He didn’t know he got a good deal.

But he was “in” with his protest before the package trace.

A Sig in 7.62 X 51 mm? I'd say he got the better part of the deal.

What is a “high calibre” assault rifle?

I want to know that. My guess is that they wrote that simply cuz it sexes the story up.

Would the low powered assault rifle be greener?

Ah, the wonders of modern ‘journalism’...

“High Powered Assault Weapon” - as opposed to a “Low Powered Assault Weapon”??

And in the article, “High-caliber rifle” - the most common calibers for ‘assault rifles’ (especially the ‘high-powered’ ones) are 5.56mm (.223 cal), 7.62mm (.30cal) and 9mm (.38 cal) - none of which is considered a particularly ‘high caliber’....

Never let the facts get in the way of some good ol’ fashioned breathless propaganda....

They never seem to get these things right. That should be “High Powered Assault SNIPER Rifle....”
