The weapon in the article was the one I searched for. If it was a M-16 A2 then that would have meant that he got his hands on an ex-military weapon. Even if a person says "an M-16 clone" the XM-15 is basically in appearances a M-16 clone.
As for the bolt thing, I didn't know that.

That sounds like he got a real weapon for sure. That would mean it had "rock and roll" and safe as the two choices our DI told us. We are told to keep it on safe in the fort but put it on Rock and Roll in the battlefield and "disco their ass to death".
Even a .22 caliber sized round like that can kill a bunch of folks on auto. The prediction that they would have attacks and include a Church is sadly easy to predict since there is this one playbook the leftist read from to "bring this place down" as they think they want.

More Fog of War.
Elon Musk has said 'Not So Fast' about the Twitter purchase. He has a few questions such as how many accounts are real.
He probably would go through with the deal if there was only 5% that were spam or fake but most people believe that the real # is much higher. Cranky must be getting through.
Of course the enemedia is going crazy saying that is because of the decline in the stock market and his losses. I wonder if the board was reluctant to sell to Musk because then the reality of the company would become public, that not only does it censor but also is set up like a pyramid scheme with only a few accounts that feed into other accounts to amplify the approved narrative.

The Official Macfee live stream feedback:
Working with only 12 grams of lunar soil -- as well as some volcanic ash from Earth to act as a control -- the researchers planted arabidopsis seeds in thimble-sized wells full of the soil samples.
"We were amazed. We did not predict that," said Anna-Lisa Paul, one of the study's authors and a research professor of horticultural sciences at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. "That told us that the lunar soils didn't interrupt the hormones and signals involved in plant germination."

I suppose my memory might be wrong, but I was in the Army from late 1983 to late 1986. At the time in boot camp we were using the Army version of the Colt AR-15 - the M16A1. I'm fairly sure that there were 3 settings on the weapon, safe, fire (semi-automatic) and fully automatic. When set on "fire" you could shoot as fast as you could pull the trigger (semi-automatic), and when set on automatic, you only had to hold the trigger and you could shoot the whole clip in a matter of seconds. IIRC when I was getting out in 1986, the Army was switching to the M16A2 - which among other improvements replaced the fully automatic setting of the M16A1 with a 3 round burst setting to keep from wasting too much ammo like you did with the full automatic setting on the M16A1's. I was in a completely non-combat MOS, so I only got to shoot when it was time to re-qualify, but this is what I remember regarding the M16 variants.
EDITED TO ADD:
Sorry - the point I forgot to make is, if the shooter was using a "modified" M16A2, I guess the modification could be that he made it fully automatic? Although I was under the impression that you can't make the M16A2 fully automatic, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
