Oooh yeah, that would be a good one! I was thinking something along the lines of scooping the top of his head off above the eyebrows. That’d be messy for sure.
I saw a documentary called The Mystery of the Zapruder film recently, it was mostly an interview with Dino Brugione who worked at the National Photographic Interpretation Center and examined the Zapruder film the day after the assassination. One of his biggest points of contention with the authenticity of the version of the film that we’re familiar with is the missing head explosion. He said JFK’s head pretty much exploded into a 6-8 foot tall cloud, and that it was present on the original film he had seen on Nov 23-1963 but is notably absent from the subsequently shown version of the film.
So, yeah, a headshot would have been WAY messier and a lot more shocking than the relatively clean hole that was poked thru his neck. I guess that’s just the result of the round hitting soft tissue and the force from the impact distributing itself instead. I am a little surprised there wasn’t like a nasty exit wound, that’s kinda what I would have expected but whatever.
