I've seen more than enough footage to reach the only possible conclusion after said observation.
It is elementary that that is a fully automatic M-240 firing in the distance, delivering a hundred rounds at a time in an uninterrupted and sustained fashion. That would make an AK barrel and mechanism start to melt and malfunction. The rate of fire perfectly matches that of an M-240, and veterans are saying that is what we heard. It is easy to hear the difference between a bump fired AK and a machine gun. In photos of Paddock and his room all we saw was 60-round mags.
Also they said Paddock was using a bipod. Try bump firing in this sustained fashion with a bipod.
