"We believe passionately there was no conspiracy," he said. "We believe that the only thing we're exploiting is new technology," said Ewing, a former documentary filmmaker and senior executive with Scottish developer VIS, responsible for games like "State of Emergency." He said he sent Edward Kennedy a letter before the game's release.Įwing said the game was designed to undermine the theory there was some shadowy plot behind the assassination. Kirk Ewing, managing director of the Scottish firm Traffic Games, which developed the game, said he understood some people would be horrified at the concept, but he insisted he and his team had nothing but respect for Kennedy and for history. He was informed of the game on Friday but declined further comment. Edward Kennedy, the late president's brother. "It is despicable," said David Smith, a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. The release of "JFK Reloaded" is timed to coincide with the 41st anniversary of Kennedy's murder in Dallas and was designed to demonstrate a lone gunman was able to kill the president. LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) - A new video game to be released on Monday allows players to simulate the assassination of U.S. Monday, NovemPosted: 5:17 AM EST (1017 GMT) YB must have some members who shoot varmints, somebody else offer their opinion, speak up.Kennedy assassination re-created in video game A 30-30 leaves a blob of bruised meat with a hole in it.Īnybody who thinks JFK's head was shot with the Carcano has a lot to learn about guns. The Carcano and a 30-30 have very similar ballistics, velocity, RPM, etc.Īnybody who has ever shot varmints knows a 220 Swift turns a prairie dog into a pink mist and not much else. Twice the velocity yields four times the energy.Īnybody who has actual experience with several different rifles and experienced the difference between a 220 Swift or 22-250 and a 30-30 Winchester knows the head shot was not from a gun the with ballistics of a 6.5×52mm Carcano and a FMJ bullet. The delivered energies of kinetic impact and centrifugal force both increase to the square of speed. Whatever bullet struck JFK's head came from in front of him and displayed impact dynamics commonly displayed by rounds such as the 220 Swift or similar wildcat variants which have muzzle velocity in excess of 4000 ft/s and bullet RPM in excess of 350,000 RPM. The muzzle velocity, (2300 ft/s) and rifling twist (1:8) of the 6.5×52mm Carcano yield near 200,000 RPM and it is common to find intact bullets after being fired at such velocity/RPM, particularly FMJ bullets.
