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.

Not really, not unless they hit the heart, spine or other vitals. The bullets are optimized for penetration. With bullets optimized for expansion or other exotic terminal effects (glaser safety slugs etc) we might have seen more killed and fewer wounded, with less pass-throughs and multiple hits by each slug.

...quite right and have a high velocity of about 2400 fps and will penetrate military vests!! Will also tumble quickly to do max damage to tissue. With 20 round mags, he probably reloaded twice before she nailed him...
