    Lee Harvey Oswald was demoted from sharpshooter to marksman in the U.S. Marines in 1959, with a score of 191, indicating he was not a consistently good shooter by marine standards. However, KGB files from the time of his defection to the Soviet Union described him as a “poor shot” during target practice there, suggesting his marksmanship skills were inconsistent or underdeveloped.
