This is the (cough) 'AK-47 Assault Rifle with 30 round "clip"' both the DBM and THE POLICE said the perp used...

Funny thing is, it AIN'T an AK-47 and it doesn't have a 30 round magazine.

From the spike bayonet I think its Chinese ('Chinese Type 56s were in production from 1956-71. Rifles serial number 9,000,000 (1965) and higher had the spike bayonet') and it has the standard 10 round internal magazine.

So chalk up one more LIE for the Drive By Media, but you' think and hope the Cops would know better. All I heard from them on TV (the Chief I believe) was 'AK-47 Assault Rifle'.

Bottom line is, why are the police stating the weapon was an SKS despite mall security tapes showing the shooter with an AK? Surely the police know the difference?

Or are we misinterpreting the video captures?
