Ok, regarding the bullet casing marked as Q110 in the FBI report.
I happen to own the Savage .30-06 one of the possible matches for the casing, and am a fairly small framed lady at about 130 lbs. I can handle this weapon pretty easily, there is some pretty serious recoil. Because my sleuth loving hubby was sitting right next to me, I inquired, do you think a girl Casey's size would be able to handle this gun? His immediate answer was " anyone can handle that gun to shoot it once, our six yr old could manage to shoot it once". I can tell you that this is my deer hunting rifle, its a fairly large caliber, and not something I would expect to find lying around in suburban Orlando!!! Not too much big game in the city. And its loud, neighbors would surely hear it. This particular gun has a failry long barrel. Its long range, not meant for target shooting etc. Not to be graphic, but if something small was shot with this caliber of a weapon, it would not make a large entry wound, and doesn't scatter like a shotgun. The exit wound would be larger than entry. I hope this helps those who aren't familiar with this type of weapon. If I could figure out how to post pictures here I will take some of my gun and the bullets if you all would like to have a visual. That is is some techy can help mama figure out how! lol
