 budget and make its way into the ranks by that spring.\n\nThe $26 million in funding that was shot down by Congress would have outfitted about two combat brigades, or about 8,000 soldiers, Smith said.\n\nAlthough Army leadership could decide in February to put a final approved version of the XM8 assault rifle out for competitive bidding, Smith said that's unlikely.\n\n"I can't make promises for senior Army leadership," he said. "But assuming H&K is successful testing against the requirements, it would be unusual" to take the production contract away from the company.\n\nThe weapon is getting high marks from troops during evaluations, said Smith.\n\nObservations include:\n\n• It's more versatile than the old M-16 rifle it will replace and should fire thousands of rounds before jamming, rather than the few hundred shots before the M-16 typically jams.\n\n• It's much easier to clean and maintain.\n\n• Training time is reduced since it's a single weapon that can be modified to fire short distances, long

It could have been a single gunman, He was a former Marine and very well trained to shoot a rifle. The thing I dont' understand was his escape route and what he did after.I mean if you are going to plan the thing out, It just doesn't make since. I think he was a stooge, setup to take the fall. And may have been setup from the inside. look at the photo of LBJ being sworen in on the plane back to Washingto..That man had a smirkish smile as big as Texas. {he may have known something}

the shotgun itself has a serial number on it but the round either buckshot or slug cannot be.

The alleged murderer could not be located for questioning. \n\nThe alleged cure-all produced no results when it was tested by reputable doctors.

I want to say Lee Harvey Oswald, but nobody's reallly 100% sure. The bullet was apparently "magic."

You have to fill out a missing pistol report....\nThey should of been in a safe so they could not of been stollen...

http://coltmfg.com has a way to get info on the weapon

First of all your a dumb#ss for letting him borrow it.  But second of all... they will not be able to trace the bullets back to you.  Because even though those bullets may have lands and grooves and striations made by your gun that can be matched 100% to the barrel and firing pin of your weapon, they would need your gun to match the bullets to make a match.  Your gun would have to be recovered at a crime or reported stolen and recovered in order to be run through IBIS or some similar database at a crime lab.  Unless they go and take all the .38 smith and wessons and test them which isn't going to happen.  But if you do hear something about a crime he commited I'd go to the cops anyways to clear your conscience.

Yeah. I'm not to far from my .357 revolver. Just the thing I would want if some guy who died 2000 years ago came back to life. I've always wanted to do a bit of zombie hunting. Or actually, since he's thousands of years dead, he would fall more into the "mummy" category, huh? \n\nAhh, either way, if his dead carcass comes back trying to eat MY brains i've got a 158 grain .357 hollowpoint with his name on it. Try to eat MY brains will you zombie scum? BLAM!

I think you might have something there, there is billions of pounds being put into the reseach, this would be lost if a cure was found, seems strange they can cure virtually every other complaint, even to replacing hearts........very suspicious

It's like a test of the child's destiny, to see what faith has in store for him; whether he'll be a success in business(the dollar), religious(the rosary), or a scoundrel(the shot glass).\nI find it to be outdated, but you asked, so i answered
