191. Easy to fire that fast. The bullet was a full metal jacket bullet, designed to penetrate.

The first shot starts the timing. Oswald gets to begin with a completely ready rifle at a range of 58 yards. He then has 8.3 seconds to fire two more rounds, according the the film shot by Zapgruder. That is 4.15 secodns to work the bolt, aim and fire again. Keep in mind that his rifle was a military combat bolt action rifle. They are designed for the bolt to be able to be rapidly worked so the soldier cant get off the next shot rapidly. 4.15 seconds is lots of time for the next shot.

Pointing away - easy - echos. There were tall buildings and an overpass that echo and distort direction.

However, I do believe that he was a patsy. I believe that it was a Mafia hit, with Oswald as the sucker that pulls the trigger. When the Mafia makes a very high-profile hit they use a sucker who doesn't survive. The expection was that Oswald would have been killed when he shot it out with the Dallas police. (Normally when a person shots an officer in the presence of a second officer, at very close range, the second officer kills him on the spot.) When that didn't happen, Ruby, who had mob links and had cancer, had to finish the job and kill Oswald. He likely expected to be gunned down on the spot after shooting Oswald.
