belt fed

Don't think so. Slide fire stock methinks. Possibly an auto glove. Probably pre positioned a few rifles with drums and picked up another weapon rather than reload.

First one was a 50-75 rd drum while music playing. Very slow reload to the next magazine. Probably not a second shooter which would start firing when the other shooter stops. Very VERY slow reload. Probably a slide fire stock or auto-glove that makes semi's bump fire (similar to full auto) and hard to reload.

There is a video on twitter that makes me believe this is an auto glove due to variable ROF (rate of fire) going up and down. Either that or there were two rifles being shot at once.

Methinks this will be the weapon. Semi auto AR 15 with belt fed upper (accessory) with a bump fire stock (slidefire)...possibly an auto glove.

I highly doubt he used ATF form 4d weapons.

After listening to several YouTube clips, a bumpfire stock sounds right. Too regular foe a Fostech echo, some hesitations rule out full auto.

An AR-15 isn't that loud. No way it was an AR-15. It sounded an awful lot like a G30 to me. Same rate of fire, same deep throated sound. Yes, I've fired a G30.

Not slide fire unless this guy practiced with it a lot. The volley was too evenly spaced. No, this was a try full auto w/ burst

I am with you on the 50-75 round drum. Counted first volley, believe 50. Took a long time to slap in second mag tells me it was not a 40 round mag or two 30s taped together opposite each other.

If it was belt fed he would have had to stick with belt fed on every reload. First volley, 50 rounds reload, second volley less than 50, reload?? Look at your picture. See that black thing where the mag goes. That is a plug to fill hole up to not allow for mags. So, every reload would have to be belt fed.

Also belt fed needs feeder person or requires shooter to fire one handed and risk breaking/bending belt. So maybe he really did have a helper. One handed shooting would have been tough to score the hits he was getting.

One other problem with belt fed if you are the shooter. They leave around a ton of evidence that you would have to police if you were the shooter. What they are saying he was standing on a balcony so probably some of it fell to the ground. In this case, the efer is dead so evidence like this does not matter to him only the MSM to use.

Could easily be an illegal full auto.

We will find out eventually.
