I thought slide fire. The cadence of fire seems irregular, doesn’t sound like a true full auto. I suppose it doesn’t really matter. Whether perpetrated with guns, knives, bombs or trucks; the real weapon is evil. There will be dark times ahead as selfish ignorant people cloud issues for political positioning. It will make us sick on many levels. I have already heard some politicizing on the news this morning.Soccerdad1995 wrote:To me, it sounded like the rate of fire changed from fast to slower, then back to faster. Almost like hearing a Gatling gun. Slide or bump fire might make sense.imkopaka wrote:I hadn't considered that. When the CNN analyst said it was a fully automatic and maybe even belt-fed weapon, I laughed and immediately disregarded it as CNN being....well, CNN. But then I saw the video and I agreed - it did sound like a machine gun. I hadn't considered slide or bump fire.gregthehand wrote:It sounds like the shooter has an extended magazine and just dumps a whole mag in the video. This is very preliminary but I've heard a few Slide Fires being used this just tends to sound like one. Or some other kind of bump fire device. If I'm right I'd expect to see such devices under heavy scrutiny very soon.
I cannot imagine the pain of all affected by this murderous act.
