Which actually brings me to my other thought on this incident, that these are more like the actions of a younger man...all that setting up and guns ain't lighweight, running from window to window (there were barely breaks in the firing so he was damn quick) and as you say the toll on the body. A hell of a lot of set up guns equipment planning for 9-11 mins? Seems so very very over the top for something that could have been much simpler easier and quite possibly far more deadly.

I'm going to guess you have never fired any of the mentioned weapons.
An AR-15's recoil is negligible at best, and an AK's is a bit above that.
Add in all the by-pods, and you can shoot all day long without breaking a sweat.
source: Am a shooter, that has spent entire days on range with my weapons.
Exactly! makes no sense. So a 64 year old man has enough energy to bring in 23 guns ..ammo bags back and forth but doesn't have energy to kill more lol they aren't asking the right questions

Listen to me clearly,
That is why I am bringing this up. That Aussie story is bull#. It is being pushed on some major media outlets too.
The food cart with the camera on it has wires leading into room 32-134, and those wires went through a connecting door to 32-135 (supposedly). The door that got shot through and breached was for 32-135.
There is some hush hush over room 32-134. They are playing it like 32-135 it is a "double room suite", but its not. They are rooms rented separately, that have a connecting door (which is usually dead bolted on both sides).

Mr Hodges' window wasn't being used.....Paddock had a suite with two rooms i.e. two windows

We should also focus on who rented room 32134. Why aren't people talking about room 32134 and only focusing on 32135? Why did Stephen need to rent two rooms? Did he need two beds?
He could have broken other windows on 32135 and had nearly the same vantage point.
Please don't stop asking this question.

These things called carts and hotel employees exist.
Have you ever been to Vegas? They don't check bags at hotels.
A teenager walks up and says "Can I take your bags, sir?," you tell them the room number and it's done for you.

What do you mean "don't forget he was 30"?

You clearly don’t understand the layout of the room

Stories up.. how much energy did he have to keep going back and forth to his car loading bag after bag suit case after suit case and then still have enough energy to unpack everything.. thento shoot for 9 mins wire cameras and doing all this while supposedly frail and sick
