This week, it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/usnews.nbcnews.com\/_news\/2013\/08\/21\/20118311-authorities-georgia-shooting-suspect-had-nearly-500-rounds-of-ammunition?lite\">NBC<\/a> that saw one of these rifles at the brief school shooting in Georgia yesterday;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A photo of [Michael Brandon Hill, the shooter] holding a rifle, believed to be the same one used in Tuesday&#8217;s shooting, was found on Hill&#8217;s cellphone, Davis said. <\/p>\n<p>The rifle was a .762-caliber AK-47-style weapon, manufactured by Romarm\/Cugar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty upset that Big Gun would create this rifle and not let me shoot one. But I guess the most fantastic part of the story is that Shooter Hill was carrying 500 rounds of ammunition for the gun. He must be The Hulk. The bullet is half again the size of a .50 caliber, so 500 rounds is quite a load.<\/p>\n<p>Um, media guys, it&#8217;s 7.62 millimeter, or if you&#8217;re married to calibers, that&#8217;s a .308 caliber. Hill was still pretty sturdy for carrying 500 rounds of .308. And of course, i can make fun of it all because no one was hurt &#8211; no one was hurt because good guys with guns arrived on the scene in time. And the gunman was more interested in being famous than being a killer. Good thing he was in a gun free zone or someone might have gotten hurt. And it looks like he might have stolen the gun from a friend.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to H1 for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might remember last week that the Washington Times reported that one of the Fast &#038; &hellip; <a title=\"Another .762 caliber rifle found\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=37188\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Another .762 caliber rifle found<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns","category-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37188\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
