And it can be refilled.

Certainly, magazines are to weapons what a loaf of bread unbaked into an oven is.

You put it in to the bottom of the weapon, the magazine itself holds the rounds inside of it.

It is spring-loaded device whereby the person who's loading it places the rounds into it and they each become tighter as the magazine becomes more filled.

You can fill magazines up as much as 30, 35 some.

Traditional handguns, typically, if it's a 9mm, you're looking at a 15 or 17 round capacity.

And so the person who's shooting the weapon has 15 rounds.

In my service weapon with the NYPD, I had a 15 round magazine.

And then I had another round in the chamber ready to go, which meant my weapon was capable of firing 16 rounds before having to eject the empty magazine and reload it.

In this case, he fired 16 rounds.

In my opinion, he had a 15 round magazine, one live in the chamber, and he squeezed the trigger until he was finished and the clicking happened.

No, that's exactly what you're saying.

It is in the movies.

Those are automatic weapons.

Fully automatic weapons are not typically available to the public.

If a handgun was used here, a semi-automatic, semi means you have to depress that trigger once for every round.

It's a conscious thought, a conscious action to depress that round to expel a bullet.

So he has to pull that 16 times.

And in my estimation, based upon what I'm hearing about this case and what I know about it, he probably continued pressing, was unaware how many rounds he had fired, and was clicking on an empty round.

I mean, the bullets have all been discharged from the weapon.
