The SKS can be reloaded with stripper clips that make it fairly rapid with practice.
“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.
Attempting to convert this rifle with detachable mags are pretty unreliable.
From the videos we heard and saw the dude was able to get off a lot of shots quickly.
