Dont m16's fire in 3 round bursts?
Via: Washington Post:
Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman's forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player's death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
"The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described,"? a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.
The doctors _ whose names were blacked out _ said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.
Ultimately, the Pentagon did conduct a criminal investigation, and asked Tillman's comrades whether he was disliked by his men and whether they had any reason to believe he was deliberately killed. The Pentagon eventually ruled that Tillman's death at the hands of his comrades was a friendly-fire accident.
The medical examiners' suspicions were outlined in 2,300 pages of testimony released to the AP this week by the Defense Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

Have no idea. But its pretty hard to mistake someone 10 yards away.
True but weird things happen in the heat of the moment.

yeh but if it is a 3 round burst and the barrel didnt drift much seems it would have a pretty tight pattern from farther away to. Plus these guys are docs that dont really make them experts on firearms.
GO VOLS
I'm sure they are educated enough to know how far away the shot was fired. I really don't know, just seems really fishy. The guy was a hero IMO.
