First look inside Stephen Paddock’s hotel room shows guns, shells and a hammer
NY Daily News ^ | October 3, 2017 | BY TERENCE CULLEN

The Las Vegas hotel room of gunman Stephen Paddock, who killed 59 people and wounded more than 500 at a country music concert, was littered with assault rifles and bullet shells, photos of the room show.

A Boston 25 News reporter tweeted a photo of Paddock’s room that shows a hammer along with dozens of casings on the floor and a bullet magazine. Among the casings is an assault rifle fixed with a scope and bipod.

A second photo showed another long assault rifle with a long magazine and handle at the front of the stock.

Police believe Paddock used a hammer to bust a window in his Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino hotel room.

We don’t need to know the whole story; we need for more people to recognize that what they see in the “news” is always deceptive gibberish.

It’s hopeless to try to correct the record...Not many people understand.

A freeper says they make two cracking sounds. One when it fires and one when the round breaks the sound barrier. Personally I’ve never heard a gun make two sounds but I’m not the expert others on here seem to be. Although I did fire expert with an M16 at 200 yards. Never heard more than one pop per round.

They claimed the Scalise shooting had no motive!

Probably 50 .308.

That sounds like the burst at the beginning.

I guessing that’s a $3000 rig there.

Have you watched any of the video showing muzzle flash on a lower floor? There are several that are very convincing. Please if you have one, offer an explanation as I am questioning how they could really be lying to us that blatantly. Please, help me understand how my eyes and those of others are lying to us. I am asking sincerely.

Pretty sure the Clark county sheriff said the found .308 to .223 ammo in the room. No clue when actual details will come out. If ever.

I’ve been speculating since yesterday that this guy seems to have all the characteristics of an international money launderer, drug trafficker, or arms dealer. The high-stakes gambling is one clue, but what really caught my eye was the series of comments from his neighbors saying he would disappear for weeks and months at a time.

I was wondering about such possibilities too, given the curiously small amount of info on the guy. The foreign-national girlfriend sort of fits there as well.

Is a slide fire bump stock even illegal? Not that it matters. Thought they were legal here in Texas, for a while anyway.

I would have expected a hell of lot more empty casings...maybe just doesn't show in this pic.

If you're the one doing the shooting you generally only hear the first one. If you're the one being shot at, you hear the second one first and the first one last. Especially at long range. It's more of a snap than a crack... Just my experience.

>> “What is pissing me off is the delay, the FBI has been in his houses, they have gone thru the room. They should have a pretty clear picture of the guy by now.

They know the motive but will not release it.” <<

Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas shooter, was an Antifa member who was also linked with ISIS, according to an FBI agent involved in storming the 64-year-old domestic terrorist’s hotel room.

I have no explanation for the 4th floor vids. How can they lie to us. They have NO problem lying to us.

We can also do without people yapping on about clips.

Why fire from two different locations so far from each other? 21,000 targets did not require advantage view points. One location - more damage since he wouldn’t have to move and could fire more.

Bed is made... no holes in the spread from hot casings or barrels. Nice placement of the hammer too.
