See all →Controlled tests found the Mannlicher–Carcano's practical time between aimed shots averaged about 2.3 seconds, and because the footage implies roughly 1.5‑second intervals between impacts, a lone shooter using that rifle probably couldn't match the observed cadence.
People put on psychological armor—perfectionism, intellectualizing, control—to avoid judgment, but because that armor hides vulnerability it also blocks access to love and belonging and increases suffering.
