Has anyone identified what that is laying next to the rifle? Almost looks like a piece of the forestock blown off by the blast.

saiga AK74

That piece might be the forestock pistol grip that became detached from falling on it. Or it may be the perp’s penile implant.

It’s clearly an AK variant with Magpul furniture on the backend. Not sure about the fore-end, but there probably was no wood on it during the shootout.

I think you’re right. If you zoom in on the stock right behind the barrel, it looks like something has been cut/removed/blown out from there. And if you turn the separate piece over, it looks like it would fit in that space.

The rifle in the rubble pic is a Saiga in 5.45x39 or 5.56. The piece in question is a cheek riser for the Magpul Zhukov folding stock. I have the same stock on my VEPR 54.
