556 what bullet? A 45 grain varmint bullet will perform decidedly different than a 75 BTHP or a Hornady 55grn GMX copper bullet...

Why?

I heard AK not AR or SKS. I couldn't have said it was a 74.

Does not sound like either.

The first 5 shots I just heard on CNN sounded like an AK.

A little disappointing to see about an order of magnitude less pieces than I was hoping for when I clicked the link, but thanks anyway to leakers and posters.

If that's the rifle it seems to have sustained little damage from the explosion.

Micah, on the other hand, didn't fare as well.

The 5.45 is infamous for it extreme wounding effects cause by the wildly tumbling bullet.

That's what the .223 for the first M-16s did, till the g0vt determined that it was inhumane.

But the local ME stated that was not enough of him left to test for meth or any other drugs. Something smells rotten here...

They made sure he couldn't talk, didn't they?

Definitely not a tin foil conspiracy theorist, but someone brought up a good question on the internet yesterday. Could a PFC Combat Engineer, kicked out of the military for sexual misconduct, become a trained sniper able to take out 11 Dallas cops? Possibly, if none of them had protective armor and bum rushed his position. Occum’s razor would tell us that it is more likely that multiple assailants were involved...

If that’s a post explosion scope I gotta get me one. Its pristine.

I thought the same thing, but about how there was no debris on the rifle but a ton of the body.
