That makes me much more willing to believe it's terrists.
I should've suspected this when I heard they were using wolf ammo, though. No self-respecting marksman would put that stuff through an AR :P

And i would bet he's using FMJ M193 ball rounds...the same as the AR..thats why the reporter "experts" were jumping on the AR black assault band wagon early.

Mark Furman on Fox News mentioned that the gun was reported to be a ChiCom version of the AK-74 in .223. I heard that also.
This and the reports that the sniper may be darker skinned, Hispanic or Middle Eastern but not African, are making me glad that the spy plane is joining the hunt.
Can anyone comment on the capabilities of the spy plane that is being deployed in the search?
