...Given his height its not much of a matter of how far the bullet needs to travel when it can also fall 32 floors. So all he has to do is shoot straight over the concert parallel to the ground and he will likely hit people as the bullet falls. If he wants to make sure he hits people, he just has to start by aiming at the furthest person and walk it up from there. He is sure to hit someone without worrying too much about the calculation of vectors and gravity...

Have you ever seen a drop table for any caliber of modern ammunition? Have you ever taken a course in physics? Have you ever hunted, or even fired a rifle of any caliber at a target?

Your post is pure BS.

Have you ever had a target two blocks wide. And 300 yards away. Using a fully automatic weapon you have to deliver a thousand rounds and reload several times in ten minutes while the room fills with smoke. He is not aiming too hard. He needs to shoot and see what he hits and adjust. From the beginning of the first shot it was ten minutes before he put the last bullet in his own head. So to hit over 500 people he did not aim carefully. He didn’t have to.

And yes drop tables explain why the Kent State killings occurred. The guard shot over the head of the demonstrators and hit students several hundred yards away in the head and neck. The guard had no idea bullets fall.

From the shooters vantage point in Vegas, their were stands opposite him. Behind that were parking lots where people were milling around listening but not paying for the concert. For about two blocks he had a crowd as a target. and he could walk it down all the way to the strip 200 feet in front of him. I bet they have a victim map later in the week and many of the dead/wounded will be out side the arena.
