AnonymousTi,
Its also Vegas, remember? Party town? Now, it would be great to think that every person carrying a gun is sober when they do it, but there are an awful lot of bars, access to drugs... Imagine... guy staggers out of a bar or away from where hes just taken a hit of something crazy, gun on his hip... Now he hears automatic fire, and thinking he is John McLane, dumps a magazine at the building, assuming he is going to hit the target, at which point they ought to explode gratuitously...
Weirder things have happened in Vegas than that.
People watch to many movies and think they know about fire arms. He had something like 32 weapons in his room he wasn't even reloading he was grabbing the next rifle.

hm..on second hearing...I'm not sure about that.
The echo is simply not consistent, if it is echo...every shot should be echoed, no ?
edit:
perhaps the gunman changed weapons during the firing. Perhaps that could explain the differences in shot sounds ?
Firing from windows on two different sides of the building, would have echoed differently.

it's not about the difference in sound so much as in the sound pattern. If you shoot bam bam bam...then the echo has to be bam bam bam...if there is one.
When you look at the video...it appears that some shots do not have the supposed echo.
Exactly what I'm trying to say if you pay close attention to the video you will notice this.

But not in the same burst, i heard two distinct guns in the same burst and with those guns one handed is crazy hard to fire off rounds like that guy was firing. The 4th floor window whatever floor it was is not broken. I have not found a way to shoot through glass and keep it solid. That would mean the reflection was from something in the room. My bet it was an accomplice trying to distract the viewers from the 32nd floor shooter.

The following instagram video was taken a couple hours before the shooting.
You can clearly see the light strobing on the lower floor at this time with no gunshots. So I think lower floor shooter can be ruled out.
Video
Why aren't the police, fbi, Homeland security, or any other investigators asking publicly for footage from phone users or otherwise to get footage ?
