It just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
next
Initial reports had 19 weapons, on the 3rd or 4th I was waiting in an office and they had the news on where they scrolled by 45. (I’ve also heard 23 and 42.)
Odd how the number kept changing.
next
The fact that he had so many guns, even the smallest number (19) would have been rather challenging to bring in without arousing suspicion.
next
(And here the hotel worker said he didn’t have many bags.)
next
Also, there’s the fact that 19 guns is excessive for a one-man operation.
(The official story is, and [TTBOMK] has always been, that this was a “lone wolf” incident.)
next
The fact that the shooting sounds so very regular, like full auto rate of fire.
(ie Not what I would expect a bump-stock or similar gimmick to sound like.)
next
The fact that people heard two shooters.
Granted, acoustics can do some funny things, but there’s this guy
and eyewitnesses.
You are right about the acoustics. They do all sort of strange things. The shooter also had different calibers, different guns, and different positions to shoot from.
>> Initial reports had 19 weapons, on the 3rd or 4th I was waiting in an office and they had the news on where they scrolled by 45. (I’ve also heard 23 and 42.)Perhaps.
>> Odd how the number kept changing.
> I do not find it odd at all. The 40+ number is the total found in his residences and at the Hotel.
>> The fact that he had so many guns, even the smallest number (19) would have been rather challenging to bring in without arousing suspicion.While it's true that that's the case for gun-shows, I have no idea if there were any gunshows in Las Vegas at/near the time.
> A trivial number to bring to a Hotel room in baggage, without suspicion. Consider the Shot Show in Las Vegas. Some exhibitors bring in hundreds of guns.
Having worked as a bellman/valet you always remember the people with lots and unusual baggage.
>> Also, there’s the fact that 19 guns is excessive for a one-man operation.If he's highly compulsive and intelligent, then the mixing of calibers would be strange (ie complicating when you have to reload), thus weakening your following objection.
>> (The official story is, and [TTBOMK] has always been, that this was a “lone wolf” incident.)
> Why? The guy had a lot of guns. He had a lot of time. He was rather obsessive/compulsive.
>> The fact that the shooting sounds so very regular, like full auto rate of fire.I have not used bump-stocks; though I do have experience with full-auto. (Prior military.)
>> (ie Not what I would expect a bump-stock or similar gimmick to sound like.)
> Have you much experience with bump stocks? I suggest you look at some bump stock videos on Youtube. The sounds do not seem anomalous to me.
>> The fact that people heard two shooters.Certainly changing calibers would change the acoustic properties, but the other shots are intermingled with Mandalay Bay's shooter's shots. So either he was dual-wielding Rambo-style, or there was a second shooter.
