It's only ~800 if it's full auto and his was only semi-auto. At best, he was shooting at a rate of fire of 40 rounds per minute.
But even being full auto would be largely pointless as you run out a full 30 round magazine in a litle over 2 seconds (800 rounds per minute / 60 seconds = 13.33 rounds per second. 30 rounds / 13.33 per second = 2.25 seconds for empty magazine).
He did have a 100 round magazine (which jammed as KillerzX notes that large drums often do) which at full auto would still run dry in just 7.5 seconds.
If it were full auto, very few would have died because he'd eat through ammo too fast. And you can't carry too much ammo on you because that gets heavy very fast (200 rounds would be about 40 pounds) and he as already holding an AR-15, a sidearm and in full protective gear. He easily had an extra 100 pounds of weight on him.
