There's naturally been a lot of wild speculation and outright insanity when it comes to commentary on the MGM shooting. I'm going to go ahead and address some of these points, which most of you won't bother to read because it's not actually about the truth, or the probable conclusion for you, it's about feeding your fueled ego, your delusions based from (((hollywood), cow a doody, general inexperience, and the necessity to """know""" something the average person doesn't.
>Stephan Paddock was some sort of elite assassin, war machine, killer, etc There is nothing special about the engagement that the average man couldn't accomplish himself with little, to no military or tactical training. Because Paddock acted on what was/is self-evident in maximising casualties, people have the proclivity to attribute this to some sort of technical knowledge or skills that only particular individuals possess.
To maximise casualties on an enemy target (specifically infantry/troops out in the open) with an *automatic belt-fed weapon system*, the MG utilizes either enfilade, or defilade variations of fire. Paddock utilized what is referred to as enfilade fire. The benefit of enfilading an enemy formation is that, by firing along the long axis, it becomes easier to hit targets within that formation. Enfilade fire takes advantage of the fact that it is usually easier to aim laterally (traversing the weapon) than to correctly estimate the range to avoid shooting too long or short. Additionally, both indirect and direct fire projectiles that might miss an intended target are more likely to hit another valuable target within the formation if firing along the long axis.
Rounds do not fire in a straight line but create a cylindrical pattern of travel called the "cone of fire". This cone of fire will impact in an elongated cylindrical shape along the long axis at impact creating what is called "the beaten zone". Imagine the average person's 3 round grouping from 20m with a semi fire weapon system like the ar-15. Most individuals won't have the rounds kissing, much less all three. When stretched per 100m, inches turn into feet off of target. Automatic fire from a non-beltfed weapon system is the most inaccurate, unpredictable, and ineffective fire that can be laid down on a target.
Landon Perez
>So what does this all mean? This means that choice to engage the crowd in a fully automatic manner with the weapon systems he was using is a testament to his inexperience and lack of technical knowledge. He didn't capitalize on the appropriate method of fire for his emplaced position from substantial higher ground. He did not place the beaten zone directly on top of his very large, very open target. He chose his engagement position for the large fields of fire it offered, its seclusion offering protection from interference (which he wasn't prepared for), and it's access to 2 sides of the building. This is not only the prefered method to people, but the naturally tendency for untrained individuals- to get as high and much of a visual of the target as possible. Some of the weapons he seemed to use were fitted with magnified optics which would be utterly useless in regards to how he was engaging. The fact that he was wearing gloves as "proof" that he was a "professional" is ridiculous. Google, "what should I bring to the gun range?", to see that gloves are standard PPE for shooting of any sort and will be recommended to use by virtually every source of suggestion. The police reported several jammed weapons which shows an amateurish understanding of the very weapons he was using. It takes no time to clear a malfunction on the AR-15 platform and clearing the malfunction would've been much quicker to begin engaging the target again. The maximum engagement distance of a man sized silhouette (depends on the shooter) with 5.56/2.23 is 500m, 600m for an area target like a truck or a tank. The proclamation that the distance from the MGM to the venue is too large to effectively engage is dead wrong and is the same, if not closer than the average engagement distance in AFG. His "high" number of inflicted casualties is solely due to the density of the target of +20,000 people and a relative failure in terms of potential lethality(thank Christ).
Xavier Baker
>2 shooters The entirty of the 32nd floor would've been cleared by SWAT. This means hardknocks and room entry through every single door on the 32nd and eventually the entierity of the building itself. The brass left behind from a second shooter would've been identified immediately and a BOLO would've immediately came accross the scanner for another shooter egressing from X location. The reports from individuals, casinos, and hotels that they were in an active shooter situation is expected and common. The only constant that always remains in gunfights wether from Afghanistan or an active shooter situation is confusion. One of the largest contributors to false positives for active shooters in negihboring locations durring or after one is usually due to walking and transported wounded. It's easy to look back now and say it was "from the 32nd floor of the MGM", but the people on the ground, especially the civilians, while this was occuring had no idea how many shooters there were and where it was coming from. When someone walks into the lobby of their hotel/casino and it's full of shot and wounded people screaming of an active shooter, it'd be odd if the belief that there was a roaming gunman in their location wasn't spread and shared by whoever is in that location. There is not a field of fire from the 4th story of the MGM into the venue AT ALL. The venue was roughly 400m away with a 10 foot fence around the perimeter, the only way to engage it was to get high as Paddock did. There is no logical reason there was a second shooter utilized from a different location, especially if it was a "false-flag". The amount of casualties resulting from 1 shooter is already significantlly lower than expected, much less 2 shooters using rifles (see what Cho accomplished with 2 9mm for comparrison).

Anthony Stewart
exactly thisAurora, Newtown, Combine, etc all have shooters with multiple weapons, usually weapons that are never used. They have delusions about firearms and the practicality of using them. When the shooting actually begins to transpire they forget about the other weapons because of the tunnel vision inherent in armed conflict and the fact that they are unnecessary. Paddock had more funds available leading to a larger arsenal that he, just like the others, didn't utilize. He also didn't utilize what he selected properly.
Jaxon Brooks

The ignorance or the intelligence agency shilling has gotten really good.
Wouldn't a SEAL Team commander know much more about this than your CIA or FBI talking points? Ill listen to him and look at original untouched footage that had "talking fire" shootouts while also involving an MG240 and other rifles the "alleged" shooter was using.
Also, your eloquent pseudo intellectualism isn't fooling everyone even if it sounds good because even the shills against 911 being an inside job and Building 7 being controlled demolition are good at making talking points and writing scientific papers as well, thinking they're BTFOing those who question the government narrative. You can fool some people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. This is the same playbook CIA used at Daley Plaza in 1963 to convince those at the scene that they didn't hear multiple shots going off at the same time. Now we know how the ABCs twist the truth with 90% truth and 10% bullshit.
If you're peddling the official MSM storyline , you are either a fool or a government shill. No one , not even the normies who watch CNN accept the official narrative and use common sense and logic that one man , no matter his skill or lack of skill, is going to haul 40 guns to carry out a 10 minute shooting - while never using 38 of them and even if he planned on using them, wouldn't have them thrown around the room in photos that are "orgy of evidence" a term that demonstrates that a crime scene is too perfectly set up.
Las Vegas Sheriff had to hold his tongue because he knew Paddock or whoever was using his name had to have accomplices. He wasn't stupid and was extremely nervous because the FBI was giving him talking points in his ear because the FBI took over the jurisdiction of the city once they swooped in which usually happens when the feds declare something to be a "terror " event.

Camden Garcia
Unless these scene has been tamptered with, the coprse's position relative to the suicide gun and the other guns would make it impossible for him to have ended up like that. There's on ontop of him, he is lying on a gun, the pistol is three feet away from him, that bullet lying in the puddle of his blood is totally clean.

Justin Richardson
Most of the deaths/injuries were trampling related. He was way too far away to be within his caliber's effective range, which contributed to the 10% kill/wound rate. Even then, most of the people were shot in non vital areas, fell down, then got trampled to death.
Watch the videos, there was barely any gunfire surprisingly. Watch the medic interviews, they treated more broken bones than gunshot wounds.
Paddock wanted to make a point. He was a radical leftist cuck. Why do you think he targeted a country concert full of white people rather than a rap concert? Don't let them fool you and paint him as a conservative.
Bentley Sanders
Why are you talking about enfilade when this is a packed crowd with no long axis? His primary target was a 15 acre lot 400 yards from his position, secondary target was anywhere else on the strip where the bullets happened to land. EMTs at the Tropicana said they were receiving gunfire. The Tropicana is like a block up the strip from the concert venue. His position was a good one for creating confusion and enabling an escape attempt.
>Malfunctions You make it sound as if every malfunction can be resolved in seconds. Sure misfeeds and stovepipes can be cleared, but bad ammo can cause serious problems, springs can fail. Full auto mag dumping wreaks havoc on guns. In this situation, wouldn't it just be easier to drop the jammed weapon and pick up another nearby?
My biggest question is why didn't he keep unloading into the hallway once he saw the guard. He had plenty of ammunition to remain a threat for a while. There was the main entrance to the suite, and the side entrance to the adjoining room. I'm not sure if there was another adjoining room on the other side, but he wasn't really in danger of being flanked.
Ian Green
Hahahaha.
No. But we did shoot an oxygen bottle one time we thought was empty and it still had some left inside it. It spiraled into the air and as it lost pressure it turned towards the roof of our barn and nicked a corner off and then bounced off the ground and dented my truck. Easily could have killed us if it hit one of us.
Good times.
Jonathan Sanders
There are many guides on how to make ANFO.
Mcveigh was incredibly meticulous in his planning and it's definitely not easy to make a truck bomb but neither was the planning for this attack. McVeigh wanted to get away with it which is why his planning was so thought-out. This guy probably didn't.
Making a suicide truck bomber surely can't be that difficult if you just go out of your way to research and plan it.

>Why are you talking about enfilade when this is a packed crowd with no long axis? It's long enough for the principal to be applied. It was long enough before the shooting but without a doubt would have created a huge linear target once they started trying to flee. >The Tropicana is like a block up the strip from the concert venue. The tropicana had reports of an active shooter by the scared woman cop on the scanner, was it actually confirmed he was engaging them? > Full auto mag dumping wreaks havoc on guns. In this situation, wouldn't it just be easier to drop the jammed weapon and pick up another nearby? No, the only real failure that would have been a real issue is the failure of those extended mags themselves. He should've just dropped the bad mag and slap in a new one. He could've used 1 other rifle to alternate with do combat overheating. >My biggest question is why didn't he keep unloading into the hallway once he saw the guard Who really knows, but keep in mind a lot of these guys off themselves whenever they are cornered/confronted. Think about the nigger that shot the old nigger on livestream recently. Why didn't put up a fight? Go back and look at high profile shootings/bank robberies that end in suicide and when they decide to do it. There's a staggering number of them.
Noah Campbell

Aye you've got some good points but gun jams aren't always easy. I wonder how many of those guns sat in storage, weren't properly lubricated, or the bolts were left open.
>Tropicana thing There were EMTs on the Broadcastify scanner that reported taking fire at the Tropicana. My guess is stray bullets from the bump fire or ricochets.
He probably killed himself (thankfully he did that at least) to still have 'control' of the situation in his mind.

>I wonder how many of those guns sat in storage, weren't properly lubricated, or the bolts were left open. Exactly, this would answer a lot of questions.

of course there’s a possibility that he was black pilled in some secluded himalayan militant buddhists monastery and sent back as a plague for the decadent west. it‘s just not plausible. it‘s more likely a midlife crisis gone wrong, likely coupled with mental disorder. even a parasitic infection like toxoplasmose that radically altered his behaivior seems more likely than that psy ops shit.

one can assume it was an extended suicide. people with severe depression tend to get suicidal. maybe he sought help first and got a perscription for selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (ssri). they don‘t change the mood for the better for like 2 weeks. but they almost immediatly boost motivation, thus leading to increased suicide rates within these patiens in a 2-3 week timespan. so maybe ist was extended suicide. because he simply was a depressed dick, yet highly motivated.
