Nah. It's easy for someone to think they hear something (and be misled) when they don't understand the acoustics.

Like I said, I've seen the video these Niburuspiracists recycled - when it was first published.
I understood the audio then, and it hasn't changed.
The guy wants you to believe the "shooter" made sounds that
A: were not local gunfire. B: are associated with the pattern of reports that is coming from the hotel.
Eventually somebody will compile a timeline with links to every burst of gunfire. I believe the evidence will all point back to those two windows. Haven't seen any evidence to the contrary yet.
There isn't any discernible echo. Probably because this is the aiming point and not the origination point.
Here's what I see between the last bullet sound and the last report:
T1
T2
Elapsed Time
Total Distance
17.69
18.76
1.07
1208.80ft
Where T1 is the last bullet sound and T2 is the last report sound.
1.07 seconds between T1 and T2 = 1208 ft.
1208 ft from the Mandalay Bay, per Google earth, puts us right about where the video is being taken.
It's difficult to count the number of bullet events because they are in close synchronization with the report events - but I count somewhere between 80 - 95; making this probably one of the longer events I counted in the cab- driver videos - 94 rounds, which I suspect is from a 100 round drum magazine.

What do you mean by the last bullet? It that the time of the sound as recorded on that video, or what is it?
Is T1 a gunshot and T2 an echo.
What do you mean by report, if not an echo?
And just how did you calculate such a remarkable result for distance?
Don't tell me. 1,125 feet per second (the speed of sound) x 1.07 = 1,203.75 and you rounded it off to 1,208 feet. Forget the rounding. Why does that measure the distance from the video taker to the shooter?
In dry air at 0 °C (32 °F), the speed of sound is 331.2 metres per second (1,087 ft/s; 1,192 km/h; 741 mph; 644 kn). At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 343 metres per second (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph; 667 kn), or a kilometre in 2.91 s or a mile in 4.69 s.

Then I calculated the difference in time between the last bullet sound (T1) and the corresponding last report sound (T2).
T2-T1 = time thereporttraveled = 1.07
1.07 * FPS of 1130.8 = 1208.8

An analysis of two sequential burts of gunfire between: ["Taxi Driver Video" the Zapruder Film of the Las Vegas shooting UNCUT / UNEDITED] https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=mBbOFwWquAw&feature=youtu.be&t=1m7s and https://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=mBbOFwWquAw&feature=youtu.be&t=1m24s =============== T1: Time from start of video (1minute N seconds) at the time of the last shot in the burst. T2: Time from the start of the video (1minute N seconds) at the time of the echoed sound event corresponding to T1. TempF: the air temperature (72 degrees F) FPS: 1130 ft per second -- The speed of sound at 72 degrees F Elapsed Time: T2 minus T1, the number of seconds between the last shot, and the echo of the last shot in each burst. Total Distance: Elapsed Time * FPS = the total distance traveled between T1 and T2. Echo Distance = The distance the echo traveled from the aiming point back to the point of origin. ===============
Conclusion: Burst B is NOT two weapons being fired simultaneously. It is one weapon being fired at a more distant target. The longer distance, observable in the period between Burst B's T1 and T2, manifests a corresponding longer period of reverb. It is the reverb that is being incorrectly interpreted as a second weapon (and second shooter) firing at the same time.
"For example, if the microphone is adjacent to the victim (such as a 911 recording might be), the equation for determining the distance becomes: t=tb - ts= d/Vb-d/Vs If the muzzle blast duration obscures the sound of the bullet hitting the target, simple inspection of the sound waveform is insufficient. "
I took their formula, built a spreadsheet, and plugged in 223 balistic data generated via shooterscalculator.com:
Important to note:
* Presently we don't have information regarding specificaly which weapons and amunition were used. So the ballistic data was generated with a guestimate 223 configuration.
* My DAW (Sonar) doesn't appear to have the capability of capturing a sound spectrogram like the ones the authors of the study produced; but after reading their commentary on the blast noise obscuring impact noise, I filtered the crowd noise, and filtered/looked alternately for the report and then the high energy impact sounds - and I revised T1 and T2 accordingly.
More accurate results could possibly be obtained if the corresponding burst sequence on the Taxi-Driver video is identified and aligned, as the taxi-driver's audio contains only the muzzle blast and echo. It doesn't have the crowd and impact noise to obscure the muzzle events.
