Anyone find out what types of weapons Paddock used?


AR-15’s and AK-47’s. Various mods here and there. .38 or .357 revolver that’s it appears he killed himself with.

Really not that important...but how did he check in with her ID. Wouldn't she need it while traveling? Or is using a passport the only thing needed?

I agree that banning bump stocks or other attachments that make weapons more lethal won't necessarily "prevent" something like this from happening. It certainly could deter someone from using one though, couldn't it? It's like saying building a wall won't prevent people from crossing the border, or locking your door at night won't prevent someone from breaking into your house, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

So your point is, we should just make it as easy as possible for killers to kill (and kill in higher quantities) because they are going to do it anyway?

That is basically my point. For terrorism to be effective you have to be aware what you are supposed to be terrified of. Some overt declaration (like a manifesto or identification with some group) is needed.




Yes, and ISIS came out and took responsibility.

Everything else we havent been told has been withheld by the US

They found her player's card, but checked into the room he booked. Maybe he gambled or got some benefits from the player's card? Idk how they work

that first video has aluminum bent perfectly, bolted on, etc..not everyone can make that and it be as effective as buying one legally manufactured.

Also, it's another layer a potential mass murderer has to make it through. The more layers, the greater the chance that person fails.

At this point I'm pretty confident the security guard scared him into killing himself.

Otherwise, the timeline makes no sense. I can't see how a group of officers waited on SWAT while Paddock continued to send hundreds of rounds into the crowd. I refuse to believe it.

There’s no need for an American ID if you have an American passport

There are DIY videos for just about anything dude. It doesn't mean that people have the skills to do it. And even if they do, like someone else said, I'd rather take my chances with someone using a homemade one that one that's professionally manufactured to work near flawlessly.

I saw the pics from hotel room. Wondering how he fired so fast, unless some of the sounds were echos off of each other. At one point sounded like what I'd think a machine gun sounds like. BTW, I never said he used a belt feed. There is a reading comprehension disorder on this board.

Fair enough. Back to the wild speculation we go...

Was he still shooting when the first group of cops showed up (not SWAT)? If not, he just offed himself at a random time.
No.

The only person he shot at towards the entrance was the security guard.

Cops waited for SWAT.

When SWAT made contact, dude was dead.

His point is that the person DOING it declares allegiance to ISIS, Allah, and whatever else they like either before, or during the crime
