People seem to be forgetting what sort of ammunition He used, we used to call them Dum Dums; soft nosed bullets, that are designed to spread out on impact. Small hole on entry and a hole the size of a Dinner Plate on exit, whoever was in that Toilet would have been killed for sure.
Presumably he used whatever was already loaded in the gun. All the evidence points to a rash, angry act, not a premediated one. If she had taken refuge in the toilet because she was scared, knowing she had her mobile with her would have meant he needed to act fast ... assuming the burglar scenario is a fantasy. So, I'm not sure the type of ammunition used means he deliberately meant to inflicit extra damage on his girlfriend. Rather, it suggests, when the ammunition was acquired, he knew if he ever used the gun against someone, he would probably kill them.
I see it as a case of a testosterone-fuelled man in a fury over-reacting to a perceived threat. Whether that threat was Reeva doing something he did not like or an intruder is the question.
