If he had real full auto belt-fed rifles and more skill, the body count could have been ten times what it was for all the rounds expended. Looking at the photos available online and being familiar with that section of Vegas, the kill box was a good bit larger than two acres. Probably 15 to 20 acres to accomodate 20,000 plus targets.
20 acres in downtown Vegas? Not a chance. That was barely bigger than an acre which helped him because the targets were packed together. I had the same question about the physical ability to do this and it seems from responses here that he could have. Then the real question is who supplied him and the guns and why did he do it. There can’t be that much mystery here. I think we’re just not being told because the media doesn’t want to.
Can you imagine the carnage if he got ahold of a minigun? Iraqis lost over 100 of them when they beat feat as ISIS swarmed from Syria into more than 50% of Iraq.
Exactly. On semiautomatic with even halfway aimed fire he could have racked up ten times that body count. And nearly as fast.
