AFAIK, there were only 3-4 bursts of less than 100 rounds each. I don't know the first thing about guns and I'm not looking for a fight, but are you suggesting that 300-400 bullets accounted for approx. 550 casualties?

Of the 550 casualties, all but about 150 were released within a day (probably NOT gunshot wounds), so say 150 still actually in the hospital and ~60 dead. That’s just over 200 gunshot casualties for however many rounds Paddock fired.
Note - I have not seen any official medical injuries tally so I am only guessing by reports how many may have actually been struck by bullets.

Between ricochets, bullets passing through one body and into another, and the fact that, to the best of my knowledge, there has been no official listing or differentiation of those wounded/killed by gunfire or ricochets and those wounded/killed in the stampede to get out of the kill-zone, I would say that 300-400 bullets is MORE than enough to have caused that carnage.
And I am familiar with weapons, serving in the military for 21 years (and in the infantry for five), and owning several privately-owned weapons and using them regularly at the range.

I wonder how many of those people were injured in the stampede, rather than actually wounded by bullets?
