I do believe they are legal now though, as a couple friends have them.
Even with 6 round magazines, it takes about 5 seconds to reload. It wouldn't make much of a difference. The AR-15 isn't automatic anyways, so its not like the guy can empty out a complete magazine in 5 seconds, pop in a fresh one, and keep firing.
The AR-15 fires the .223 round, which isn't much different from the .40 calibre round than his Glocks fired. The .40 round is hollow point, so it would do much more damage if it actually hit someone. The .223 would just go through people. Might explain all the people shot, but only 12 deaths considering how many bullets he obviously fired. Killshots are actually harder to make contrary to popular opinion.

The .223 is quite a small round, but high velocity. The .40 is a round nearly twice the diameter, but not near the velocity. The two are nothing alike
