What weapons did the the killers use at columbine?

Eric Carried an Intratec TEC-DC9 and a Savage 311-D 12-gauge double-barrel shotgun (barrel sawed down to approximately 23 inches).

Dylan Carried a 10-shot Hi-Point model 995 carbine rifle and a Savage-Springfield 67H 12-gauge pump shotgun (stock and barrel sawed off, reducing the entire gun to 26 inches).

The sawed-off weapons, both around 30 years old, were so short that firing repeatedly from them caused their hands to bleed on the practice range initially. They apparently acclimatized to the weapons over the months preceding the shootings. Both gunmen also carried several knives, but they did not use them on April 20. They named their pipe bombs. Four bombs are mentioned on Eric's website, along with their specs. 'Vengeance' and 'Atlanta' were found at the Klebold residence when police searched it.

Why is Rachel joy Scott famous?

She was the first victim shot and killed at the Columbine massacre. She was so nice, and she would never hurt anyone. She was sweet and we miss her.

Rachel was born on August 5,1981 and died on April 20,1999. When they asked her if she believed in God, she said,"You Know I Do." Her journals became famous, and her words have touched everyone's hearts who have heard them. She was not afraid to give her life to God. She knew she would die at a young age, and it was like she knew this was going to happen. That is why Rachel Joy Scott is so famous.

R.I.P Rachel Joy Scott.
