23 weapons in the hotel room

Dan Frosch, Jon Kamp and Ian Lovett report in The Wall Street Journal,
Authorities have found 42 guns linked to Stephen Paddock, including those they say he brought to the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino and weapons recovered from his home in Mesquite, Nev., about 80 miles away. The 64-year-old also had a large stockpile of ammunition and an explosive that detonates when shot by bullets in his home, authorities said.

...Police said Monday night that they recovered an arsenal of 23 firearms in Mr. Paddock’s hotel room. At least one of the guns was outfitted with a “bump stock,” which is a device that allows the weapon to fire at a rapid rate, according to a law-enforcement official. He had 19 more guns in his home along with thousands of rounds of ammunition and Tannerite, which detonates when shot and is used in target practice, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said.
