You can't just spray with a handgun. Even if you could, the clip's much smaller.Turquoise Dragon wrote:Probably not a significantly different amount.

This was with a handgun. I'd be scared to think how many more would've died if he'd had an snowtrooper rifle. Then it would most likely would have been a 'mass shooting'.
If you can call killing four or more people in one incident a mass murder, I think it's reasonable to say that shooting and injuring four or more people is a mass shooting. How many people do you want to get shot before you call it a mass shooting?According to the FBI, for individuals, mass murder is defined as the person murdering four or more persons during a particular event with no cooling-off period between the murders.
He planned on killing MANY MORE people, but:Weapon(s)
CZ-75 9mm
Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum 6-shot revolver
Smith & Wesson .38-caliber 5-shot revolver
Beretta 89 .22-caliber
Beretta Tomcat .32-caliber
Taurus handgun (.40-caliber)
The CZ-75 can hold 15 rounds by default and the Taurus .40 can also hold 15....That's 30 rounds that can be fired at nearly twice the rate of a standard AR-15 if he had been good enough to dual-wield them.When Xiang stopped shooting and moved to switch weapons, Lee Gordon-Brown, the injured lecturer, grabbed Xiang's hands as he reached into his jacket. Gordon-Brown and a student in the room, Alastair Boast, a trained wing chun practitioner, tackled him.Bradley Thompson later entered the room and discovered five guns in holsters around Xiang's waist, including two Berettas, a Taurus, a .357 Magnum and a .38-caliber revolver, as well as two magazines from near his hip.
