No, he was "officially" shot by an M1 carbine, which is a .30 caliber.
(edit, my bad, I first read JFK, not RFK)
I stand corrected. I researched it after reading your post, and you're right. I could have sworn I remember seeing newsclips of the cops holding up an M1 carbine showing it off as the weapon that killed him.
The Mannlicher-Carcano is an absolute piece of garbage and I am surprised Oswald hit ANYTHING with it.
Its nick name with the Italian army was the "Humane Gun" because they never hurt anyone.
{edit}: An M-1 would have been a MUCH better choice.

What is the range and type of bird? Maybe a .410 shotgun or snake shot .22's if it's not too far away would be more suitable. That .22 LR could travel quite a ways if not stopped.Originally posted by: Spikesoldier

i used to shoot squirrels with 'em.......they're fun, much better than BB guns(YOU"LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!)
Technically, the military cartridge used in M-16 is 5.56mm NATO which is loaded to higher pressure standards than .223 Rem.
Read more disinformation? No thanks, I'll take the more plausible "French Contractor Hitman Theory" given by others. There were two others in addition to Oswald, the fall guy. One on the Grassy Knoll, one in the Storm drain. Classic ambush with interlocking fields of fire.
History Channel had a series on it; others have written on it as well. I'll try to find something for you, as if you're interested.
I understand it to have been the Mafia, because JFK and RFK were not playing ball with Castro, were going to go after the $$ the Mafia was scooping out of Las Vegas / Hollywood at that time. They hired French gunmen, so there would be no stateside leaks as the story goes.
I found this link for explanation of the Audio Evidence
I dont think you know much about guns.
The FMJ would kill you much easier then the hollow point.
Check the muzzle energy.
The FMJ is more likely to go through whereas the .22LR/HP will fragment. This is assuming neither bullet strikes bone or hard tissue.
