79 minutes?
He was only active for 10 minutes.
_________________________________________
So,in ten minutes of time, he killed 59 people and wounded over 500. That adds up to +559 bullets assuming one per individual killed/wounded which means one person per second was going down. I am not a gun expert so will someone with gunfire knowledge explain if that is possible.
I am thinking that not every fired bullet struck a person, so in then minutes how many shots did he get off? 600, 700,800, ???. With all the camera recordings with audio of the shots being fired, it seems that the total number of shots fired into the crowd could be counted. Is the sheriff or the FBI going to do this?
As said I am not an expert in these matters, but for one man using one weapon at a time, how could this rate of gunfire be sustained by this one man? The TV video I have seen and heard shows lapses in the firing, “to reload” that also needs to be accounted for. Did he have all his weapons (23?) loaded and ready to go so that he could just keep firing? Also, he broke out two windows to fire from so it would take 30 seconds or so to move from one window to the other within the alleged ten minutes of active firing. The movement time of one to two minutes would be non firing time that is included in the “ten” minutes of firing.
The above are the observations of this one not an expert old fart who would like to hear explanations from the arms experts that exist here on FR. I look forward to the answers/comments. They better be good......
I think it’s a mistake to assume all injuries were caused by bullets. You’ve got many thousands of people trying to scramble away from the concert, a lot probably in a blind panic.
People throwing themselves to the floor at a new burst of gunfire, throwing themselves over barriers, tripping, falling on other people. That’s a recipe for all sorts of cuts, scrapes, concussions, twisted ankles,fractured elbows etc.
At some point we’ll get a complete count of the number of injured people suffering actual gunshot wounds, but I’d expect a situation that chaotic would have involved a lot of secondary injuries too.
I know. It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
A trained professional life long shooter would have a challenge pulling numbers like this guy supposedly did in 10 - 15 minutes.
I ran the numbers in another thread. Figure at the high end he fired 940 rounds. Low end 740. That’s at 60 rounds every 45 seconds for 10 minutes, and rounding up too.
There’s just no way this was a lone shooter or that we are told the truth.
