The shooters are definitely using illegal full auto weapons jesus christ. Listen to that video.

the gunfire in that vid straight up sounds like a machine gun what the fuck

[QUOTE=PILLS HERE!;52737334]the gunfire in that vid straight up sounds like a machine gun what the fuck[/QUOTE] Because it probably is an illegally modified one.

Things sound pretty bad. Someone on the police scanner just called for transport truck[b]s[/b] to pick up wounded.

That motherfuckers got a belt fed. I've shot 30-60 round full autos, they don't last more than 3 seconds.

Shots fired in New York New York and Circus Circus as well. nsfw [url]https://twitter.com/davidsakach/status/914730995147870208[/url] [editline]1st October 2017[/editline] Car bomb in the Luxor.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;52737340]That motherfuckers got a belt fed. I've shot 30-60 round full autos, they don't last more than 3 seconds.[/QUOTE] If it's a belt fed I wonder where the hell he got it considering they are illegal for civilian use unless you have a class 3 or are willing to pay $45,000+.

[QUOTE=Cinnamonbun;52737357]If it's a belt fed I wonder where the hell he got it considering they are illegal for civilian use unless you have a class 3 or are willing to pay $45,000+.[/QUOTE] He likely made it, converting from full auto isn't hard. Likely using a drum mag as well. [editline]1st October 2017[/editline] Apparently there is shots at the Tropicana as well.

Was discussing with a friend who's firearms savvy - we can agree that it almost certainly sounds like a machinegun - likely belt-fed or a high capacity magazine over 30 rounds

Police confirmed shooter Tropicana. FBI enroute.

What the fuck. In such a populated area too. If he's just targeting random people, he could end up killing MANY with a gun setup like that.

[QUOTE=Paul-Simon;52737364]What the fuck. In such a populated area too. If he's just targeting random people, he could end up killing MANY with a gun setup like that.[/QUOTE] It certainly sounds like multiple people.

Something to remember, multiple possible shooters, IEDs, and diversions. It's a coordinated attack.

Medics are being shot at

EMTs are being shot at, at Tropicana.

So I'm watching some satellite feeds from CNN, FOX and ABC. One witness walked up to the reporter and said it looked like a warzone saying there was multiple cops down. Also here's the local news feeds: FOX [url]http://www.fox5vegas.com/category/214173/fox5newslive[/url] ABC [url]http://www.ktnv.com/livestream[/url] NBC [url]http://news3lv.com/live[/url] CBS [url]http://www.lasvegasnow.com/live-stream[/url]

They breached one of the rooms. One shooter down.

Scanner is saying 1 suspect down Mandalay Bay.

Apparently more shots are coming in from Caesers and other casinos. They keep flip flopping on it. EMTs where saying they where being shot at, though. Zebra 20 confirmed that one shooter is down, and he had multiple firearms.

wow the fox 5 stream has a livestream mirror and you can hear gunshots go on for like 5-10 seconds straight

So I just found this article from earlier this year... [url]http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/new-isis-video-appears-to-threaten-las-vegas/493629912[/url]

There is a cop on the radio saying there is an armed man shooting in the Paris.

And it seems like the intent is to take as many people with them before they die in a strike of terrorism.

Seriously why do people do this shit omfg

Unless they've indoctrinated someone already living in the US.

[media]https://twitter.com/davidsakach/status/914730995147870208[/media] Apparently the shooting started here, at a concert. You can hear the fully automatic weapons.

[editline]1st October 2017[/editline] Apparently there is shots at the Tropicana as well.[/QUOTE] Drum mags aren't the most reliable or easy to carry around, though he could be using one. If it's a belt-fed, it was likely stolen from a military/police armory, or purchased illegally from a source south of the border.

[QUOTE=Xyrec;52737409]But how would someone from ISIS even get into the country right now? Unless they've indoctrinated someone already living in the US.[/QUOTE] Plenty of ways to get into a country besides flying in. On the West coast, sneaking through Mexico would be a fairly strong possibility, it it isn't home-grown. If they're willing to shoot up a concert, I'm sure they're willing to breach immigration laws. :v:
