Thanks for your response.
Sheriff said the first firing (sounds like 100 rounds to me) were 308 aiming at the fuel tank. They found bullets there had penetrated the outer lawyer of the tank.
That initial burst sounds full auto to me.
Sheriff said they found a number of guns that had jammed.
Ballistics will be able to match bullets with weapons.
Seems more likely to me that the accomplice or accomplices got cold feet. One was likely supported to position the bomb vehicle at the scene to be ignited by gunfire. Shooter as people tried to flee or set up crossfire.
Deaths could have been in the hundreds if it were a team.
Sadly this might have created a template for the next sick group to use to attack us.
Shooting at the crowd to move them to the tank area
Then blowing the tanks
Tertiary target of his car/a car with explosives
Did the room have doors to other rooms?
I shoot a lot, but after 100 rounds of full-auto .308, I would not want to shoot anything bigger than a .223. Note: I could shoot .223 all day without even a bruise.
You’re welcome. I always enjoy a fact-based discussion regarding firearms, ballistics, tactics, etc. - as opposed to the emotion-driven screeds of uninformed blissninnies (A.K.A. liberals) or the rantings of those who wish to control us (A.K.A. Leftists or Communists).
“Sheriff said the first firing (sounds like 100 rounds to me) were 308 aiming at the fuel tank. They found bullets there had penetrated the outer lawyer of the tank.”
It’d be interesting to find out if he used AP or API rounds or not. Because if he had used them, particularly API rounds, those tanks might well have blown. Both types are available...they are certainly more expensive than normal bullets, and sometimes you just get them as loose bullets and need to reload some cases, but this could be done without too much trouble or expense.
WRT the vehicle, it is a very good thing that there weren’t one or more placed at strategic places and loaded with Tannerite (and full tanks of gas). You could have literally hundreds of pounds of Tannerite in the back seat or trunk of a standard sedan, and that’d produce a MASSIVE explosion that would be initiated by mere high-velocity contact with a bullet (not to mention the effect of 15-20 gallons of gasoline).
Deaths could have been in the thousands if this was carried out well, team or not (but especially with a team).
FYI, Tannerite can be purchased or made...the formula is not hard to obtain at all (though I won’t help anyone do that). Note that the materials are not all that hard to obtain or process, either. I think that this is part of the reason why we haven’t had full disclosure of all of the facts learned SO FAR, and why I think that we will NEVER get all of the facts known - it’ll give too many ideas to stupid, but evil, people.
