SAW Rifle

[Aragorn243]

Speculation this morning was that the rifle used by the Los Vegas shooter was a SAW. I assume they came to this conclusion based on the sound and the rate of fire. No official word on any weapons used that I'm aware of. It is my assuption that there is no way a SAW could have made it into private hands in the US unless a theft of a military installation or one was recovered from a battlefield somewhere and smuggled in. Am I correct that none of these were released to private hands? I have seen them but do not recall ever firing one in my time in the service.
