Exactly!

Like I had observed, three bullet holes are proof that a minimum of three shots were fired and not a maximum.

Perhaps the magazine was changed. Perhaps the bullets missed their target and lie in fields along Regional road.

I thought issuing of bullets to the Forces is audited or am I wrong?

A Glock 17 holds seventeen 9 millimetre standard rounds.

But your argument is right.

That’s why the proper use of the words bullets, rounds and cartridge cases is important.

If everything is “bullets” then we will end up all confused.

How else could Paul Sheehan’s brother run back to his mother’s house so quickly? Surely not from the tunnel where the cars stopped.

If I were a victim and held in custody for two days all hell would break lose the minute I was released.

“Two bullets missing” is not the language of a proper forensic report. What does it mean? That 10 rounds were found in the magazine which usually contains 12 rounds? How many rounds were in the magazine to start with? Was a round chambered before the pistol was fired? That means you can fire off 3 rounds and the mag would still only be 2 rounds short.

Does it mean only 2 spent cartridges were found? Then that gives us a minimum of rounds fired, not a maximum.

I’m sorry, but I’m not an idiot. Neither are the 5%.

A round is a loaded cartridge with a bullet fixed to it.

This is because it does not take into account the possibility that said pistol (Glock) may have been carried around with a chambered round.

Total capacity would then be 18 rounds (17 in the magazine + 1 in the chamber). I hope all other investigative leads are exhausted before committing to the “two shots” version.
