Those who believe JB innocent often say had he been the perp he would have used the more powerful shotgun.
Those who believe JB guilty say he misjudged the lethality of the rifle hence he had to discharge so many shots.
The fact is the rifle and cartridges were powerful enough to fatally wound each victim with a single gunshot wound to the head or major organ.
The Home Office has calculated only 3 - 4 joules of pressure is required to cause a penetrating wound.
The Eley cartridges weigh 2.59 grams with a muzzle velocity of 1040 ft/s which equates to 130.127 joules of pressure.
If only 3 - 4 joules of pressure are required to inflict a penetrating wound it is surely clear to see what the effect will be with 130.127 joules of pressure.
More irrelevant scientific data.
Bamber chose the Anschutz rifle because, being relatively lightweight, easier to handle and with much less recoil than a shotgun, he could pin the crime on his fragile sister. Not forgetting a shotgun's powerful destructive effects... far too messy...
