I wonder what this was a misdirection for? Maybe to move our attention away from the assassin’s sniper’s nest.
Curious… I’ve only ever seen 10, 20, 30, and 50 rd mags for the AR platform?
And bullets as well, boxes of 20, 25, or 50+
27 rounds? Couldn’t get those last 3 in the magazine?
Smell that? It’s fishy.
@Joe Blow — Maybe he needed three more rounds to finish of that wascally wabbit, and then forgot to top off.
…finish OFF…
Grateful to know that the family called the police. This could have been another avoidable tragedy for innocent people who don’t expect to be killed at the airport.
But someone should scrutinize this guy’s parole officer and try to figure out how he got a gun, especially if he is so well known to area police.
…if he’d have had a duskier skin tone the cops would have been ordered to wait until he killed someone before doing anything…
27 rounds are done to prevent a gun from jamming from what I’ve heard.
Probably from whoever he got it from.
If you have a 30 round mag and you store it with 30 rounds you’re an idiot.
That spring being fully compressed all the time will make it weak and cause feeding problems possibly even jamming.
Not a desired outcome when you need it.
Not just 30 but any mag if fully loaded all the time can cause issues.
If you need mags fully loaded suggest buying many and switching them out often to alleviate problems.
