Its not the driver, its an illusion. Its been discussed before and that what people ended up thinking. I think the "gun" was a reflection of the passengers head.

man, you've obviously put alot of time and hardwork into this theory. give the guy time and hardwork to prepare and answer. alot of people have probably never heard this before. debate debate debate! (its its own separate thread, just you two).

LOL you can see clearly the drivers left hand come off the steering wheel as he looks back! He is not holding a gun, a mere glance back and his right hand is not in sight, of course he could of shot backwards? lol
a big reflection on the other guy's head. wow this shouldn't even be debated.

Yes, at first it looked like a silver pistol, but if you look closely, you can see the reflection on the passenger's hair looks very much like a gun. As the passenger tilts his head back slightly, there is an illusion of the "silver pistol" aligning for a shot. After the mystery shot strikes JFK, the passenger is also struck (correct?), he tilts forward, and the reflection off his hair gives the illusion of the silver pistol being withdrawn as the driver turns around and speeds away.
Even if it were a pistol, which it clearly isn't, the driver would have had it held in his left hand, and given the position of the supposed pistol (near the driver's face), this would have been the most awkward shot in all of history; from that distance, and given the position of the supposed pistol, it would have been nearly impossible to aim...not without a laser dot.
You can clearly see that the driver's left arm isn't positioned to hold a pistol, otherwise his tie would have been obstructed by his own arm. You can actually see his left hand in the video...
At the very least, his torso would had to have been turned another 15-20 degrees to have pulled off a shot like that, assuming he were some sort of master marksman using a gun positioned next to his face. Also there is no recoil, no muzzle blast, and no smoke from this supposed pistol. Given the damage done by the bullet, you would expect a massive recoil and a large muzzle blast. This bullet came from a much larger gun. Think about it.
You really have to think about the mechanics of the human arm/shoulder/hand, and how difficult it is to aim a handgun while it's pointed in the opposite direction. This isn't GTA.
If the driver wanted to kill JFK, he could've just drove the car off a cliff and bailed out.
Question) Relative to where this camera is placed, where did the mystery shot supposedly come from? Anybody know?

Right here in this sequence his hand IS on the wheel and takes it off when he turns back the second time. He pauses with ti in mid air and goes back to driving. So everyone else in the car is in on it? because the people right behind the driver would of know that the gun shot came from the car and everyone around it as well. im not sold on it.
