It seems to me like "hundreds" of the type of rounds fired by Navy Seals would turn the body into Hamburger Helper. Secondly. I'm sure that all the Seals were acutely aware of the importance of positive identification, and wouldn't want to be the one that jeopardized that. That, taken along with later descriptions of the body and of the burial at sea, makes this seem highly exaggerated. Maybe there was an extra few rounds to make sure he was down, but I don't know about everybody there pumping rounds into him for posterity. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Navy Seals are more disciplined than that.
