In press conferences that have been held since 12/14, the Connecticut State Police have identified all of the weapons seized from the crime scene at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

"To eliminate any confusion or misinformation, we will again describe and identify the weapons seized at the school crime scene," Connecticut State Police Spokesman Lt J. Paul Vance said Friday, January 18, via a press release.

Seized inside the school were the following: a Bushmaster .223 caliber-- model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round clips; a Glock 10 mm handgun; and a Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun.

Seized from the suspect’s car in parking lot was a Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun.

The case remains under investigation.

There were weapons used in the investigation?

BTTT

[Red Steel]

LoL.

[Don Corleone]

What? No Bazookas, 50 cal. water cooled machine guns or hand held rockets?

[Da Bilge Troll]

Gotta make ‘em talk somehow!

When i read “clip” instead of “magazine” i knew I was gonna get some real deets..... Jesus....

[hiredhand]

Never in my life have I seen a 30 round clip. I've seen 5 and 8 round clips. In fact, a 30 round clip would serve no functional purpose whatsoever on something like the AR-15 platform.

The AR-15 utilizes a box magazine, and while ammunition is sometimes packaged onto 30 round stripper clips, these only serve to assist in rapid reloading of the box magazine with an associated and essential loading tool.

Our illustrious MSM and other experts need to get their terms AND facts straight. :-)

[Sacajaweau]

We're all assuming that the one with the 30 shots was the one that killed. And he would have gotten into a second clip.

But I thought I remember the kills were with the Glock. Could be wrong. Memory going...

How many spent shells were found? Thought I remember them saying some kids had multiple shots....like 5 or 6....

[mountainlion]

The M1Garand is the only gun that I know of that uses a clip and 30 rounds will not fit in the gun. Are these real police? I would hate to have them investigate anything. I have seen some 10 round stripper clips but these are just a holder and the rounds must be removed form the clip to be used as no gun that I know of fires out of a stripper clip.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

a 10mm glock? they exist (Glock G20) but that is an odd weapon.

[Sir Napsalot]

I assumed the written descriptoin was directly quoted from the CT State Police report, not journalist’ rendition to make the d^mb@ss general public understand technical jargon?

[Theoria]

Blame the press release, yeah the actually call them clips.

STATE POLICE IDENTIFY WEAPONS USED IN SANDY HOOK INVESTIGATION; INVESTIGATION CONTINUES

[ColdOne]

the sheriff said during a news conference the killer had 2 15 round (i forget if he said clip or mag) TAPED TOGETHER.

[hiredhand]

I should HOPE that the state police didn't use this terminology.

[Iron Munro]

I thought initial reports stated the Glock and the Sig-Sauer pistols were used in the killing and the Bushmaster was found in the car, unfired.

[jjotto]

Shame on you for posting this! We have a group a FReepers who have conclusively proven that none of these weapons was used except maybe the pistols./s

[Noumenon]

Yes, they do exist, and it’s a mighty fine weapon. I’ve had mine for almost two decades now. It’s a fight stopper.

[TigersEye]

Seized from the suspect’s car in parking lot was a Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun.

That's funny, in the video it looked exactly like an Izhmash Canta-12 12 ga shotgun. What are they trying to pull here? /s

[hiredhand]

I forgot that SKS stripper clips DO actually hold 10 rounds. But the integral magazine of the weapon itself contains the rounds once loaded. Then the stripper clip can be discarded... unlike the M-1 Garand, which MUST employ the en-bloc clip to function. It ejects the clip once empty.

The MSM are idiots.
