No offense but I really wish you'd change your avatar; I don't like the way your posts sound in my head, now. :biggrin2:First I'm hearing of this. Doesn't mean you didn't post it but it does mean if you did I didn't read it.
I think I've mentioned it obliquely. I don't think I've started a thread about it...First I'm hearing of this. Doesn't mean you didn't post it but it does mean if you did I didn't read it.
safe travels.Sorry guys going to have to check out on the thread. Packing up to head home on the redeye. Honesty after seeing the aftermath firsthand last night/this morning, it is a little too much at the moment to see this venture into politics or arguing about what kind of gun the guy was shooting.
Think we can agree either the guy's family didn't keep up with him if they don't believe he was a gun enthusiast while cops found 30+ in the hotel and his house or he was doing someone else's work.As of late Monday, authorities seized over 30 firearms that Paddock had either in his hotel room or at his home in Mesquite, where police also seized explosives and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Lombardo said several pounds of ammonium nitrate, a material used to make explosives, was found Paddock's car.
Lombardo also said investigators still want to talk to Paddock's girlfriend. He said she will be interviewed when she returns from an overseas trip. Lombardo says she's in Tokyo.
Rita Katz, director of the SITE Intel Group that monitors terrorist groups, tweeted that the Islamic State issued statements saying Paddock was one of their soldiers and that he converted to Islam months ago. However, Aaron Rouse, chief of the FBI’s Las Vegas office, said no connection to the militant group had been found.
I remember when you posted about the need to start carrying again. All you stated at that time was that it was related to an issue at work.I think I've mentioned it obliquely. I don't think I've started a thread about it...
Yes, but that doesn't really mean much. ISIS claimed responsibility when I stubbed my toe last week.Has anyone heard the rumor that he was a very recent convert to Islam?

Interesting. None of the clips I've seen/heard had a bump. That's why I posted the YouTube clip, to show the difference. The bump is easily twice as fast as the clip of the massacre. It's not pop-pop-pop. It's pa-pa-pop. The shots almost run into each other since they're cycling as fast as the mechanism will move. I probably should tell this, but recently I used my AR to take out a groundhog I'd trapped. I tried with my pellet gun, but it didn't have enough power. Just in time, I remembered to lock the bump or it would have been embarrassing. It was on the 4th of July, thank goodness. I have something more reasonable, and without a muzzle brake, now for that chore.One of the rifles had a bump stock.
Edit: apparently multiple.
Reasonable, smeasonable. You do whatever it takes to deal with the varmint....I probably should tell this, but recently I used my AR to take out a groundhog I'd trapped.

I saw something last night saying some officers got to his room, but Paddox shot through the door at them. That led to the officers waiting on SWAT to arrive.Interesting.

On the radio this morning, they played clips of the police traffic. They located him almost immediately and one man was on the floor below him in minutes. I wonder why they waited an hour, even with all of the obvious reasons for caution. He did a lot of damage in the meantime. Other things about the timeline also bother me - the actual interval of the active fire and the total until he was taken down, for example...
You may already know this but there is something very cathartic, even pleasing, about taking out such pests with a much larger caliber round. :biggrin2:LOL! I hadn't thought of the comparison. In addition to the bump stock, my AR has a muzzle brake, which makes it twice as loud, because the gases are directed upward and to the side to defeat muzzle hop. This is particularly important with a bump stock, to keep on target. I have a .22 with "Suppressor" rounds for the pests...
You may have just diagnosed the shooter.You may already know this but there is something very cathartic, even pleasing, about taking out such pests with a much larger caliber round. :biggrin2:
