there is also no longer any explanation for why he stopped shooting.

I can't read all of these posts in this thread, as I stopped putting emotional energy into this event a week after it occurred.
Personally I found the logistics of the attack extremely complex. It required well above typical infantry training meaning whoever did it was trained very well in crowd killing techniques from high places with the specific weapons that were used.
I say this from comparing what I was taught in the army to what was done at this event.
My unit actually was given SAWs to replace our M-16s which were originally our standard issued weapon along with m-60 machine guns which our unit had two of. Everyone else had M-16s, until they began phasing them out and replacing them with SAWs.
My point is never did we learn with our M-16s or the SAWs how to fire from extremely high vantage points, which according to some firearms experts the technique is different as you must aim the weapon at an upward arc to "umbrella" or shower the bullets down upon the mass targets. I don't know if this technique was used, but if it was that adds to the knowledge and skill the attackers had.
Another detail that surprised me was that the attack was done at ight time, yet no tracer bullets were used. Usually if you are firing a weapon during night, you prepare by having every 5 rounds spaced with a tracer to make it easier to hit your target(s).
Again, this tells me that whoever used these weapons were extremely well-trained kowing exactly how to aim and hit targets at night time with no problem.
I believe there was a camera system setup inside, because the attackers planned to escape alive. They either killed Paddock before the attack began, or he was part of the attack and was killed after helping.
The short period of time, and the amount of damage done also indicates extreme skill and knowledge of the weapons used. It also tells me that if a long period of time elapsed from the time the shooting ended, to the time the room was found and invaded there was plenty of time for the attackers to stage and fix the scene as best they could and escape.
The camera system was fixed inside the room so the attackers could kill anyone that tried to interfere with the 10-11 minute attack. Once the attack was done in the amount of time planned, they escaped.
I don't know if any new info came out, like I said I stopped reading it after a week because of so much conflicting information and also because it's clear other entities besides Paddock were involved.
I refuse to try to sort out who is responsible, simply because there are just way too many entities that it could be.
There are so many secretive factions and groups who could gain from this attack that imo chances are it's not one group or another, but multiple groups working in tandem.
Anyway, if someone already mentioned this stuff sorry, also, maybe some new info came out and disproves or proves some of what I write here, I don't know.
I just felt like chatting about it today, with you guys.
