Listening to the video...close to 30 seconds of sustained fire at one point...deeper sound than 5.56 (more of a "thud thud" than a "crack crack")...so IMHO he either illegally modified semi-auto (single shot) rifles or illegally purchased fully auto weapons and some how got them into the country.
Another possibility I mentioned previously......http://www.slidefire.comhttp://www.bumpfiresystems.comThese are legal devices that can allow a standard high capacity semi-auto to cycle in a full auto fashion.
Agreed. And how many people have been killed with knives or other sharp instruments? In countries where firearms are banned, killers will find some other way to inflict mass casualties. I just found it both amusing and appalling that the dead aren't even cold yet and already, the media is pushing for gun bans.

Horrible news. Prayers up for the victims' families. Any news on the possible motive yet?
Anybody know if the windows can be opened at Mandalay Bay? Guess if not, he could have just broken one out for his spree.
Yeah that's a possibility as well. Hopefully here soon they will update us on what types of weapons were found instead of just how many.
I doubt windows can be opened in most hotels nowadays. It's an insurance thing. In this sue-happy society, hotels don't want to be liable if someone falls out or jumps.
@txradioguy I went to bed around midnight, central time and wake up to this - couldn't believe the numbers killed and wounded. The numbers I heard a short time ago from the news briefing was over 50 killed and over 400 wounded. This was not a spur of the moment shooting. That killer had been in the hotel for a few days, putting this all together. Now hearing he had ten guns in the room.Get ready for a liberal call to take everyone's guns from them.
I have been to plenty of hotels that have balconies, and expect one can get some on the Strip too.
We don't have a motive or complete background on the guy, yet, but that venue and crowd was chosen for a reason. Another James Hodgkinson type is not out of the question.
Vegas Concert Goer Says Woman Warned Them They Would Be Killed Right Before ShootingBy Ryan SaavedraOctober 2, 2017A concert goer at the Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas said that a woman pushed her way into the concert venue and told everyone in the immediate vicinity that they were going to “die tonight.”A young woman told a local NBC affiliate that another young woman told a group of people in the concert they were going to “die tonight” before supposedly being escorted from the conference roughly 45 minutes before the shooting happened. ...
Video of the hotel does not show any balconies. Come to think of it, none of the hotels I stayed in on the Strip had balconies.
Monday, October 2, 2017Breaking News: Heads I Win, Tails You LoseLegend has it that whenever Dorothy Parker’s phone or doorbell rang she would utter “what fresh hell can this be?” That’s how I feel when I turn on the news.So indeed, what fresh hell is this? Nobody knows nuthin’ yet. Except that the perpetrator was a white guy - Were he not, we still wouldn’t know his name.All we know for sure is that the left will politicize the Las Vegas massacre for their purposes. Either the shooter was a Trump supporter and therefore all Trump supporters are responsible. Or, if he was not, he was driven to madness by Trump. Heads they win, tails you lose. ...
The Mandalay doesn't have them but some hotels do. The Palms in Las Vegas has a few amazing party suites with them. The typical room that I can afford doesn't have them, its the pricey ones.
@IsailedawayfromFR No they cannot be opened unless of course you break them.
