Kristen berer. I have zero military experience, but yet can take a .22 rifle at 50 yards and shoot straws in half, and mind you I am freestanding also, no bench rest. Same goes for larger caliber rifles at greater distances, and still no bench rest. Now when it comes to handguns, I am just okay. Jamming or misfires are dependent on the type of ammo, (Low quality ammo = jamming and misfires, while higher quality ammo a lot less jams and misfires.)also he might have hand loaded his own ammo, which is added quality control compared to over the counter ammo. Security did respond, but they were way over their heads on this one. I mean most of these security guards don't even pack a gun. I personally think that security and LVPD response was very reasonable considering how fast the situation developed. Let's face it, you might train for these situations, but the odds are most will never face these kind of situations in a lifetime, meaning it goes out the door as soon as the training is over with, so most are caught off guard when these kind of horrors do take place.

Kristen berer. He wasn't zeroing in on people, he was aiming into the crowd that had no clue what was happening until it was too late, and that is why there is not 500 dead and 58 or 59 wounded instead. You are looking for accuracy, which he was not aiming for. Now when it comes to weapons modification I do understand your point, but you have to realize also that some modifications do work and some don't. Now since he planned this out like a mission, I am sure he had lots of practice way beforehand, and fixed or just abandoned some gun modifications for another modification. It is called trial and error, until you get it right, surprisingly ammo can make all the difference also, because I can attest that one brand of ammo can work great in one gun, while the same ammo in another gun that is exactly the same doesn't work worth a damn. Bottom line, the Vegas shooter did his homework before he committed the horror.
