If you're paying the hotel price for alcohol LOL
Why didn't anyone ask questions at a hotel in a tourist city whose whole culture is about not asking questions? Everyone knows their slogan "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, unless you've got a lot of suitcases, then we're sticking our noses in."
Last thing I wanna do after a day of flying across country to vegas with a monstrous 5 year old is to have to go through some TSA-like security at a hotel.
Vegas shooter's note revealed to be a mathematical equation on the trajectory of the bullets he would fire.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/las-vegas-g...ry?id=50357529"I could see on it he had written the distance, the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet was going to be for the crowd," Newton said in a clip from the the episode, which will be televised on Sunday night. "So he had had that written down, and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there."
Pressed about what the meaning of the numbers were, Newton said, Paddock "must have done the calculations online or something, to figure out what his altitude was going to be, and how high up he was -- how far out the crowd was going to be, and what -- at that distance -- and what the drop of his bullet was going to be.
"He hadn't written out the calculations -- all he had was written out [was] the final numbers that were on the sheet," he added.
This guy knows more about bullet drop than EA.
Damn, that's the most savage thing in this thread.
bullet math should be regulated
I'd figure on it just being an old note since he was using bumpfire, which isn't a very accurate method of firing.
how much do you even need to worry about that stuff shooting down on people from 1000 feet away? .223 muzzle velocity is over 3000 fps and if you're just spraying into a crowd what does it matter if it drops 6 inches
edit 1400 feet away so drop is like 2 feet but still i'm sure he wasnt actually aiming at particular people so again why bother
Usually in situations such as these, people want answers. Now, obviously some planning was involved due to the amount of guns purchased. But notes like that means he wasn't just preparing to snap and shoot a random place, but that he specifically wanted to shoot at this event.
By itself it doesn't mean much, just another piece to the puzzle.
I just don't see this as the big deal everyone is making it out to be. There are apps out there that do the same things for lazier people. He wasn't firing in a way to really need that anyway, so I think it's just a pad from a previous range trip he left in his case.
I am more interested in finding out a why, than the how.
