    Not full auto. My bet is still on an AK variant with drum magazine, and maybe slidefire or something similar. Cyclic rates are not consistent enough to be full auto fire.

    The clack clack of an AK is something I will never forget....

    More folks in the news are saying the same. Most likely not full auto.

    "Slidfire did not respond to request for comment". I think they are going to stay as far away from this as possible. Especially if it was their product that was used.

    There has also been reports of him being employed by Lockheed Martin and a witness claiming there was a couple roaming around about 45 minuets before the shooting saying “your all going to die tonight”. Sounds VERY suspicious to me.

    Slide fire round up in3..2..1. The sheriff said he didn't know if the sear pin had been filed. I think it was the tripod that made the weapons so lethal. I can't watch the madness anymore.

    Outside of conspiracy theorists, is anyone still talking about the possibility of multiple shooters? A couple of the cops in the audio said ppl were reporting shooters on the ground in different locations.

    I've read that gun purchase records indicate Paddock legally bought more than two dozen firearms over a period of years from several dealers, including a store in Mesquite, NV, and another in Arizona. I'm not too knowledgeable about the applicable regs, but are out-of-state purchases allowed?

    I wonder if anyone noticed all that glass falling to the ground before the shooting started. Probably took some time to hammer all that glass. 2 very big heavy duty windows. Reports said he didn't shoot them out. Just curious if there were any reports of people getting hurt or seeing falling glass? This whole thing just don't make sense. Maybe in time we will learn motive but as of now a big roll of tinfoil might be in order.

    There is a video going around showing what they claim is muzzle flashes from the 4th floor. Honestly could be a tv in the room behind the curtains or just faked.

    Middle of the night I was looking at TV and saw a gun store owner interview. It was a place in Utah, Dixie GunWorx whi said he vame in 3 tmes that he knew of. Once to look and chit chat, another same was to buy a shot gun.
    Made a point to say how normal he was and how nice he was and how he passed all checks. As the store never sells to anyone even if they pass the checks but are not right

    No way would I have done that interview! You know the Hotel, Concert, Gun stores and makers will end up sued sometime with that many persons.
    Also makes it look like more gun regs are needed

    Here is something to think about....why has every mass murderer/shooter I can remember in the USA been a male?

    Back to the UT tower shooter in 1966. No violent, mentally ill, female gun owners?

    I don’t think this vids showing shots from the lower level are fake. When the original cell vids were coming out I was watching the upper levels and saw no flash of any kind. Even with a flash hider there would be something to see as dark as it was. But if it was a tv it awfully coincidental that it’s only flashing when you can hear gunfire.
