I wonder how many of the fatal shots were .556 rounds as opposed to handgun rounds? I doubt many of the bikers were carrying AR’s in the bar.

I shall not be surprised to discover that all fatalities were caused by .556.

“I shall not be surprised to discover that all fatalities were caused by .556.”

Average fatality of handgun rounds that hit—25%. About 30% of handgun rounds actually hit their target in a gun fight. That means about 120 rounds would have to be fired from handguns to produce nine expected fatalities.

OTOH, .556 fired by folks standing off at 50-100 yards and aiming with optics would produce nine fatalities with many fewer shots. Maybe with nine shots—maybe fewer given the penetration properties of .556. Fifty yards to center of mass is an easy shot with an AR.
