None of us likely were stupid enough to stand around downrange while people were shooting to hear it unless we were one of James Yeager's students (or camera guy, I guess), so I don't think many people would recognize it either way. We could try to contact one of Yeager's surviving camera guys to confirm.
You only hear that snap when they're going over your head tho, that snap is the bullet passing over your head, it sounds different when the shooter sweeps the weapon away from you, rounds not going over your head, but going downrange in another direction, it sounds different, it's like a doppler effect, sounds more like "Kayaow!" as the rounds fly away from you into the distance.

Perhaps he had some inside black government help or something. The only thing that kind of supports that theory so far, besides the bizarre way his brother claimed he became a millionaire, (slots,) and the fact their father was on a FBI wanted list for robbing banks, (perhaps the FBI cut a deal for money with the father?) is the amount of rifles this boomer is supposed to have had. Something like 50 at his house and he brings twenty to the hotel? Boomers have weird hobbies which include collecting expensive junk but what's weird, is if this caller into the Michael savage show is to be believed, a marine claims that he would shoot the shit with John all the time at the local bar in Mesquite Nevada. Never once did the shooter, John bring up guns and he was even thought to have a positive comment about Trump. So that's kind of weird that a boomer, with seventy rifles, would never bring up guns at the bar with a former marine. One logical expelantion would be that he was a gun runner, so of course he would never talk about guns in public.

So I think what may have happened is that either he went sideways on the FBI or the FBI went sideways on him during a gun deal and then planted all six of these retarded bump stocks that were in his room, because the FBI needs no more motivation to do something than to simply persecute something.
OK, let me consider that for a few ticks, I'm gonna get a beer and switch to the patio, stand by.

What you are saying makes a lot of sense. Also, when the second sound disappeared, that's when the dude in the background got nailed in the back, so the visual data fits your hypothesis pretty well. He swept his fire across the field, the bullets were no longer traveling over her head, and then the guy in the distance drops.

Yeager still has to adhere to OSHA regulations.

So it's like a Fast n' Furious gone wrong kind of thing.... but why the bump stocks?

I mean, the ATF approved the bump stocks, they didn't even try to fight bump stocks, are you saying the FBI is in conflict with the ATF?

Like the ATF approves bump stocks, but the FBI is "ah hells no, we gotta back the NFA up here, fuck the ATF, we need a mandate to get rid of these things!" ?

Seems like a lot of effort, just to get rid of bump stocks.

Like, if I'm the FBI, I'm saying "who cares about bump stocks, they're junk, real gun nuts don't even bother with them, but have you seen these BFSIII binary triggers for the AR? Jesus fuckin' murphy, those things make automatic fire totally obselete"

If I'm going after something, to amend the NFA, I'm not going after auto, I already got that, I'm going after semi-auto, and ain't nothing would be better for going after semi-auto, then going after BFSIII binary triggers.

I mean, I'm not even that much of a gun nut anymore, but BFSIII binary trigger gives me a woody just thinking about it, it's the fuckin' cats ass when it comes to putting a wall of fire downrange, fuck auto, auto is useless, BFSIII is the new news muthahfuckahs, bet dat.

We could just throw them the bump stock ban and call it a day.

Of course, it means the next mass shooter will kill more people if he doesn't use something like a bump stock, but that's the price of enfranchising leftists. We have to pretend like their political opinions are legitimate as long as they have a vote.
