"The ATF just announced that they found 47 firearms altogether in Paddock's possession. In his room, he had 12 of them outfitted with slidefire stocks, which are a device that functions as a mostly unreliable way of manipulating a semi-automatic rifle to fire on something roughly simulating or similar to full-auto fire. He had such slidefire stocks on four Daniel Defense DDM4 rifles, three FN-15s and five Sig Sauer MCX's. No belt-fed or actual full auto weapons were used. [O]thers who lived in Vegas were right from the very beginning. The acoustics of the buildings on the Vegas strip messed with the sounds. It made slower, inconsistent "automatic" fire sound exactly like a belt-fed, crew-served machine gun on the slowest possible setting.

Onefriend who is very knowledgeable recent ex-military said he was sure it was belt-fed based on the audio.
Has the full firearms inventory been released?

I saw one report that said he had two tripod-mounted guns. Maybe reporters don't know the diff between bi-pods and tripods, but it's an order of magnitude difference in firearms.
