I love the combination of bump stocks for high cyclic rates AND high accuracy. never used a bump stock but i've wasted some $$ bump firing an AK, and while hilarious, it's all over the goddamn place. I would expect any 5.56 platform to be more manageable with a bumpstock, but still not great. That detail, plus their claim of no optics is very strange to me. I don't have a good feeling for how dense the crowd was - maybe for most of the shooting he was just floating rounds in the direction of the concert?

I've done some shooting comps with professional shooters, and watched them put dinner plate groups at 500m with iron sights and it was very impressive. these folks practice a lot and are accomplished, other than the gun sales paddock doesn't sound like an expert marksman or someone with significant firearms experience.

also - love to see our favorite ZA outfit, executive outcomes, show up. only a matter of time, i guess!

From what I recall from the videos it was a proper killing field, the crowd was extremely dense and had essentially nowhere to take cover or escape. The lack of iron sights on some of the guns wouldn't hamper their effectiveness within that context imo, especially if he started out with them where just pointing the gun in the general direction of the crowd would be sufficient.

He didn't have to be a crack shot to get those results.

I think a lot of people gloss over or forget most of whatever they learn about WWI/II unless they develop a specific interest for them, so I understand not being able (or willing) to wrap your mind around the fact that one person doing that much damage alone isn't unusual.

But lol how do you think over a million dudes died in the somme in 140 days?

In my younger years I was a believer in the conspiracy (as most people are generally and the film JFK came out when I was younger) but I don't think it holds up to scrutiny. Certainly makes me feel like the odd one out when it comes to internet leftism.

I ask this out of curiosity and not in judgement, but what's your take on 9/11? I never bought the JFK poo poo until the huge multipart series on 9/11, which made the idea of a small number of people pulling a ton of strings to kill a single person (albeit a sitting president lol) seem a lot more plausible to me.

if you were turned off on the sirhan sirhan trueanon ep because of the hypnosis or "woo woo" you are operating under impressive levels of cognitive dissonance
