According to Las Vegas Police Department Assistant Sheriff Todd R. Fasulo, 23 guns and loaded magazines were found in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino room, where the suspected shooter Stephen Paddock stayed and fired randomly into people.
Another 19 guns were found in his Mesquite, Nevada home.
The incident, which took place on Sunday night, killed at least 59 people and injured over 500.
Police said that among his armoury were some high powered guns, capable of penetrating the protective gears.
Law enforcement officers also added that the suspect may have committed suicide following the attack.
Who is Stephen Paddock?
According to records, Paddock is a former accountant, who lived in a desert community.
The 64-year-old suspect had a pilot and hunting licence and was sans criminal record.
Despite a claim from Islamic State, who shouldered responsibility for the attack, police are yet to establish a connection between the IS and Paddock.
Officials are also looking for a motive behind his actions.
