When your target contains 20k people who are basically stationary or inside a venue, just spraying the crowd is highly effective.

I can easily fire 6 controlled shots in 1.5 seconds with one of my standard triggered semi auto AR-15's or AK-74's
yea right.

Latest report is 19 rifles in the room.
A man only has two hands
I have to agree. I don't think the number of rifles in the room is that important of a detail. I'm just reporting.

theres a caveat to fully auto kits. they can ONLY be legally sold to POLICE and military. the kits fall under the automatic weapons ban too.

I think,...with so many guns in his room....this guy was planning on attending the big Vegas gun show this week.
Something set him off...and he saw opportunity and took it by grabbing a couple and using them.

Add to the crowd size, Fox News said a lot of them had high blood alcohol levels, which made them slower to react and hurt each other in the Mad Dash to get away from danger.
As news of the mass shooting in Las Vegas broke on Monday morning, the 4Chan message boards lit up ... with congratulations to a white shooter for breaking Omar Mateen's "high score."
"Beaten by one kill, looks like the white man is king of mass shootings again," one anonymous 4Chan commenter posted.
The gunman, identified by the police as Stephen Craig Paddock, 64, was described as a retiree who loved to gamble and who lived with his girlfriend, Marilou Danley, 62. Relatives said Mr. Paddock had not displayed strong political or ideological beliefs in their interactions with him.
Lockheed Martin, the aerospace contracting company created by a 1994 merger, confirmed that he worked for one of its predecessor companies from 1985 to 1988. Lockheed Martin did not identify which company Mr. Paddock worked for specifically. The company said it was cooperating with law enforcement.

Why would you need 19 rifles for this?
Why not just one rifle and a whole extra batch of ammunition for said rifle?
That says 1 of 2 things...
More than one shooter?
Or he is a grade a moron carrying about all this equipment for no good reason.
Anyways, speculation aside...
This is absolutely f*cking terrible news to wake up to.
Best wishes to those recovering.
RIP to the fallen.
19 guns is equally as practical to 1 man as it is to 2. Either way it's way more guns than you need to do this. Doesn't really add any weight to the case for a 2nd shooter.

Just as easily as you brush aside the possibility of more than one shooter, More than one shooter is absolutely possible.
Sounds like more than one gun: probably echoes; possibly two gunmen.
Two positions: Went from place to place to let guns cool down: There were 2 gunmen who fired in sequence.
Massive gun cache: It was this 64 year old guy...: It might have been more than one guy.

Somebody should alert the clowns on MSNBC claiming anyone can order these kits on the internet.
