How did he get “60 rounds” off with an SKS and not get dropped during the reload?

I have an SKS with an AK 30 rd mag conversion and it is a lousy weapon of choice for mass killing. You can’t just dump the mag, pop in a new one, charge and fire. You kind-a-can, but nothing like an AK or AR and odds of a jam are off the chart.

It was probably the the last thought that went through his mind (right before the cop’s return fire)

Now they’re saying that it was a WASR-10.

I heard SKS this morning on a news brief during the Brian Kilmeade radio show...It doesn’t surprise me that the news reporter wouldn’t know the difference between an SKS and a Nerf Gun....

Later in here, someone heard it was an “AK-47 type assault rifle”...The WASR-10 is definitely AK-47 type...

Next thing we’ll hear it was a Ruger 10-22....
