Brown ditched his bicycle and ordered the gunman to drop his weapon. When Mellberg turned and shot at him, Brown dropped into a combat crouch and returned fire with his 9mm Beretta M9 semiautomatic pistol. He fired four rounds at Mellberg; two missed, one hit him in the shoulder and one struck him between the eyes, instantly ending his homicidal rampage. The drum magazine in Mellberg’s MAK-90 still held 19 rounds of ammunition.
Two out of four hits at 70 yards with a pistol is decent shooting. The fact that it was under duress makes it great shooting. The guy with the MAK-90 could have easily returned hits if he wasn’t a murdering simp expecting easy targets.
I regularly shoot letter paper sized targets at 50 yards. With a good service handgun, it’s not that hard.
There is extra confidence in having 15-17 rounds like in a Beretta M9 standard-sized magazine. Our rotten governor in Washington state is about to take that away with his ten round mag limit.
