*Overall, he was wearing a flannel shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap. He carried a Glock 26 (pictured) and a Glock 19 (not pictured although the magazine pictures are mags for the 19), the bullets he used were Hornaday Critical Defense hollow points (for both the 19 & 26). He also carried a boot knife.

The three handguns he allegedly carried with him, according to his social media, one was a Glock 31, another a Glock 32 and the third a Glock 33. He also used a AR15 with a leather strap but I was unable to find any pictures of it. Interestingly enough, all the handguns he used were chambered in .357SIG which is a fairly uncommon cartridge.

I'm surprised 357 SIG hasn't been used more, since it's pretty much meant to be 357 Magnum except for pistols.

It's pretty costly and it's ballistics aren't too different than .40 S&W other than it having a flatter shooting profile (better for longer range) but that wouldn't matter much in a mass shooting since most victims are usually shot from pretty close range. It's also produces a pretty large muzzle flash which can be a bit disorienting for the shooter too. Honestly a 9/40/45 could all do the same job as the 357 for much less of the cost given that shot placement and accuracy are the biggest factor in whether or not a bullet actually kills/seriously injures a target.

Wait, how did Zawahri acquire a modern day pistol? I thought the fact he couldn't easily acquire weapons like that was the whole reason he built his own AR-15, used an old school revolver, and built zip guns?

It could've been an airsoft gun.
Why would he bring an airsoft gun with him?

I don't think he brought it with him, it was probably just in his house.

He burnt his house down so I doubt that. The police probably wouldn't of took a pic if it wasn't real.

He probably didn't bring his zip guns yet they took pictures of those. Also the police took a picture of Adam Lanza's airsoft gun.

Adam didn't burn his house down though did he. He most likely got the gun illegally or was owned by a family member.

Maybe it survived the house getting set on fire. Also why wouldn't he use it if it was a real gun that he had access to?

Maybe, although I'm pretty sure it would signs of being burned. Maybe he didn't get the chance? I'm pretty sure he only ever used his AR-15.

Doesn't mention anything about him carrying the Colt pistol.

Ah I guess it wasn't a real gun then.

I find it interesting when shooters carve, write or draw things on their weapons. As @Tommy QTR commented in another thread, Anders Breivik did it. So did Aaron Alexis (gun), Patrick Purdy (gun and magazines), the "three musketeers (knife), Eric Harris (knife), Nikolas Cruz (magazines), and probably many more I don't know. Do you know others?

Randy Stair carved "Rachel" and "Mckenzie" onto his shotguns.

Nikolas Cruz also carved swastikas into the stock of one of his Mossberg shotguns (not used in the shooting though).
