KENNESAW, Ga. — Police say two people are in critical condition after a gunman opened fire at a FedEx station outside Atlanta, injuring six people in all.

Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce also says the suspected gunman worked for FedEx as a package handler. He was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound about an hour after someone called 911 early Tuesday.

One employee of the package sorting facility in Kennesaw north of Atlanta said the gunman had an assault rifle, a knife and bullets strapped across his chest "like Rambo." The gunman's identity has not been released.

Going Federal?

What are the odds of the politics of the shooter being left of center? Pretty steep I bet given history of these events.

High capacity AK47 belt clips fed in to an assault ar15 Glock.

If they made criminal activity and murder illegal this wouldn’t happen.

What is it that Hollywood always says? ‘art imitates life’.

Argument’s getting pretty weak.

Most people just don’t push well nowadays and some have a tendency to kill those pushing them. Not right, but just the way it is.

Most people get butthurt waaaay too easy nowadays.

Bandoliers are for belt fed.

Not really. Bandoliers are belts with many pouches on them holding magazines, loose ammo, or clipped ammo. I own several.

Belted ammo is belted ammo, for a belt fed weapon, as you say.

Yes, the current Army resupply configuration is a cloth 7 pocket bandoleer with 21 ea (3 to a pocket) 10 round stripper clips and a mag loader for a total of 210 rounds ( 7 mags worth, a basic soldiers fighting load)....

Has been such since the advent of the M16.

A follow up report says he used a shotgun so we can blame Biden for inspiring this act.

One overexcited guy says 'assault weapon' so now it's an AR-15, right?

Despite the fact subsequent reports say SHOTGUN.

Zero fatalities, BTW. .... VERY poorly-executed False Flag by the Federal Government. Comeon, guys, WHAT AM I PAYING MY TAXES FOR????

Bandoliers are for belt fed.

I don't think so.

Per Wikipedia: A bandolier or a bandoleer is a pocketed belt for holding ammunition. It was usually slung sash-style over the shoulder, with the ammunition pockets across the midriff and chest. In its original form, it was common issue to soldiers from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, and contained either pre-packed chargers, small containers of wood, metal or cloth containing the measured amount of gunpowder for a single shot with a muzzle-loading muskets or other guns, or early forms of cartridges also containing a ball. It might also carry other accessories for shooting, or grenades. Any bag worn in the same style may also be described as a bandolier bag; equally ammunition holding pocketed belts worn round the waist may also be called bandoliers.

Please see my post #10 that caught my own error.

Incidentally, My Google image search found no “Rambo” images (of Stallone) with any kind of bandolier, and a few showing fake images with ammo belts.
