I thought they just used a flash supressor.

Those things don't even work that well...You take a huge ball of flame from
a rifle at night and turn it into a moderately sized ball of flame.....
they work by redirecting the muzzle blast sideways so that instead of a giant
ball of flame pointing back at the shooter, you have a ball of flame around you...
it's hell on ears though...

So no silencer?

Now, silencers actually work...they're the best flash suppressant deviceVympel wrote:So no silencer?
too, because all of the explosive gasses are spent by the time
they exit the silencer, so no huge flashes...

Wonder what gun they were using. .223 of course but apart from that ...

Heard it's a Bushmaster .223 rifle, which means it's an AR-15 clone...Vympel wrote:Wonder what gun they were using. .223 of course but apart from that ...
in fact, my AR-15 was a Bushmaster rifle.....
HEY, don't look at me that way...

Pic of Bushmaster
Something that did make me laugh were the markings on the magazine:
This stupidity as a result of the 1994 Federal ban on "assault weapons" in the US. Machinegun manufacture was banned in 1986 (for sale to civilians), but because the bans are two different laws, the fully-automatic guns don't have to have any special markings, whereas the semi-auto guns and all new magazines have to have the markings in the picture. Doesn't make sense but gun laws rarely do.

Did this guy's training in the Army include sniper training?
By the way, the New York Times reported that he was a recent convert to Islam.

No, he wasn't a sniper. But from the ranges he was firing at, I suppose anyone with military training could have done it.Durandal wrote:Did this guy's training in the Army include sniper training?

A five year old child could have done it with 15 minutes of training...Darth Wong wrote: No, he wasn't a sniper. But from the ranges he was firing at, I suppose anyone with military training could have done it.

Under 100 yards.....a child could do that...I've scored bullseyesDurandal wrote:What ranges was he firing at?
at 100 yds with no prior training on an AR-15 and without a scope...

There is something to be said for public executions (hood, last words, noose around neck, floor beneath vanishing, etc.). Gives those on death row lots to think about before ascending that stairway to death amid jeering crowds of non-wellwishers...Kelly Antilles wrote:I'd like to see the return of public lynchings and beheadings.

Nothing like proving your own moral superiority by masochistically deriving enjoyment from watching someone swing on a noose and throwing things at him. We've sure reached the apex of civilization...

If your going to do it for the public enjoyment, might as well get a good show out of it. Don't ya think?
