Unless it is proved our soldiers were wounded or killed by friendly fire, I’m not buying that this peacenik who didn’t even like to go to the firing range to qualify for handgun use was capable of pulling this off. Simple math is required here folks. Unless he used a 25 shot clip (which I think could be cumbersome) he was either Dead-eye Dick or he reloaded or had help.

Simple math - 13+30 = 43 victims @1 wound each (assuming zero misses) = 43 shots...
The numbers haven’t been given, as far as I know, but the report said ‘many’ had multiple wounds, so, for the sake of argument, add 20 additional rounds that hit, which brings the total to 63 rounds....
Then, given that even the most dead-eye marksman will miss with probably 20% of his shots (moving targets in a high-adrenaline situation), that brings the total to 80 shots fired...
Again, no info that I’ve seen on the weapon types, but 13-round magazines is a pretty safe assumption, which makes 26 rounds in battery...
80/26 = 3+ load cycles, or 6 reloads....
And you say this guy had next-to-zero weapons training?? Hmmmmmm.....
You must not have moch experience with pistols. If I had five magazines it would probably take about three minutes to fire 75 times with time to spare.

An eyewitness account from a Freeper put him at a firing range and in a shooting class. He had been training for this massacre and honing his shooting ability.
