OK, I was wrong about how he armed himself, but I believe that I was still correct that he had a bad plan because he was not elevated and in a protected area like a SNIPER would desire. If he was just running around on the same level floor as his victims and shooting at SHORT range then he might have been better off (from his perspective) with 2 or more handguns.
