While I think LV was a false flag, I'm not sold on the helicopter theory. I saw no tracers (yes you can replace), which makes shooting from an airborne platform, in the dark, from what looks like a half mile, is extremely difficult, even with good optics. From what I can see, the supposed helo looks to be on the other side of the Mandalay Bay, placing it at a minimum, of 1500 yards from the center of the audience. Under these conditions, 550 +/- casualties seems extremely high.

Why would you need helicopters? Why not just fire from the guys room?
What does it gain you?

What was the distance from "the guys room" to the center field?

I think they reported 500-600 ft up to 1100.
