I have a theory on the taped magazines. Sometimes when you see a taped magazine the tape holds another loaded magazine. You fire the one in the rifle and then eject it, flip it around and load the other magazine. But this appears not to be the case in the photo. My theory is that the magazine does not fit the rifle. That’s why they are actually taped onto the guy...to hold it in place for the photo.
RE: taped to keep it onto a weapon that it does not fit...
So like everything else in life now, this photo scene is fake. Only the women’s hate is genuine.
