My favorite M4 was a 10.5 inch SBR, and it would empty a 30 round magazine in about 2.6 seconds, and a 60 round magazine in about 5. Again if one is not WELL trained in most cases after the third round one is shooting at tree tops and buzzards.
The scenario used in Las Vegas was optimal for the weapon system he had.
On another note, I have heard that the assailant was a pilot and owned two aircraft of which one is a business jet/turboprop. If he wanted to maximize the carnage, he could have fueled the aircraft, taken off and declared an emergency. They would have given him the choice of runways. and on final he could have turned into the crowd which would have killed/injured significantly more.
