I think we all know the story - if you don't then here you go:

I *DO NOT* want to start yet another "debate" about the effectiveness of the 5.7 round. I would like to find an after-action report about exactly what did transpire during the rescue and takedown phase of the operation. Information seems to be extremely limited on the exact details of the operation.
The question I have is in regards to the anecdotal stories I've heard on the Interweb about how the targets had to be sprayed down to drop them.
A few things immediately come to mind about the situation that can tweak the outcome, the first being that the P90s in use were suppressed, and the exact type of ammunition is apparently unknown. One would assume off-the-shelf factory ammunition, however normal suppressed rounds are loaded to be subsonic, therefore perhaps it wasn't the ammo you and I can buy.
I'm trying to understand only what happened. How many rounds were fired? How long did the firefight last? What did the autopsy reports show, if anything?
