In a scene of horror, the attacker calmly sprayed some 120 bullets from his AK-47 before disappearing into the night.
He is believed to have used devastating armour-piercing bullets inside the club to cause maximum casualties.
A witness told Turkish newspaper Hurriyet that the gunman had used flash grenades to disorientate victims before picking them off with several magazines of ammunition.
A barman told the newspaper: "The terrorist threw something that lit up every time he finished his magazine. It happened at least three times."
