re: #509 Shropshire Slasher

Would it have stopped the Vegas shooter?

Also, I can only fire one gun at a time, so the point of buying multiple guns is moot.

From someone in a position to know:

Firing a 100 round magazine non-stop through an AR-15 will cause the gas tube to glow cherry red and start to melt. Continuous 30 round bursts will make the gun so hot it will malfunction in short order. It takes much longer for the gun to cool than it does to fire the magazine. That is the likely reason the Vegas shooter had a dozen rifles. He was alternating them while they cooled.
