    Precisely why most people that want to be silent use subsonic ammunition.

    Exactly why my next AR build will be a .300 Blackout, suppressed, short barrelled rifle. Very expensive, but even though it's going to require two NFA tax stamps, it will never be used in a crime. The LEGAL gun owners are not the problem!

    I didn't read any tweets today but I heard she was talking about gun laws.I don't care if they're rep or dem today is not the day to talk politics.CNN didn't talk politics at all today.It was all about the heros and remembering the victims.

    Some of the reports I heard said that some of the injuries reported weren't gun shot injuries, but people panicked and ended up getting trampled in the stampede.

    As for the ISIS claim. A former DHS director was interviewed and stated that they claimed responsibility, but have been known to take responsibility for others actions that they really didn't have any part of, so until they find anything linking him to ISIS, they aren't confirming a link. A 64 year old retiree isn't exactly the ideal recruiting target for groups like that.

    I'll bet a large number of the injured are from the stampede that ensued.

    Now a report says the shooters father had mental health issues. Also, the shooter was a multi-millionaire. I'll try to find this again and post it.

    I understood the range from the 32nd floor to the center of the arena concert is about 1700 feet. Or roughly 600 yards. Subsonic wont make it that far even with the huge drop offered by the floor. Maybe it would but it will have still made noise as it hit flesh TWACH!!!! Bone CRACK and pavement etc among other things.

    Subsonic would not be my choice. This would be mine... a bit heavy but standard greentip and predictable kick at a moderate velocity.

    7.62x51mm NATO Load Data - Nosler

    If you had a suppressor big enough can on a few of those weapons it would have sounded like a hail storm for a little longer than it took the crowd to understand from the blatant sound of machine gun fire.... If you view the videos you will notice the center of the crowd expanded into a sort of a oval cleared space showing the beaten zone as the rounds went into the area just before the people stampeded.

    As the targets evaporated the shooter will have had to stop the auto less to zero rewards and switch to scoped semi auto work with a constant eye on his door worrying about what surely must be coming as certain as judgement.

    Latest briefing from the Sherriff indicated 18 more weapons recovered, bombs too along with thousands of rounds. This was one rich dude who stopped at nothing. And we still don't know his motive.

    It wouldn't amaze me one bit if they end up finding a tumor in his head. Assuming they do any autopsy. Charles Whitman requested an autopsy in his death letter, he claimed he had something wrong with him. Sure enough they find a walnut sized tumor in his head
