Like surely wouldn't everyone just pounce on him or sneak up behind him and smash a bottle over his head or something?
Something seems off to me. This doesn't seem like something a lone gunman could pull off, at least without low key help.
I imagine he used a automatic rifle like AR-15 or AK-47. At close range, assault rifle bullets will over penetrate through several bodies before the bullet come to full stop even if it hits bone. So in a close packed night club, one could achieve very large amount of casaulty to rounds fired ratio as many bullet will strike multiple victims.
Also, assault rifle munitions are designed to tumble one it enter flesh instead of going straight through in order to carve very gruesome internal wound paths, so even flesh wounds can create very large amount of tissue damage, leading to very severe bleeding.
Given it took the cops 3 hours to get into the nightclub, I image many people who suffered otherwise non fatal wounds would have bled out before help arrived.
