Bored this morning, so I decided to try my hand at math.

hmmm.... that would be 37 30 round magazines with no stoppages. With 720 seconds (12 minutes) and assuming maybe a 5 second change per magazine (185 seconds or 5 minutes) we would be looking at 7 minutes of fire time if the shooter were using 30 round magazines. Las vegas shooter reportedly was using 100 round mags which would require 11 mag changes instead of 37, so about 1 minute of actual mag changes at 5 second per change. That would leave him 10-11 minutes of actual fire time.

Slide Fire advertises a 900 rounds per minute cyclical rate in a spray and pray scenario. Realistically, I would think that 6-700 rounds might be a better number. Assuming multiple AR's with 100 round mags (assumption being I think the barrels would be red hot after 100 rounds of high speed shooting), if the shooter set up his position properly, he could switch rifles very quickly, letting the previously used ones cool down for a minute.

I think the shooter could have fired1100 rounds in the allotted time-frame, but with virtually no accuracy. It would truly be spray and pray, and assuming absolutely no ftf, jams or any other stoppage. Add to that I believe he would have had to practice to get that kind of speed. In short, I'm thinking "not likely, but possible given the right circumstances.
