“The SKS can be reloaded with stripper clips that make it fairly rapid with practice.”
Very few people practice using stripper clips anymore. I load my Mosin with stripper clips but it is not easy. He would be fairly close to his victims using the 7.62x39mm.
I’m going to guess he used a Yugo SKS that use those ugly 30 round magazines and possibly the folding polymer after-market stock.
I still psychologically feel the pain in my thumb of an M1 stripper clip!!
