It is indeed precision shooting, that's the worst part, the guy allegedly did the maths to figure out where to aim, to compensate the bullets' curved trajectory due to the distance
What doesn't add up is that the guy wasn't a pro, at least officially, and the way he shot... Well it doesn't really fit with precision shooting, and doesn't indicate he was into some sort of neat work
"The duration of the bursts, as recorded, suggest that Mr. Paddock cared little about the military’s prescriptions for automatic fire. Sustained rapid fire is difficult to control and causes many weapons, especially light weapons, to overheat quickly.
Maj. Dave Eastburn, a Pentagon spokesman, said that the military had no record of Mr. Paddock serving in any of the uniformed services."

all of those vegas hotels have heavy duty sealed windows for reasons of energy efficiency, and liability vs suicide etc.
The only hotel with broken windows was the Mandalay. In that one room.
How many people can you hit and kill if you fire rapid fire into a crowd like that? It's not precision shooting here.

Or dedicated amateurs who had read up on it, and studied a few YT videos
for example

how hard is that?
