ASSAULT WEAPON? Fail. Bad. - Video: Magical Rifle

Slowed this video down and blew it up to take a closer look...

The weapon is not an AR of any variant - charging handle on right side causes shell to eject.

Discussion with blown up picts, etc. can be seen here.

I tend to agree with one of the posters at the above link.

Looks like a Fiberforce stock which apparently is made for the Marlin, 10/22, and the AK/SKS type weapons. Quick profile glimpse as officer is turning weapon reveals an AK/SKS similarity.

Some are arguing for a shotgun due to the appearance of the shell when it ejects. Note two things... 1 - the man repeatedly pulls the charging handle at a rapid rate. More indicative of an AK/SKS, particularly the way in which he is holding the weapon. (left hand over the top, initially) 2- the round ejected may not be nearly as large as it appears - a Brass round under intense lighting (as in the video) will reflect, appearing brighter/larger.

One argument in favor of shotgun may be what appears to be a stock sleeve (for holding shotgun shells) - However, it may just be the slits in the Fiberforce stock (poor image)

I have had a shotgun resting in a gun rack since 1978. No matter how I threaten it, or curse at it or even throw it around, it has never once shot me.

Now, if I deliberately put a bullet in it, I deliberately cock it and I deliberately pull the trigger, I may be dead or in the hospital.

When Guns/tools are by evil to their ends it is the deliberate act of the evil doer. Not vice versa..
