Mass Shooting in Las Vegas - 58 Dead at Least 515 Injured, Suspect Killed - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=Lonestriper;52737408]Seriously why do people do this shit omfg[/QUOTE] Extremists become radicals because of other extremists, and their radicalism causes opposing extremists to become radicals.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;52737412]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] It's really easy to make an open bolt beltfed machine gun. You can order a PKM parts kit, and just weld it together. They also make belt fed ar-15 kits, which if you throw a drop in auto sear into the lower becomes basically an M249 That said, it needs to be clearly stated, this is a well planned and orchestrated attack.

[video=youtube;B7ixInjs0C4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7ixInjs0C4[/video] You can hear the cracking of the bullets at about 10 seconds in.

It sounds like multiple people from the gunshots in the nsfw video above. I hope this gets handled quickly before it gets worse.

[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] Fairly easy TBH, the guy that shot up the pulse night club was born in the US and had CC permit.

I don't want to even think about what the fallout of all this is going to be. Just watching the videos and listening to the scanner's sent a shiver up my spine.

You'd be better off having someone from the cartels hook you up with a PKM or an M60 or something along those lines, or just sticking with a semi-auto rifle. It just doesn't make any damn sense.

Here's a glimpse of what went down earlier on the police scanner. Don't mind the guy in the video. [video=youtube;x_1qjLC4WQM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_1qjLC4WQM[/video]

Some guys from Battlefield Las Vegas just arrived with tanks and armored cars.

Confirmed dead at Tropicana. Some guy walked in with a gun. Another armed man just bailed out of a truck.

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;52737431]Some guys from Battlefield Las Vegas just arrived with tanks and armored cars.[/QUOTE] was that on the scanner? any sources? (I believe you, just so that I can read up on what the fuck is happening) [QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;52737437]It was on the scanner. "Three armored cars arrived on scene, they aren't police." "They're from Battlefield Las Vegas." They rerouted them to another area.[/QUOTE] What is battlefield las vegas? I'm confused

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;52737431]Some guys from Battlefield Las Vegas just arrived with tanks and armored cars.[/QUOTE] Can they actually do that and lend it to the cops?

It just doesn't make any damn sense.[/QUOTE] I recall AK pattern rifles being really easy to convert to full-automatic because all it required was a sear and a couple other parts being dropped in AR pattern rifles require a sear as well as modifying the semi-automatic receiver but it takes a bit more effort than converting an AK to full-auto as far as magazines goes, you can easily obtain high capacity magazines in certain states - and if I recall correctly Nevada is relatively gun-friendly so it shouldn't be a problem if you're a resident there

I'm nervous as all hell. My parents are staying at the Marriott Grand Chateau. I know it's late there so they might be asleep because they're not exactly party animals or anything but I'm still worried. That particular Marriott is down the street from the Mandalay.

Some armed Civilians have showed up and are trying to help evac people. [QUOTE=PILLS HERE!;52737438]Can they actually do that and lend it to the cops?[/QUOTE] Apparently so. The police rerouted them to another area to help. They're likely packing more firepower than the PD, TBH.

Just a reminder that you all know: The Internet is a blessing and a curse. If you're tuning in, please remember that false reports spread like wildfire. Keep a level head. Terrorism breeds havoc, meet it with rationality and support.

[QUOTE=PILLS HERE!;52737438]Can they actually do that and lend it to the cops?[/QUOTE] Doubt the cops would want a bunch of roleplayers who aren't trained in these situations "assisting" them(ignoring the veterans that apparently own and operate it).

It just doesn't make any damn sense.[/QUOTE] Judging by the sound of the rifle being shot, I'm assuming it's an AK with a drum mag or a RPK converted. That and how close the shots are, judging that the shooter(s) weren't too far, but not too close.

This just doesn't make sense. Hell with it, I'm trying to rationalize decisions made by madmen. Might as well forget about it and hope not too many people have been injured.

[QUOTE=Wafflemonstr;52737445]Doubt the cops would want a bunch of roleplayers who aren't trained in these situations "assisting" them(ignoring the veterans that apparently own and operate it).[/QUOTE] They won't say no to armoured vehicles.

[QUOTE=Wafflemonstr;52737445]Doubt the cops would want a bunch of roleplayers who aren't trained in these situations "assisting" them(ignoring the veterans that apparently own and operate it).[/QUOTE] I think they might be evacuating wounded people with the armored vehicles. I'm not to sure.

I think it's unfortunately safe to change the thread title from "Possible Active Shooter" to "Active Mass Shooting" at this point.

Some gunshots just came over the police scanner. [QUOTE=Flicky;52737455]I think it's unfortunately safe to change the thread title from "Possible Active Shooter" to "Active Mass Shooting" at this point.[/QUOTE] I tried to change it, it isn't updating.

Its bullshit but this is only going to further militarize the country and further create a divide the fear tactic of literally gunning crowds down is going to work as intended the media is likely going to totally ignore the fact that [I]people died[/I] and pull their usual garbage

2 of my friends were just there for the Life is Beautiful music festival. This shit is so terrifying.

3lv is saying that police are reporting a suspicious device in front of the luxor [editline][/editline] bomb squad surrounding SUV
