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.

Finding an almost pristine bullet that allegedly passed through two bodies and fractured bone contradicts expectations because bullets that traverse soft tissue and shatter bone normally deform, fragment, or lose structural integrity.
