There is also some question, remaining as yet unanswered conclusively,
as to who actually fired first.   The Davidians, or the agents.   The
recording of the call made by the Branch Davidians would seem to
indicate that the more distant sounding shots came just a split second
or two before the closer shots, from within the house.  Also that
the, "My God their shooting at us!", that came after the distant shots
would be a strong indicator that perhaps one of the BATF agents may
have been young, inexperienced, and perhaps a bit trigger happy.
