Have you watched this in full? It's utter horseshit.
A: it was almost definitely a .30 cal - I recall seeing photos emerge of the LMG used, but will need to look for them to confirm.
B: The video provides absolutely no audio samples to compare with what he's written on the whiteboard. Granted, the whiteboard has SOME factual info, but, it also just acts as a pointing reference and conversation piece for him.
C: We already heard him at the start, "forensic acoustic analysis", why does he feel the need to constantly repeat this? (Neuro Linguistic Programming - repeat something enough times and the reader/listener will begin to accept it as fact)
D: He's making out as if he knows exactly what gun was used and exactly what grain(density/weight) the bullets were - any change of weapon(some guns afford better muzzle velocity than others which fire the same ammo) or bullet grain will throw his theory out the window.
E: This dude looks like a jarhead/cia grunt.
F: More NLP, he constantly demands that you agree with him as part of his collective "we", all the while trying to point you to his whiteboard because it's scribbles, math and graphs make it seem as though he's speaking from a place of authority on the subject.
I think the analysis is useful but far from definitive for the reasons you point out. I don't think it's "absolute shit" and it's fairly straight forward to replicate the analysis. (I might try this if I have some more spare time). But if you follow what he's saying (which is correct), then you must acknowledge that he's basing this analysis off the idea that BOTH or ALL shooters used one and only one type of ammo. (.223 remington apparently) This isn't known, but we DO KNOW that the hotel room leaked photos show multiple guns and if they were modified semi-autos as purported, they would get hot and a gun swap would be a good idea. If the shooter swapped guns and ammo type one time, it would force a re-do of the analysis with correct values for the different ammo fires and make it more difficult to identify which ammo corresponded to which report (bang) heard on the audio clip.
take away: The basic premise that the official story (one shooter) came out too soon and doesn't account for readily available video/audio and witness accounts is pretty solid though.
I'm a little tired at the moment so wasn't too impressed with his presentation. He does use factual information to try to bolster his assertions, but, without making a comparison to any footage/audio, he's just assuming you know which shoots he was 'analyzing' in order to reach his conclusions...
Plus the whole teleporting shooter theory... don't even wanna know how far he had to reach up his shit-chute, for that one.

I've seen nothing to back up the claims of modified semi-auto rifles, I did see a photo of the LMG and I think a pistol flashed by the screen too. The shots sound like a .30cal and from what I recall, the LMG did remind me of several .30 cal models I've looked at, though, many guns can be re-chambered to fire other ammo - but, my ears tell me (based on the footage available) that it was a .30cal lmg doing the brunt of the firing.

Also agreeable, keen to see things develop, just pretty damn sure the linked video is clickbait(as in, the makers of it know that they're talking shit)

Upvoated, very well put.
I'm a little tired at the moment so wasn't too impressed with his presentation. He does use factual information to try to bolster his assertions, but, without making a comparison to any footage/audio, he's just assuming you know which shoots he was 'analyzing' in order to reach his conclusions...
