Well, a jihadi murderer attacked the House of Parliament in Ottawa in 2014. He killed an unarmed soldier, then wounded an unarmed policeman. He didn't fire 50 to 100 rounds; he nearly emptied his rifle before dying - it was an 1894 Winchester 30-30.

Factually, different weapons in the hands of murderers get different results. And not theoretically.

It's been a while, but if I remember right, the suspect in this shooting back in '93 used a standard configuration 870 12GA shotgun. It just caught my attention at the time because I grew up in El Cajon (and nearby San Diego & Lakeside).
