I counted 11 shots in the first salvo, and 23 in the second. First salvo was about 3 1/2 seconds long. Second was about 6 1/2 or 7 seconds long. There was a 7 second gap between salvos - enough time to pop out a mag, grab a second one and insert it and pull the charging handle to put the rifle in battery. I had to slow the video down to quarter speed just to be able to make a mark on paper with a pen for each shot and keep up with the speed of the shooting.

[@donnyboi1990]

7.5 second reload is actually absurdly slow. Shooting that fast actually made it so less people were hit. Also I believe it was 2 full mags emptied. The video started after the shooting had already started.

[@HandbrakeBiscuit]

@@donnyboi1990 Yes - reloading could be done a lot faster if he really had practised it. Perhaps some of the time was spent looking around and deciding on a new/different part of the crowd to target.
