I’m listening to Fox reporter spout all kinds of firearm nonsense. “The AR-15 “assault rifle” can shoot 100 rounds in 9 seconds. The shooter was probably carrying “thousands” of rounds of ammo.
Scummedia will spin this the way they are told to.
Yea. I don’t care how fast you pull the trigger on a semi-automatic firearm, 100 rounds in 9 seconds is practically impossible.
The cyclic rate of an M16 is 750. Of course it would be difficult to fire that unless it was belt fed. A 1000 rounds of 5.56 weighs just under 27 pds. Technically, the reporter is correct.
Fux News is full-on liberal these days.
Rank ignorance doesn’t help.
I’ll grant that assault weapons can be used to kill a lot of people very fast.
And note that the largest mass murders in the US didn’t use guns at all.
The Left is facing serious cognitive dissonance over the fact that a Muslim, acting on clear Islamic principles, just murdered a lot of gays for being gay. And that while he used a gun, he also had a non gun which if used would have had the same results.
The reporter probably could have done a little research such as reading:

“thousands of rounds of ammo”.
That raghead, camel humper must have been one big dude.
I was miserable carrying 20 mags of 20 rounds each.
Of course our preferred child killing, fag killing, LGBTXYZ killing, weapon of choice back then was the M-14 rifle.
Didn’t have any of those 500 round “assault clips” that could be fired in 2 seconds that these guys have today.
