One thing to know is that an elevated shooter has to compensate for his height to prevent shooting over what he intends to hit, the reason being that a gun's sight cocks the gun up to compensate for the bullet's drop. Think of pointing the gun straight up or down; that cocking would mean shooting at, say, a balloon directly overhead, using a sight adjusted for horizontal will mean missing your target at that same angle. Same for directly down. Anything else will have a partial such affect, which is considerable.

Unfortunately this guy probably adjusted correctly, but he wouldn't be able to constantly change that adjustment easily and keep up his apparent rate of fire. So I would assume he was accurate towards the middle, and missing for shorter and longer [may have been why he missed all the musicians?]

Just some info to know that in the panic I too would probably forget all about!
