I used to watch football film of Pat when I was in high school and college and had hoped that I could play with his fearlessness.

The official Army autopsy report obtained by ESPN.com shows that, besides the three bullets in his forehead, Tillman had shrapnel in his left forearm and wrist. Asked by ESPN.com to review the autopsy's findings, renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden suggests the three bullets that struck Tillman in the head came in rapid succession, and most likely were from the weapon of a single shooter. Documents from the Army's investigations indicate the wounds likely came from American 5.56 mm or 7.62 mm rounds.

"The first bullet that struck him in the head, he was dead," Dr. Baden told ESPN.com. "Then he was struck by two additional bullets, because of the rapid fire of the weapon that was used. He also may have been shot by other weapons in the arm and vest. This would indicate that & more than one person was firing at him."

most likely an m-16 set on a 3 round burst i would assume???

Nope. Typical military.

Wonder what PT would think about all this.

Pretty damned screwed up when you think about it. Yes, 3 rounds in nearly the same spot are definately indicitave of an M-16A2 service rifle on 3 round burst mode.

When I was in the Marines I was a competition shooter and rifle/pistol coach. I only saw 1 negligent (not accidental) discharge, that involved an injury, thankfully the dozens of others had weapons pointed down range. The one that did involve injury the person lived, but it was one hell of a bad day to be a coach that day.

And what I witnessed happened on a controlled range environment in peace time; during a firefight in a warzone, I cant even imagine.
