8. Regarding the weapons, the rifles and ammunition, I remember seeing on 4chan something about their being

I think the more realistic way, is the guns were simply hidden in his luggage. Most guns break down to smaller components, wrap them in clothing and can avoid noise of metal parts bouncing around.

Bringing in a 3-4 bags every few hours could easily go unnoticed. Hotel employees are rotating constantly, and there are thousands of guest. In one day he could bring in 30 large bags with multiple guns and ammo in each Hotel staff is unlikely to look inside your bags, unless they're looking for something to steal.

Yes but I guarantee you busboys talk and they'd be wondering why this dude had 30 or so bags to bring to his room - and it'd be weirder or more suspicious too if he didn't want any help with them.

Are you assuming he brought up dozens of bags to his room at one time and that he arrived at checkin with them all at once? Wouldn't it make more sense for somebody planning a crime like this to take a couple bags like a normal person, then maybe a few hours later go fetch another bag or two? You'd blend in completely among the thousands of travelers and go unnoticed.

(it would be nice if some of the visual evidence would be released...the lack of videos showing him carrying bags is interesting and lends credence to some of the theories about the weapons being brought in from the roof)

No...I'm just saying if someone has a boat-load of bags to bring up - regardless if they were done all at once or piecemeal....folks would probably notice and remember it...because hotel staff tend to talk amongst themselves about clients. There's usually only a handful of bellman at one hotel, and with tips being important to their income, they'd probably remember the guy who carted up a ton of stuff to his room...whether he tipped a lot (in which case you'd definitely remember him) - or if he hardly or didn't tip at all (in which you'd remember him even more clearly!)
