    From the sounds of the video he had automatic weapons. Which have been banned for YEARS.

    Yeah, I am far from an expert, but that sounded like some heavy duty equipment

    Just because they claim it, doesn't make it true.

    But I have a feeling, a sneaking suspicion, that it is.

    I agree 100%. I always see the claim responsibility for "X" and think, maybe they do that so they seem to have a bigger reach than they do.

    Oh sure. Sounds credible to me.

    Yeah, I can't imagine a mass murdering group would lie either.

    Very Sad. Prayers up for the victims and families.

    This was a sick individual.
    I hate ISIS as much as anyone, but this is fake news. If it turns out to be true I'll be more than happy to admit I was wrong.

    With that consistency and rate of fire there's only 2 possibilities.
    He either had a belt feed automatic fire (something to like the likes of an M249).
    Or had semi-auto rifles with 100 round drums attached and more than one ready.

    I think he had an automatic rifle based of the rate of fire.

    How do you get your hands on something like that?

    I'm pretty sure they are illegal nation wide. However there are a lot of class III gun ranges in Las Vegas (anything to make a buck) for tourist to go experience military style weapons, they are not for sale though. Also a heavy Cartel/black market presence in Vegas. I am hearing he had multiple rifles, but that's the sound of full auto. Not saying he did not have secondary weapons, but the rate of fire is fast. There are also ways to make semi auto rifles into full auto (also illegal), it's really hard to say, but I would imagine it will come to light.

    Not being a smart ass, but I do know some folks that legitimately use them for hunting.
