The jihadist shot one Canadian soldier, but missed a second. That soldier might have stopped the attack there, but did not have any ammunition for his weapon.

Nice rifle, I’d love to find a .357. Lever’s are highly underrated.

Tough $hit for him.

It may be a Henry .22. It looks pretty small.

" relatively slow-firing weapon."

The Rifleman and numerous present day entertainment shooters prove different.

Reloading? kinda slow..

Nice thing about a lever, you can keep your target while cycling another round. Of course it’s not a semi but in speed a lever is #2.

That’s why the Sheriff’s office had a rack of ‘em. Plus one’s wench could always be reloading the spare rifle.

How could he get one? It was illegal. Didn’t he know? He must not have or he wouldn’t have used one to kill people.

That is what I thought when I first saw that photo and saw the hammer. I figured a lever action hunting rifle, But they said he shot 30+ rounds inside the Parliament building.

I thought a Winchester held maybe 6 or 7 rounds. Am I missing something? How many times did he have to reload to get that many rounds off?

A pump can be as fast as a semi-auto but it takes a real expert to do that. I once saw a guy (he was a Texas Ranger) fire a model 870 so fast that it might have been faster than most full autos.

A model 92 or 94 would make a pretty decent rural guerrilla weapon. It is not that fast but can be kept stoked from loose ammo carried in pockets.

Shoot one, load one.

With practice, the loading time can be greatly improved.

Why is he referred to a “Montreal terrorist”?

They were considered to be a fast reload in their day. That is why they have a loading port on the right side. You can top off the magazine by slipping in cartridges from loose rounds in your pockets, while keeping a round in the chamber.

If there is a pause in the action, slip in 3 or 4 rounds.

Why do they call a magazine a clip?

The 1873 and 1892 are pretty speedy. I live about 6 miles from the Single Action Shooting Society Founders Ranch and these folks could have laid out all the “fast guns” of the west with no problem.

This yahoo probably was slow, but a lever gun is fast in the hands of an expert.

Because he was a terrorist, and Montreal is the location that ties him to the event.

The guy who killed the soldier with a car was in Montreal. The shooter was in Ottowa.

I used to have a Browning model 92 in .44 mag. It could be reloaded quickly tho it would have been rough on the thumb.

In a shootout I doubt if you would even notice.
