The thing that makes her really sound stupider than she was is the
fact that he had already broken the same law that regulates
suppressors when he modified that gun he used to make it full auto.
It is also true that a "silencer" is far from making a rifle "silent".
It may work fairly well on subsonic bullets, particularly in .22 rf
like Harry's but that is not a center fire rifle.
Most of the people said they did not associate the sound with gunfire
anyway. They thought it was part of the pyrotechnics show.
It was the people being shot that made it apparent what was happening.
I wasn't aware that the details of the weapons used were released. I did
hear that one of the rifles was a .223 and another was a .308. Were
either a true full auto, a bump-fire full auto, a full-auto made that
way by modification? There were so many people pushed together in such a
small space that specific accuracy probably was not a factor.
I have not heard anything but speculation, mostly by people who don't
have a clue. One on the NBC "experts" was saying ther AR-15/M16 was a
derivative of the M1 and implied they shot the same ammo.
That is why I am not listening to any of that until we actually see
pictures of the guns used and get ballistics from the bullets.
In the end, it is really not that important anyway. The tragedy is not
changed much either way.
