OK my mistake
Accuracy doesn't matter as much when you are shooting at a baseball field verses an 8 inch target. His casualty count was enhanced by the rate of fire. The military does the same thing when it comes to ambushes or a covered retreat. Put the maximum number of rounds on the target area, if there is something there you are likely to hit it. The difference in this situation was there were 22,000 people in the target area a blind man could have hit someone. He hit people by luck of the draw not deliberate action. Shotgun vs a flock of birds same theory.Just wondering: Were less people actually hit as a result of the use of bump fire stocks that made shooting more inaccurate by causing more rounds to fly way over the intended target?
If he missed more as a result of the bump fire stocks, but landed more hits just because of his rate of fire, doesn't that pretty much negate the bump fire stock as a real issue since any benefit gained by rate of fire is lost by a drop in accuracy?

It doesn't help that he's got FBI standing over his shoulder stopping him mid statement.He looks like an honest man that's forced to be dishonest.
