re waco burning v qheg ubvmsb cc buffalo edu p vasilion writes hallam zeus desy de writes the b b c are also reporting that bodies of b d members were found with bullet wounds in a manner that suggests they may have been shot attempting to leave the compound during the fire can you imagine what happens when a magazine explodes bullets go flying every where imho these gunshot wounds were actually caused when the magazines went up unlikely ammunition is not as dangerous when simply burned as it is when fired from a gun the brass case is not capable of holding the pressure generated by burning powder and will unless supported by the walls of a gun barrel or chamber simply split open while this may cause small pieces of brass to fly around it will not propel the bullet with any significant velocity in fact it was not uncommon in years past to dispose of old loaded cartridges by burning them as long as you were not close enough to take a piece of flying brass in the eye you were reasonably safe thus the detonation of loaded magazines or loose rounds might cause slight injury but would be unlikely to cause fatal bullet wounds alane nobody shares my opinions i am a jelly doughnut especially not my employer president john f kennedy
