Overpenetration with rounds like this are common, but hitting a second target with the same bullet is very rare.

20rnds per mag means one or two reloads if he was lucky.

Not if you're firing into a sardine-can of massed bodies. He picked a spot where he didn't even have to aim. Behind ever soldier were more soldiers.

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.

If you have ever been to a military medical facility, you would know people are packed in pretty tight. Usually rows of chairs faceing the same direction several rows deep. In that close of a group it would be easy for a round to pass through several people.

He was carrying two pistols.
