Why didn't Paddock get a suppressor? The MSM paint him as a man angry, murderous, who didn't want to be confronted. If he can procure all those exotic weapons, why couldn't he find a suppressor so he could kill and not have his position revealed so quickly?

He clearly did not have a tactical vest or any tactical clothes, so the only way for him to swap mags was from a table or the floor and he had next to zero training with guns so even reloading a mag would take him like 5sec(swap mag realign shot) *40mags = 200sec or 3.5min for 1200 rounds(30 each) would take 1/3 of the alleged 10min of shooting

And he was an older guy with a questionable physique, so to take 1200 rounds while swapping mags and aiming and realigning shots would basically be more than he's body was capable of physically, even if he pulled that off he'd probably be dead of a heart attack after.

I'm not sure about the zero training. If he truly used bump stocks, he had years of experience with them because I have not seen a single youtube video of anyone shooting them with consistency or regularity. He managed to shoot them all perfectly... which is physically impossible. Bump stocks suck and you usually can only get small bursts with one before it stops shooting. According to police, he'd been buying guns for over a decade so I'm sure he'd been shooting for as long.

I'm not saying you can't shoot 1100 rounds in 9 minutes. I could do it without a bump stock, reloading mags from a table as he did. I'm saying he ONLY shot 1100 rounds and had such amazing fucking accuracy. And if he shot 1100 rounds, why wasn't there 1100 shell casings? Or even 100 shell casings?

Here's a video of a guy shooting a stationary target 1200 yards away with .223. He couldn't hit it 50% of the time shooting slowly and methodically. I won't even get into the fact that after 1000 yards the .223 doesn't have enough velocity to kill someone... ESPECIALLY with store bought ammo. I'm definitely not getting into the fact that there was enough wind that night at that elevation that the bullet would be tumbling after about 1/2 that distance.

more like 65% accuracy according to the LVPD

He could have used coffin magazines or some such, not that there aren't still big holes in the official story, just saying.

Edit: in this photo you can see a coffin mag in one rifle and what looks like a big pile of others next to the pillar

Those mags look unused and we've already seen the picture of the table with loaded unused mags on it. It doesn't make sense that he'd simply quit shooting unless he accomplished his goal... whatever that was.

Interesting that he'd use a bipod without having something to rest it on... I guess he just wanted it to look more menacing when they found it later.

Hmmm... that AR on the right does not have a bump stock. The one on the left MIGHT but it doesn't look like it. It's hard to tell if the stock is connected to the grip.

That's not what that means. Logic is flawed. You're not accounting for richochet, and bullets hitting multiple people.
