Comment on Why don't we hear more about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting? It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we never found a motive, and it seems no one ever mentions it.

I mean, he didn’t really have much of a problem with accuracy - he fired a total of 1058 rounds, and those rounds or shrapnel from them injured 413 different people. Of course, many people received more than a single gunshot wound. He killed 58 (later 60) in ten minutes of shooting – effectively one person every 10 seconds. I think it would be difficult for a single person to injure or kill more from where he was standing with any weapon short of an RPG.

kill more from where he was standing with any weapon short of an RPG.

I think short of somehow knocking down a build that would make it more difficult because of the very slow reload speed.

kill more from where he was standing with any weapon short of an RPG.

And a semi-auto rifle can fire much faster than that without a bumpstock
