Not so sure that you can draw that conclusion. 26 people were killed with 155 bullets. 154 were fired from the AR-15 Bushmaster. The final 155th bullet was fired from the 9mm handgun and was a self-inflicted gunshot wound killing the shooter.

The new report doesn’t say how many struck the victims, but the information that came out in the hours and days after the attack make it seem that many of the victims were hit multiple times.

5.56 is not much of a man-stopper. It’s high-velocity, small caliber, which means if your target’s small and not that heavily built, the bullet may expend most of its energy passing cleanly through unless you hit a major organ or blood vessel. So six shots per target would seem about right.
