After watching video and looking at photos, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly unique or unusual. It was a single shot to the abdomen from a Colt .38 Cobra. Jack Ruby claimed that he intended to shoot Oswald three time.

Detective James R. Leavelle, who was cuffed to Oswald during the shooting, said that Ruby exclaimed, "I hope the son-of-a-bitch dies." Officer D.R. Archer testified that Ruby said, "I intended to shoot him three times" while being placed under arrest.
