The Mandalay Bay lobby video of his checking in will be chilling to see.

Yeah he was definitely using a very high capacity magazine. I’d guess a 50 round drum. You can hear the pause in the shooting for about 5-6 seconds. Plenty of time to fumble a heavy mag into place and chamber.

If his drums are like mine, gonna need to do a lot more smacking on the mag to unbind a spring feed issue than any 30 rd mag I've ever used...

Me too. It sounds like bump firing but not an AK. Not sure.


It does sound more like bump firing than full-auto. Like there are some inconsistencies in the rate of fire. It also sounds like something smaller than 5.56 or 7.62... almost like the crack of a .22lr (which I doubt it is due to the distance and amount of casualties). I need to find some more videos.

Watching FOX right now, and they just showed live video of Mandalay Bay. That flashing light in that GIF is still blinking.

That wasn't the gun...

He probably just walked in with luggage. I mean, would you think anything of someone walking into a hotel with a few suitcases?
Asian lady will be the major focus now. I'm very curious to know her position in all of this

Active shooter on Vegas Strip...at least 50 dead
Old navy seal dan kicked rocks as soon as it started.




But he had time to film himself running away so he can always claim he was there. He's a douchebag.

With 50 dead, definitely not a .22

Just go to LiveLeak

Lots of videos have been posted on there. It was basically a fish in the barrel type situation.

Likely right but it could be a belt feed

I posted that earlier. One is a blue light, and the other, which is where cameras were focused is a white light. Both are still blinking

Doesn't sound like normal auto to me. Sounds like one of those Gat Crank mods.

It could be but I’ve been around a frick ton of gun enthusiasts in my life and I’ve only seen one belt fed weapon.

Whereas you can walk into any gun store and walk out with a 50 round drum(pending which state, obviously)

Obviously it's terrorism

How?
Are you dense? Anything that makes people afraid to go to an outdoor concert, anything that makes people afraid to go to a nightclub, anything that makes people afraid to go to school, is terrorism.

You think it was a crime of passion vs a crowd of 30,000+? No. It was blatantly for fear and hatred alone. Nothing more. Now, it could be racially motivated terrorism, or politically motivated terrorism, or maybe something else. It's all speculation at this point. But don't get it mixed up - something like this is done to incite terror - and if you watch the videos during the shooting, he did just that.

Agreed. Just saying it reminds me of the crack of .22lr
