domi said:I wanted to add my 2 cents.
I added a comment to the article on sott.net because something doesn't add up about this guy firing 1000 rounds of .223 ammo.
I'm just applying some common sense to the problem and it seems to me there is some sort of logistical and practical problem with this story.
Somebody please show me a tactical vest that can hold 30 or more magazines of 30 rounds.
So that means he was walking around with 33 to 35 lbs of loaded magazines. (1000 rounds of 223 being around 28 lbs). Seems like he needed a backpack or carry bag.
50lb drum magazines are very bulky and it still would have required 20 of those to fire 1000 rounds since I doubt this guy was reloading anything. Try reloading a mag even with a speed loader and you'll notice it takes a while.
Questions:
- where was he carrying all this ammo?
- where did he purchase all these magazines? (regular 30 rounders or 50 round drum mags).
- how did he logistically bring all this ammo in?
- how did the constant firing not cause some sort of barrel warp and subsequent rifle failure after shooting so many rounds? I would have expected rifle failure before the 1000 round mark under rapid fire conditions. (the barrel gets hot you know)
Seems like a fantasy that one guy shot 1000 rounds. Either that or the the number of rounds fired is much lower.
Many are asking some of the same questions:
The Math that doesn’t add up:

A man walks in to a night club with an AR-15, shoots 103 people in under 7 minutes at 2am. The majority of the victims were shot multiple times, some as many as 12 times, with reports of several dozen rounds fired in the air and several dozens of rounds missing. 3 hours later, engages in a gun battle with 9 police officers that lasts nearly an hour.
So let me get this straight…one lone shooter in under 7 minutes reloaded his AR-15 30 times with 30rd magazines in under 7 minutes, firing nearly 1,000rds of .223 ammunition while in a nightclub surrounded by 320 people, managing to kill and injure 1/3 of them, takes a 3 hour break, and then engages in another gun battle lasting nearly and hour in what was described as a “hail of bullets” with a SWAT team?
Having years and years of experience with AR-15s, it would take me nearly 7 minutes to reload 30 times…let alone having time to aim and shoot 1,000 rounds semi-automatic in between firing dozens of rounds in the air screaming “Aloha Snack Bar”…just saying…something doesn’t add up…
Let’s not even mention the fact that he managed to have 30, 30rd AR mags loaded and at the ready in order to do it under 7 minutes. If he is holding an ammo can in one hand (that weighs 40 pounds) and an AR in the other…what was he doing…reloading and firing with one hand at the same time? Either that, or he had a tactical vest from Hell that was able to hold 30 mags!! Something ain’t right folks…
ULTIMATE AR-15 MELTDOWN!
