Did The Vegas Shooter Use A Fully Automatic Weapon?
[HOTAIR] Opinion is divided this morning on Twitter among people who, unlike me, know more than the most basic basics about firearms. It’s not a matter of mere curiosity; as you (should) know, fully automatic weapons have been illegal in the U.S. for decades, which is why even mass shooters hellbent on murder unto death never use them. If Stephen Paddock used a machine gun, how on earth did he get it?
That’s a big “if” but listen to the shots in the clip below. The rate of fire is fantastically fast, way too much for a “one pull, one shot” semiautomatic. That’s an automatic, no? Unless the YouTube clip is fake, it sure sounds like an automatic weapon, with a pretty big magazine. It'll be interesting to see how he acquired it.
