The sheriff said some of them were jammed. He probably dropped guns as they jammed and grabbed another. Also, he tried to blow up fuel tanks with long-range shots, which would indicate he needed a high-end scoped rifle.
The guy was living his fantasy with huge capacity magazines.
Problem is, all those super sized mags are very unreliable and have a bad tendency to malfunction and jam, which makes them totally worthless.
Most of the “evil” stuff this guy was using was unreliable junk that serious armed professionals dismiss out of hand.
Fun perhaps for showing off and clowning at the range, but useless for serious work.
It's a good thing he bought that stuff because his choice of basic firearms was on the high quality side, but the junk he stuck on them caused them to jam - thankfully
I didn't catch this. Did he say that last night?
He probably dropped guns as they jammed and grabbed another.
Which makes sense, but also says something about the shooter again. If true, he did not know his platform and ammunition. Either he had not practiced much or he practiced and, rather than find good ammo and gun combinations, just learned that he would need back ups for anticipated jamming.
The guns that have been pictured so far look like new and rarely fired, or very well kept.
Again, it will be most telling when they start releasing details of the gun, gun purchase history, ammo type, etc. Doubt they will show this level of detail in the press releases, but would be good to know if he had 2000 rounds of US manufactured milgrade or match grade ammo, or if he was shooting bargain rounds. The photos seemed to show brass, not steel, casings, so it wasn't the cheapest stuff out there.
