A .223 Bushmaster converted to .50 cal? I’d be scared to pull the trigger on that. Maybe that’s why he didn’t use it when he had the chance. Didn’t know that magazines and hollow-pionts were illegal.

Damn. Even if it works ... that’s gonna kick like a sonofabitch. I thought .50 cal rifles had to have special barrels to absorb and reduce the recoil to human capacity.

From the article:

"During the struggle, officers noticed that Woodson was concealing a loaded Bushmaster semi-automatic .223 caliber rifle which was converted to .50 caliber. "(Bold-face is mine)

How can you do that?

This is New Jersey, fairly strict gun laws for the law-abiding citizen. As far as I know hollow points are illegal...
