I mean, on day 1 they killed like 4 of the ATF guys. Shot them THROUGH the walls.
Only reason there weren’t more casualties on the ATF side, is because they immediately backed off after that and stayed several dozen yards back. Hard to aim at a target you can’t see, through walls, 70 yards away.
Not that I’m defending them. I’m just saying that yes, their guns WERE lethal, and they DID hold the government agents at bay. That siege went on 24/7 for like 3-4 months. It only ended when David Koresh just started killing everybody inside the compound, and burning everything.
