I dunno what the guy was using. it was some kind of SAW, sounded like an M-60 to me, but I can't be sure, as the sounds I'm listening to are not the highest quality. Witnesses are reporting that there was a lengthy reload just before the last few bursts into the beaten zone. My best guess at this point is that he wasn't just reloading, he was having to change the barrel as well, and that's what took him so long.
I'm not too familiar with the newer generation SAWS, and don't know if they have barrel change out capability like an M-60, but they probably do. Barrels get hot with sustained fire like that, and they'd have to be changed.
Scary stuff... and from that height too.
He certainly thought it through.
