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
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. 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

That's a pretty damn good shot for a slip and fall victim who was known to be a human trip hazard.
