Perhaps he planned to escape from the hotel room to commit further mayhem, but not necessarily to escape the consequences of his actions. Maybe setting off the car bomb or something. Suicide may have always been the plan, just not inside the room at Mandalay Bay.

The tanks are quite a bit farther from the Mandalay than the concert venue, and in a different direction. Shooting at night, with no tracers, he might have been unable to get the proper range for them. There’s nothing between the Mandalay and those tanks except empty dirt lots, so there’s probably a big chewed-up patch in one of them full of bullets. The two that actually hit could have been lucky hits that he thought had gone high.

Funny that it was reported Paddock wanted to by tracers from gun show. The article is somewhere here on FR. I guess we know why now.

Not easy to ignite. That's something he should have (might have) known since he owned a couple planes.

And if they did ignite, the flames would go straight up.

Do we even know ABSOLUTELY that the bullets found in the tanks came from his guns?
