Investigators have found that 35 rounds of 7.62 mm rounds have been fired from T-56 assault rifles during the Rambukkana incident. According to them, 4 T-56 rifles have been used to control the crowds on that fateful day.
Experts believe the 7.62mm ammo used in the T-56 Rifle does more harm to the victim than the 5.56mm ammo widely used in M-16mm used by the Police Special Taskforce. Furthermore, law enforcement units typically use the 5.56mm ammo since it is accurate and is most likely to wound than cause a fatal death.
