You’re the one that brought the drum mags up.

only to prove that drum mags weren't used here.

My opinion has been that it was a belt fed MG all along.

Well done, me too!

Sounded like AK47 fire from the video.

Although very hard to tell.

No it doesn’t say two shooters. Just one.

CNN, Fox, ABC, AP still report 2 dead.

The MSM still sez Chernobyl only killed 30.

The mandalay bay is southwest of the concert site, so the shooter was shooting northeast into the crowd. The shooter did not have the angle to hit any one on the stage, which faces away from mandalay bay.

“One suspect was in room 135 of the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay has been shot dead, hotel room had multiple firearms found.”

Fox News live now - medic says he saw 15-20 dead.

So would that lead you to believe more than one shooter?

Here is a good up close video of the sound. Sounds to me like an AK-47.

You may have to click the speaker on the video to hear it.

Does anyone know if President Trump has tweeted about this yet?

Agreed. After the stage front area clears out, most of the kneeling groups (treating victims?) are closer to the stage. It doesn’t take a tactical genius to know where and when to find a crowd at a concert. I’m not getting testy with you..just feelin it, ok?

I slowed down a couple of these clips in Quicktime - it had a cyclic rate of about 600 and there was at least one burst where I just stopped counting after 60 rounds. It sounded like something .30 cal or so.

There was also either echoes or a lighter caliber weapon firing short bursts overlaying at least one of the larger gun’s bursts. Could be a second shooter, could be security forces shooting back.

I don’t believe so.

LIVE on Fox Now - medic said he pronounced 15 dead. 20 dead tonight. He’s live right now on Fox.

Some saying....solo shooter. 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay. Smashed out his window and fired on the concert crowd below LVMPD immediately counter-attacked and put the shooter down in his room. Situation contained. There are no other suspects and there were no other shots fired, elsewhere on the Strip

If you watch the video, then they say 2 shooters.

You are just looking at the link.
