This current article sucks on numerous criteria. Speculation, misinformation, BS quotes "Oates said a piece of equipment in Holmes’ elaborate gear — he wouldn’t specify which piece — struck one of the responding officers as irregular." ??? What could it be? A steely dan?
Of course, par for the DA media, the article contains common references to: assault rifle, high powered, stockpile, "clips", 'ballistic leggings" (?).
I draw two conclusions: 1) the 100 round drum mag is worthless. 2) Quiet introverted doctoral students just got nervous. |

I have two AR's but only one is completed and it's not in 5.56. If they made a drum in 5.45 for AR, then I'd get one.

Interesting choice in caliber. Not to hijack the thread thought you'd like this:

| for a considerable sum less, you could get 60 or 100 round surefire mags which are reportedly much more reliable than beta mags. |

Ok, not to sound like an "anti", but are we REALLY scrutinizing this monster's choice of weapon/caliber/equipment? Seriously?

We're just taking this totally apart. And we're doing a MUCH better job than any reporter/comentator.
GREAT CHART MEDIC68!
The 5.45 is looking better and better! |
