“Paddock, an out of shape former accountant with no military training is not capable of pulling this off by himself. With no experience in guns, how could he have fired as rapidly and accurately as he did. As a military veteran and have experience with fully automatic weapons, they can be hard to control, jam easily and tend to overheat. Using an automatic weapon effectively takes extensive training and experience in the use of such weapons. Being a retired accountant senior citizen, I do not understand how Paddock had the skill or the stamina to fire for so long.The overheating is also a reason why suppressors (silences in Hillarys vernacular) are never used on such weapons. They have a tendency to melt and more quickly jam the gun.”
This is simply false. Paddock was firing a semi automatic weapon from an elevated position into a massive crowd (22,000) jammed into a small enclosed area. He didn’t need to aim anywhere other than the general direction of the crowd to get a massive body count. Especially firing .223 rounds from above the crowd, he was going to get fatal head shots and plenty of them, possibly even multiple fatal headshots with a single round. Also, being a “military veteran” he should know better. Paddock brought mulitple weapons into his room, firing 100 rounds from an AR-15 and then moving on to the next weapon, is not going to cause an AR to “overheat”, it may cause it to jam but then Paddock could simply move on to the next weapons system. Paddock could have easily pulled off the actual act of the shooting himself.
Interesting sound analysis of the shots... you can pick out the shots from the Bump Stock, as well as a full auto, worth a look
