But supposedly the same FMJ ammo from the same rifle fragmented into a million pieces after passing thorough Kennedy's skull.
I’m just venturing a guess, but is it really that surprising that a bullet that both entered and exited the cranium (so it hit two bones on its path) disintegrated completely while another bullet that just glanced off of one rib on its path didn’t disintegrate?
(Even the bones of the wrist have got nothing on the thickness of the occipital and frontal bones of the skull.)

There is an autopsy xray of Kennedy's head with hundreds of fragments, so the bullet had to fragment upon entry. I don't know about the thickness of bones, but it just seems crazy to me that one stays relatively intact, while the other fragments like a bomb.
