Nasty little round. No wonder the carnage was so great.

He went for penetration, not killing power. Each bullet probably transited several victims. That’s why there is such a high ratio of wounded to killed.

Will someone accidentally unplug his respirator. I don’t want to listen to Islamofascist whining.

Watch him wake up and say, “I don’t remember a thing.”

Looks like you were right about the caliber. Can you tell us what you remember about the killer? Has the FBI interviewed you yet?

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

Do they mean 5.7 MM instead of caliber? Or is it really less than a third the size of a .22?

In the words of Mick Jagger, someone needs to
“flip the switch”.

And, oh, the humiliation for a jihadi - shot by a woman!

My wife has one of these FiveSeven pistols. It's a hot centerfire .22. Reloadable brass, but often requires using a .223 rather than the standard .224 bullets to avoid crushing/collapsing the case mouth. Factory ammo from FN comes in a variety of formats. The plastic tipped versions shown in the picture are typical "varmint" rounds. There is a special AP round that is accessible only to military/law enforcement. Recoil is low. Rapid fire is easily accomplished. Acquisition of aimed fire between rounds is similarly easy. The 20 round mags are nice, but we don't shoot it much due to high ammo costs.

The 20 rd mags are likely the reason the shooter selected the FiveSeven. Rapid fire. Lots of rounds. Easy to put a lot of lead out in a short time frame. The frame/grips have the feel of a 1911. Mag swaps are fast and easy too.
