This is not grounded in anything other than my own cynicism ..
I watched the footage of the shooting and the interviews after, and the video of the counter sharpshooter on the roof who managed to shoot the gunman.
I am also aware that Trump had been relatively on the quiet side post debate.
Watching the interviews and reading some articles there are a few things..

1. Trump was rattled but not enough to keep his head protected. SS tried to keep him down, but he nearly knocked the female SS agent in the front when he was determined to stand up and get his arm pump in the air.
2. I thought an AR-15 had a louder sound.
3. How did Crooks get on the roof of an adjacent building?
4. I thought an AR-15 fired many more rounds than that in a short time frame.

4. One shot per pull of the trigger. Most ARs in public circulation are semi automatic, not fully automatic.
@BrentSullivan I have only ever fired a 9mm at target shooting. That one outing was enough to know I could not kill someone. I have no knowledge of any kind of gun or it's capability. Thanks for the input.
