As late as just 1 minute ago, press here in the US were still saying AR-15. There was a long debate about AR-15 and other semi-automatic weapons on the NPR show "On Point" this morning as I drove to work (they called it a variant of the M-16, but actually the AR-15 came first.). The pictures that they showed on TV of the weapon they seized at the club looked like an AR-15, but I'm not enough of a gun enthusiast to notice any but the most obvious of differences without stills.
You can "bump-fire" an AR-15 from the hip pretty fast. It might sound like automatic fire. There are legal adaptations to the AR-15 that permit "bump-firing" from the shoulder as well. I believe I heard this adaptation allows a bump-fire rate of 100 rounds in 7 seconds.
Breaking news: A grand jury is convening tomorrow to consider charging Mateen's second wife as an accessory, or, at minimum, misprision of a felony (failing to report a future known felony).

James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."
Gary Cornwell (Dept. Chief Counsel HSCA): "A fact merely marks the point at which we have agreed to let investigation cease."
