Las Vegas killer's grim end: Stephen Paddock's body pictured on hotel room floor surrounded by assault rifles and bullets after mass shooting

Chilling photos have emerged showing Las Vegas
mass killer Stephen Paddock's body on a hotel room
floor surrounded by guns and a huge cache of bullets.
Paddock, 64, killed himself after murdering 59 people
and wounding more than 500 others in the deadliest
mass shooting in modern US history.
When a police SWAT team blew open the door, they
found a scene of carnage, with powerful assault rifles
scattered on the floor at the killer's feet and stacks of
magazines.

Officers found more than 20 firearms inside the room
at the Mandalay Bay resort after Paddock targeted
country music fans at a festival across the Las Vegas
Strip with heavy bursts of gunfire.
Photos also show the bullet-riddled double door to
Paddock’s hotel suite lies behind police tape after
officers blasted their way in.
Just beyond the shattered 32nd floor entrance, resting
on a bipod for stability, is a terrifying assault rifle -
part of his 23-gun cache in the room he used as a
sniper's perch.
Two more semi-automatic AR-15-style weapons are
pictured on the carpet, strewn with spent ammunition,
where he killed at least 50 music fans and injured
200.
“It was an arsenal fit for a commando team,” said one
source.
One gun appears to have a “bump stock”, making it
fully automatic and allowing Paddock to fire at a rate
of hundreds of rounds a minute. The mass murderer
was also using over-sized magazines, with up to 100
rounds.
These allowed the multi-millionaire shooter to fire in
longer bursts before reloading, or picking up his next
gun.
Supersized magazines are banned in many US states
which only allow up to 15 bullets at time. At least
was one unused by the time he turned a gun on
himself.
Another weapon pictured was made by Daniel
Defense, of Savannah, Georgia, which also produces
variants of the AR-15 rifle, based on the US Army
M16.
As medics treaed hundreds injured in Sunday night’s
attack on the crowd of 22,000 at the Route 91
Harvest Festival, the FBI was trying to how he
stockpiled his weapons.
