Why is it that everyone there said it was automatic weapons and you, who were not, says it wasn’t. It certainly sounded like machine gun bursts.

This really offends me.

Why should gang bangers get to have automatic weapons when I don't?

When you pull the trigger the gun automatically fires! It’s science!

I know what automatic fire sounds like - and that wasn’t full auto. 15 months in Vietnam and lots of “meeting engagements” with 40 of us, fighting more than 40 of them.

Anyone notice the flashes of the bullet impacts in the road? Steel core ammo - and those bozos are what we used to call “noise makers” in firefights.

1- Army BCT 1976
2- Assisted RCNCO 1980-83
3- NRA cert’d pistol instructor/RSO since 1999
4- I’ve owned a double handful of select-fire weapons, been at Knob Creek MG shoot twice, shot many more, built many on a friend’s C7/SOT as PMDS guns.
5- Those are SEMI-automatic guns IMHO. time between shots varies.

FWIW.

At no point in the video could I see (or hear) any full auto fire. These guys are just pulling triggers as fast as they can. On a shot timer, I can get splits of about .17 seconds, sometimes faster if I’m having a good day.

Anyone who thinks this is automatic small arms fire doesn’t know what it looks/sounds like
