20 rounds? Not a gun guy but isn’t that more than 2 mags?

Depends on the gun and magazine. You can get 33 rounders for 9mm Glocks, for example, and a standard capacity magazine for an AR-15 is 30 rounds. Magazines with more than a 10 round capacity are illegal in Connecticut unless you owned them prior to 2013 and registered them with the state, though, and you can’t carry them loaded with more than 10 rounds even if you do legally own them. So either multiple guns, multiple magazines, or illegal magazines.

Depends how many guns and if he was following the law or not. Considering he was firing shots illegally, well, you can probably guess his opinion on the law.

The "how many guns" part may sound stupid but there is such an idea as the "New York reload" which is firing one gun until empty and then just pulling out a second gun and firing that until empty rather than reloading. Cops used to do that with revolvers sometimes.

I'm also going to second what b33r engineer said, could be any combo of those. We may or may not see if and when he is caught, though by that time the guns and mags in question might have taken a swim or a dumpster dive.

They had 3d printable 30 round mags for the ar15 platform like a decade ago. sure possession is illegal but when has legality stopped criminal behavior?

It's 2 mags if the guy is following the law. But given his actions, I doubt he's concerned about magazine capacity laws. Many common handguns have 15-19 round magazines, some are higher.
