"friendly fire."

Get your facts straight.

Hasan purportedly used a FN Herstal 5-7 Tactical which can hold up to
31 rounds (extended clip/20 round standard) of 5.7 mm NATO high impact
flat trajectory rounds. It's extremely accurate weapon up to 150
yards - almost as flat and accurate as a high powered rifle. It's
unknown at this point if he did a reload, but if you're planning mass
murder, it wouldn't be surprizing to have an extra clip or two. You
can change one of these clips very quickly. Of course, being a close
quarters/urban combat expert, you wouldn't know that.

The second gun was a Smith and Wesson .357 revolver and it's unknown
if any bullets left the barrel.

Also according to news reports he had taken advanced tactical courses
in pistol and was considered an expert marksman. Add the two together
in a enclosed area where no weapons were allowed your "friendly fire"
concept kind of falls apart.

And Sgt. Munley, trained in close quarter active response was there in
less than three minutes - she had taken him down in less than four.

Just looked at an insider's report- he stopped to reload at least
once, possibly twice. Assuming 31 round clips, that's 93 rounds - not
quite friendly fire is it moron.

Then again, being a close quarters combat expert, you wouldn't know
any of that.
