uthorities say Fort Hood shooting Nidal Malik Hasan remains in a coma but is expected to live.

A federal law enforcement official said investigators have not been able to talk to Hasan since the deadly rampage that left 13 people dead and injured 30 others at the sprawling Army post in Texas on Thursday.

The initial investigation shows that Hasan allegedly used only one gun during the attack -- a 5.7-caliber semiautomatic pistol.

I actually don’t even know what 5.7 for pistol is. Never heard of it.

I use to have Glaser .38 and .45 years ago.

I hope that range has security cameras with a big hard drive (saved the video from his multiple range visits), and video of this guy practicing for his jihad. Prosecutors could make good use of video, showing premeditation, etc.

What’s rare is a shooter who picks a caliber for penetration, and then lines up a kill zone full of massed bodies where he can’t miss, and behid every human target are three or four more.

Do it again, I’d expect the same results.

Don’t forget that the military is ruled by a “Commander and Chief” that is in love with Muslims, dislikes our military, and has not done anything right so far in office.

WOW! Posted by popataz yesterday...:

The major was a regular at a shooting range I have a partner with. He used a FN 5.7 x 28 pistol. He was at the range this weekend and was very adept at shooting targets at 100 yards.

This is starting to make more sense for me. Until now, I couldn’t see how what was reported was even possible, especially when they were reporting that he didn’t spend time at the range or have any serious weapons training.

Now it looks like he was planning and preparing for this for a long time. With practice, I can see how he pulled off a quick reload with only one weapon to worry about.

Those bullets are nasty. Real show-stoppers. One hit and you would be down.

I’ll shoot myself later for saying this, but would that be an “assault pistol”?

The pistol he used is shipped usually with three mags. The 20 round mags can be altered with a kit to hold 30 rounds. The jihadists had another pistol on him, probably for back up, which he didn’t get to use. The shooting supposedly took place in an enclosed place, killing soldiers waiting for dental treatment, etc.

Also comes in 30rd.

A guy can get off 60rds in no time with a little practice.
