There is something so blatantly obvious about the massacre that has not been questioned until now. The coroner who autopsied the bodies said that every victim was shot between 3 and 11 times each. Regardless of the weapon supposedly used would it make any sense that someone would use that many bullets per person? Lanza would have had to pull the trigger once for each and every shot fired according to the OS.
So let's say the average shots per victim is 7 bullets.with 25 victims at the school. That's 175 shots. My point being that the Bushmaster .223 used in the murders was probably fully automatic. That would account for the exceptional number of wounds sustained by each of the victims and doesn't include misses which for the sake of argument we'll say he missed once for every 3 shots fired. That's another 47 bullets + 175 gives us 222 (by contrast the Clackamas mall shooter used 50 rounds)
We're talking at least 7 - 30 round clips and he supposedly had hundreds more rounds on him.
It really makes much more sense that it was an automatic weapon used, it accounts for the excessive number of wounds per victim (his mother was shot 3 times in the face - a likely result of automatic fire).
I have my doubts that anyone shooting semi-automatic could have killed so many people in such a short time. I also have my doubts about the supposed shooter's ability with firearms which makes the OS that much more difficult to accept.
The pattern of bullet holes in the school will tell the real story, so I have my doubts such evidence will ever be released to the public. We probably won't ever see any video footage of the shooter as Adam Lanza's slight build would be apparent even while wearing a tac vest. Maybe I'm way off the mark here but I am very familiar with firearms and these events simply do not make sense as presented.edit on 18-12-2012 by Asktheanimals because: corrections
He said all of the victims at the school, including 20 first-graders and six adults, were shot with a Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle and that "numerous" magazines were emptied at the scene.

that was apparently a police officer, so the WMAL talk radio was saying just as/after it /happening/happened... peaked my curiosity too, specially now with real evidence of full automatic fire.

Apparently he spent a lot of time at the firing range with his mother who was a gun enthusiast, so he knew how to handle guns and was proficient in their use. You're probably right that it was fully automatic, and must have been based on what you're saying.

I dunno. According to Wikipedia, he shot his mother four times in the head with a Marlin .22. (Not an automatic, as far as I know.) It would seem logical that he also shot his later victims in a similar manner; namely, repeat shots to make sure they were dead. I have no idea what his motive was, but if the children were neither resisting nor running, it would seem easy for him to simply walk up and trigger off a few rounds until he was satisfied they were dead. Shoot, he might not have even missed more than once or twice. I seriously doubt that he was using an automatic weapon.
