Simulations and animations always show what the author wants to show.
That's not proof of anything. And there are witnesses to the pleura being
intact (as the Autopsy Report says) and one witness says that the middle
lung lobe was bruised, and not the top. The tip of the lung also cannot
be hit when the bruise was almost 2 inches wide. That suggests a strike
lower than the tip in either case.
Here's one witness Paul O'Connor being interviewed:
"O'Connor: We started out with
a rigid probe and found that it only went in so far. I'd say maybe an inch and a
quarter. It didn't go any further than that. So we used a malleable probe and bent
it a little bit and found out that the bullet entered the body, went through the
intercostal muscles—the muscles in between the ribs. The bullet went in through
the muscles, didn't touch any of the ribs, arched downwards, hit the back of the
pleural cavity, which encases the lungs, both front and back. It bounced off that
cavity and stopped. It actually went down and stopped. Went through the ribs
and stopped (photo 10). So we didn't know the track of the bullet until we eviscerated
the body later. That's what happened at that time. We traced the bullet
path down and found out it didn't traverse the body. It did not go in one side and
come out the other side of the body.
Law: You can be reasonably sure of that?
O'Connor: Absolutely.
Law: It was just from the probe then?
O'Connor: Oh yes.
Law: And these doctors knew that?
O'Connor: Absolutely.
Law: While it happened?
O'Connor: Absolutely."

So we see that the prosectors saw the PROOF with their own eyes, but lied
when it came to the AR, so that they had to have had orders to do that.
Humes would never have taken the authority to lie in the AR.
And let's add the sworn testimony of Jerrol Custer, X-ray Technician:
"When I lifted the body up to take films of
the torso, and the lumbar spine, and the pelvis,
this is when a king-size fragment - I’d say -
estimate around three, four sonometers - fell from
the back. And this is when Dr. Finck come over
with a pair of forceps, picked it up, and took -
That’s the last time I ever saw it.
Now, it was big enough -That’s about,
I’d say, an inch and a half. My finger-my small
finger. First joints."

Sonometer = centimeter, and 3-4 centimeters is long enough to be many
types of bullet.
another interview of Custer:
"Palamara: Were you aware of the allegations of—I don't know if it was Admiral
or Captain David Osborne—about the bullet falling out of the body? During the
autopsy? Did you see a whole bullet or a fragment fall out of President Kennedy?
Custer: Well, I wouldn't call it a fragment, I'd say it was a pretty good sized
bullet. Because it created such a fuss. They ran over with a set of forceps—and
they grabbed it, picked it up and put it in a little basin of water.
Law: Now is this the bullet—when you were doing the X-rays, and you had
him on the table and moving him around, didn't you tell me at some point in an
earlier conversation that a bullet fragment fell out of the president?
Custer: This was the time that they found that.
Law: Okay. And what happened? What was their demeanor? What happened
when that bullet fragment fell out?
Custer: I called one of the pathologists over and said, "Hey, we have a bullet
here." Soon as they heard that, they came down off the raised platform and they
ran over and they picked it up. Then Sibert and O'Neill also came over and said,
"Well, we want that, that's—""
Palamara: Yes, they wrote out a receipt for a missile so people think it's semantics—
was it a fragment? So you're saying it wasn't a whole bullet? It was a sizable
fragment of a bullet?
Custer: It was about—see, you're getting in semantics here about the size. It
was distinguishable enough to know it was a bullet. It wasn't complete because
there was some fragmentation. Some area of destruction on the bullet.
Law: Just for clarification, what area of the body did it fall out of?
Custer: That was the upper thorax. The upper back.
Law: It literally fell out of the back wound.
Custer: Right.
Law: Well now, the single-bullet theory would have you believe that the bullet
went in Kennedy's back, came out his throat, hit Connolly below the right armpit, came out the right side of his chest, broke his right wrist, and went into his left
leg. So, if you're telling us that the bullet fragment fell out of the back, that blows
the single bullet theory to hell right there.
Custer: Right.
Palamara: And also it was too low on the back to exit the neck.
Law: And you're absolutely certain that a bullet fragment fell out of the back?
Custer: Absolutely.
Law: The back wound itself. No doubt about it.
Custer: Absolutely. Right. We lifted him up and boom. That's when it came out.
Palamara: That's corroboration for David Osborne too.
Law: That would explain, "missile received" from Sibert and O'Neill.
Custer: Right.
Law: That's something that I've wanted to clear up."

It really doesn't look like the bullet made it through the body. But
here's the statement of James Sibert, FBI agent who observed the autopsy:
"It was my impression that Finck and
Humes agreed that there was no exit wound of the bullet through
the back."
From:
https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/arrb/master_med_set/pdf/md155.pdf
And further:
"The retired FBI agents were especially scathing about the single bullet
theory positing that one bullet caused seven non-fatal wounds in Kennedy
and [Texas] Governor Connally and emerged largely undamaged on a hospital
stretcher.
They took notes on the autopsy as Dr. Humes examined Kennedy's body. Both
said the autopsies concluded the bullet that hit Kennedy in his back had
not transited his body."
