IDK what to say, but tests have been run and it's not that crazy a kill for 1 shooter. Focused, motivated and locked it, it still took 3 shots, not just 1.

We may be thinking of the same 'test' you inferred.
Some years ago I watched a tv production by a group that set up a simulation of the assassination geometry - complete with all the spatial coordinates for every object in the scene = height and distance of shooter, location and speed of the limo, dummies for bodies in the vehicle all in their proper spatial location during the episode and a tower with the shooter in the proper location and view (don't recall if they had the 'tree' obstruction' in the scene, but if not they heeded the restriction that would have put on the view from the sniper site.
They then ran the vehicle thru the scene and had a marksman shoot from his perch.
The marksman had no problem at all with the timing of the shots and made better hits than Oswald.
That setup also settled (for me) the claim about the mysterious 'third bullet that hit Governor Connally = the seats of the POTUS and First Lady were elevated quite a bit higher than with a stock limo of the time used for the Presidential vehicle. That made the trajectory of the bullet very easy to imagine without having to introduce a totally new weapon at another location.
To me, that simulation was very persuasive. At that time, my job entailed tracking positions of objects in space - specifically the docking geometry of the Gemini/Agena mission.
I was totally in synch with the one-shooter interpretation of the actual scene after that.
I can accommodate as many theories of the why and who were responsible for the plot - (still think LBJ was the top dawg in that) - but the location and methodology of the shooter is hard fact to me now, awaiting results of even more detailed analysis than the simulation scenario I described above.
And. I am not discounting any sort of treachery from the FBI/CIA/LBJpolitics from that suspicion. I still find it hard to think that this was all a one-man show from start to finish.

It is crazy to believe there was just one shooter even though we'd like to believe there was just one. Too much 100% positive evidence that there was more than one.
There were at least four shots and probably more which Oswald's carbine could not fire in 6.2 seconds. In no particular order:
1) No one disputes this--one shot totally missed the limousine and hit a curb, splintering a concrete shard into a bystander's face (James Tague).
2) One shot hit JFK in the back which is definitely corroborated by the hole in his body, his shirt, and suit jacket. This bullet did not penetrate far and fell out. A Secret Service agent (Landis) recently admitted, after 60 years, that he found the intact bullet on the back seat, put it in his pocket, and later put it on the stretcher for any analysis by the doctors. This bullet was dubbed the "Magic Bullet" by the Warren Commission to fit it's three shot narrative, but it is magic no more.
3) Kennedy had a neck wound which supposedly was caused by the back wound, which is now totally debunked because the back wound bullet fell out of his back and was laying on his seat. The neck wound bullet went through his tie knot partially and his shirt.
4) The massive head wound to Kennedy.
5) Governor Connelly was hit in the back, the bullet went through him and hit his wrist, went through that and ended up in his thigh. All of the grams of lead could not be removed by the doctors and so remained in Connelly, and that amount of lead was more than what the so called Magic Bullet was missing, another 100% proof that the Magic Bullet theory was impossible.
Today we know 100% that there was more than one shooter.
