Back to AtD. which contains everything, pp 965-969

[Mark Kohut]

News you may know: 
A gunman set his house on fire near Webster, NY, and shot the firefighters who responded with his
automatic,semi-automatic?,- the notorious Bushmaster AK--15. You may have read he left a note which said 
he was getting ready to do "what I do best, kill people."
 
In this section of AtD, when the war is building, is in the air, ground and music, on p.965 we read: 
"Among the Mauser on Mauser, something new on earth. Machine guns, the future of warfare."
 
Then we read shortly later, p.969, They had entered "a theatre of war" and "Reef entered the domain of five hundred rounds per minute"...."and whoever they'd been, they didn't seem to be there anymore". 
 
Yashmeen murmured as if to Ljubica:
"What he does best, of course."
