Some people on the internet claims the shot-down was friendly fire, citing the lack of smoke trail from a MANPAD and no IS video of the launch. Their theory is that both choppers was firing unguided rockets, and the rear chopper hit the first one in the rear end.
If so, that would be amazingly bad coordination and discipline. Soldiers though :shrug:

Was wondering when this would be the case. You can't throw a rock in Texas without hitting a 'tactical instruction' place where mostly bored white people go play dress up. Guess he got his money's worth.

Yeah I think so. Odd, I figured he would use an ar15 type. I wonder if the AK style weapon was a political statement.

Just cheaper. SKS. And I'm kind of surprised at the condition his body is in. I expected a bigger mess.

Haha. So a lot of articles heard that he was using a "sks rifle" and then went to google, found the first wiki page link, and wrote the article as if he was using this.



They even went so far to explain that this had a weird clip and could only handle 10 rounds or some poo poo like the old russian WWII one.

i was gonna say thats def some ak variant. an sks receiver would be a milled, not stamped/pressed.

the receiver is clearly some sort of AK, the fore-end/handguard marks it pretty clearly as a "civilianized" AK, either a vepr or a saiga

AKs can be had with milled receivers, but they're a bit of a niche thing.

Also yeah that forend is decidedly VEPR. Pretty far from a fixed mag SKS.

Kinda surprised there's that much debris on the dude, guess I wasn't expecting much more than a shitload of concrete dust but that looks more like a whole floor fell on him.

Fair enough. It's been so long since I shot or owned a Russian gun that they're all basically AK's to me unless someone tells me otherwise.

I gave the image to a gun nerd.

He is thinking it is a saiga because of the pin placements. The pistol grip is a mod that he has done before and is apparently annoying to do.

The UK will have a new Prime Minister on Wednesday. Theresa May, the ex Home secretary, will be replacing Cameron as no one else want's the job.

She's going to have an extremely tough time trying to placate the pro-Brexit camp now.

troop cap of 4,647 in Iraq...FML limit of 8,400 by the end of the year in Afghanistan...I give it until the end of 2017 before we've flip-flopped troop numbers (again) and we're back to having more forces in Iraq than Afghanistan
