They are trying to claim the SKS is a military-style rifle? It’s also not a sniper rifle. The 7.62x39mm can barely hit anything over 200m unless you have good optics and a proficient shooter, which his Army buddies says the shooter was not (unlike the guys at AKOU who can shoot).

Five dead and seven injured cops say differently.

“Five dead and seven injured cops say differently.”

The 7.62x39mm is a very effective caliber. I prefer it over the 5.56 or 5.45x39mm because I shoot mostly iron sights. It’s effective at short range (<300m) but not accurate like the other carbine calibers or 7.62x51 or 54R.

He was very close when shot the police. That’s why I think he probably used the 30 round detachable magazines instead of the standard 10 round stripper clips.

Are we still presuming he acted alone here? 5 D & 7 I doesn’t mean Johnson was the sole trigger-man...Unless I’ve been slow on the news/data feed reading.
