You forgot something - he had to holster one gun to reload.
After emptying both weapons in his first volley, he then had to holster or drop one of his handguns.
I wonder what he was wearing when he did this, because I’d like to know where he kept the clips.
So he comes in, two pistols on him, and multiple clips. Let’s even say he bought the 25 round clips. How long are those? A foot long?
For 80 shots, you are talking the two original clips plus a minumum of two more.
He lugs in all of this, walks in, opens fire. He empties, holsters or drops a pistol, then reloads, then opens fire again using only the single gun until he’s out, then reloads again.
This assumes continuous fire. I’m assuming continuous fire because had he stopped to reload both pistols, I would think he may have been rushed and tackled, since the description of the carnage rendered was ‘point blank’.
There is a report (only one that I’ve seen — looking/waiting for a comfirming report) that the shooter only used one pistol....

” The initial investigation shows that Hasan allegedly used only one gun during the attack — a 5.7-caliber semiautomatic pistol. “
Much more info about this particular weapon downthread....
