Ron Butterfield's voice cuts through the hospital room's stifled horror, naming the .357 Desert Eagle as the other attacker's hulking sidearm—paired with a 9mm Beretta—its raw power mismatched for mass slaughter, bullets tearing limited paths instead of mowing down crowds. Bartlet leans forward, Abbey clutches Zoey's hand, Charlie freezes mid-step; the weapon's specs anchor their stunned recalibration of the night's carnage.
