Here's a pic of the weapon used by the shooter in Dallas.

Post-explosion photo of Saiga A-74 7.62x39mm?

I believe this is Micah X. Johnson's rifle.

[plain talk]

Looks like Micah blowed up real good.

[Nifster]

Interesting

Different than what some where claiming

[Bender2]

That is not an SKS—

Blmk

Fresh batch of tinfoil just came in, so going to try it out. Would that magazine have survived an blast that would have killed a man? I guess he could have shielded it by turning his back to the “drone”.

You’re right, Bender - that’s an AK-variant ...

[Afterguard]

I think the caliber shown in the description under the pic is incorrect. It does look like an AK-74 and if it is, it’s 5.45x39. Not 7.62x39. May he burn eternally for his actions.

"Sure you used enough dynamite there, Butch?"

[guardian_of_liberty]

Would’ve paid to see that.

Not an SKS. Just in time for me to avoid making an ass of myself in an essay. Thanks.

[Stentor]

I feel better. I thought I was hearing things on those first 5 shots.

[Gator113]

LOL...that was my first thought.

I take it that you have never been in combat.

I did not know this until now.

" The Russians made it clear that the new 5.45 round HAD to be NO LESS effective than the standard 7.62x39 and their "real world" experiences in Afghanistan and Chechnya indicate that it is. The Afghan's were so impressed by the 5.45 that they nicknamed it "The Poison Bullet" and "The Devils' Bullet" for the wounding effects. The 5.45 is infamous for it extreme wounding effects cause by the wildly tumbling bullet. The Russian believed that a tumbling bullet would be more effective, so they deliberately designed the 5.45 to tumble as quickly as possible, and to tumble wildly. As an added "feature", when the bullet slows enough in flesh, it makes an almost 90 degree turn off the main bullet path. This corkscrew-like tumbling and turn in an odd direction made it impossible for the crude Afghan medics to probe for a bullet still in the body."

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Correct. It may be a different caliber than 7.62x39mm which is why I put the ? at the end. I’m not sure.

May the Good Lord take a liken’ to ya and Blow You Up Real Good (alternatively:. Blow You Up Real Soon)

[al baby]

Lots of drop ceiling debrie there

[TribalPrincess2U]

No matter what it is, the slimey media will make it an assault weapon that need to be banned.

[Truth29]

Early report and all that. I have been explaining what an SKS is and how it is a WWII weapon with millions of them in the US, etc. Now it looks like an AK.
