We will probably never know for certain many of the facts about his rampage, including why he had so many rifles in the room.
I read somewhere one theory is that he had multiple rifles loaded and ready to go and that he changed weapons instead of magazines.
When the magazine was empty in one rifle he just picked up the next in line and resumed firing.
Until and if forensics finds spent bullets that can be matched to a specific rifle we won't really know.
Also, I suspect that his location was identified much more quickly than he anticipated and that he planned on being able to continue his slaughter for much longer than is the case.
“When the magazine was empty in one rifle he just picked up the next in line and resumed firing.”
Actually it is much much easier and faster to change a magazine than to pick up a new gun and get it into firing position.

Doesn't hold, I am 73, I can change Mags faster than I can put down one rifle, pick up another and gt back in position.
