Just too many weapons to make any sense and a heck of a lot of ammo. In addition, has anyone seen the video with what appears to be gunfire coming from the 12th-floor area with accompanying sound? That same video shows zero muzzle flash from the floor/windows where he was said to be.

I haven't seen any video, but unless someone blew out windows on the 12th floor area of the building to open fire, that seems unlikely. As far as muzzle fire is concerned, I wouldn't read too much into that. Depending on where he was shooting from in the room, you might not actually see it, and with the quality of cell phone cameras over long range, it simply may not have been picked up.

As far as the number of weapons/amount of ammunition he had in the room, I don't see this as evidence of a grander conspiracy.  Automatic weapons can fire anywhere from 400-800 rounds a minute.  It wouldn't take very long to blow through thousands of rounds of ammo, and having multiple weapons loaded and ready to go would speed up the process of sustaining the fire for longer before needing to reload.  He wouldn't need any assistance to work his way through his cache of rifles pretty quickly, and this entire incident went on for a long time.
