Dallas sniper used an SKS according to CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/08/us/philando-castile-alton-sterling-protests/index.html?adkey=bn

SKS is a hood rifle. They mainly carry handguns, shotguns. AKs and SKSs for when it's full gang war time.
What I want to know is how we went from four active shooters in a team down to one "lone gunman" who "wasn't part of a group".
>>30551827
Yep.
>>30551928
The media always makes shit up when they start reporting that sort of thing. Then when it turns out "A dozen men in body armor with belt fed, fully automatic assault rifles" was just one autist with a shitty carbine they start glorifying the dude by plastering his face and name all over the airwaves without missing a beat.
>>30551374
why are they still calling him a sniper? He was on the ground shooting at ranges that looked to be 50-100yds from that one video.
was there actually a second shooter at an elevated position or was that the same guy after changing positions?

Because all your other guns are shit.
But no really, for a carbine in 7.62 x 39 it's REALLY accurate. But it's not a 'sniper' memedia is just trying to get clicks.

Y'know the only way she can do that, is if you agree to a ban. You're also aware that the second amendment isn't about hunting right?

You can't use sniper & SKS in the same sentence and not sound retarded.
Pretty sure real snipers don't plan on getting caught
Fuck, I guess I'm a retard
>>30551860
You say that but command type economies typically have the highest rates of growth, problem is in sustaining that rate of growth. The Chinese managed to do this successfully because of their population expanding at an equivalent rate to their economy. They have almost caught the US in total GDP despite the fact true industrialization has only been going on since the 1950s
>>30553039
The German media reported it using a better word - "Heckenschütze," literally "Hedge Shooter," meaning an "ambusher with a gun" - but we don't have one that works in a similar context in the English language.
>>30553039
Maybe getting caught was part of his plan.
Or perhaps you're wondering why someone would shoot point blank before sniping with an SKS.
>>30553017
Not as far as I know. It has wood furniture so most antis think it's a "hunting rifle" and not a baby killer 9,001. Antis don't know anything about guns.
>>30553091

Pretty sure the media isn't afraid of spouting retarded gun memes and looking retarded to the gun knowledgeable crowd.
>>30551785
Well, it would be.
His longest shots were still under 150 meters. Not exactly 'sniping'
>>30553105
Germans love efficiency. Well the good ones do.
>>30553082
Yea not really, most of this growth happened in the 80s when clinton made deals with china making it cheaper to import from them than to make US. The idea was the US and China would both benefit and china would become a US ally.
The Chinese growth is entirely American capitalism, as it was before worker rights.
The command economy elements come into play now, when the Chinese authorities force stock owners to not exchange stocks when the market falls hard.

He started out sniping from the college balcony, and then exited onto the street, where he continued to shoot cops.
>>30552688
Any rifle can be used to snipe, moron. What is he, a marksman? He shot from a balcony and remained unseen for the whole time he was shooting from there. That's sniping.

>>30553270
http://www dot tapco.com/section922r/
>>30553290
One of the requirements of sniping is at a great distance, idiot.
Also he mostly runned and gunned most of the cops down. Very few where actually sniped.
>>30553361
>One of the requirements of sniping is at a great distance, idiot.
Uh not really, it was a full city block so that's a decent enough distance. Similar to the way JFK was shot, and that was certainly a sniper attack.
Look at this video of the initial sniper shooting. This is before he left his position on the balcony. The police cars in the street are where the initial officers were shot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAzy37yzodk
>>30553361
Uh, but what if it is close to me? Why can't I shoot it when it is close?
>>30553428
That's not sniping, granted the definition of sniping is loose as fuck.
While he wasn't spraying and praying, he was firing in controlled bursts not in single calculated shots.
>>30553204
Wait, why would removing a non American part make it non compliant? Wouldn't it make it extra compliant?

Sure, early on, because they steal every bit of wealth from their own people, and, if possible, from other countries as well (see: eastern Europe).
The Nazis would have wrecked their own economy within another decade or two with their insane mismanagement and high-level backstabbing. The Communists lasted longer, because they stole more wealth and enslaved more foreigners (and held on to them).
Every centralized government, no matter how much it preaches "liberty, equality, fraternity", always devolves into an inefficient quasi-feudal mess, after which, it usually falls. From Chinese Dynasties to modern-day communist "democratic socialist republics" like Best Korea, highly-centralized governments always fail to sustain economic growth on their own past the first generation or two.

Has this been confirmed by a reputable news source? CNN wouldn't know a SKS from a DShK
If there was only the one murderer, he clearly had a banana magazine when he charged that cop around the pillar; how hard is it to replace the fixed magazine on a SKS?
>>30555487
He's right, you know.
>>30555579
>how hard is it to replace the fixed magazine on a SKS?
Exactly how new to guns are you?
>>30555584
No, he's not.
And neither are you.
>>30555579
sks-m and d models accept ak mags, all others can be modded to accept duckbill mags or higher cap fixed mags.
>>30555579
>how hard is it to replace the fixed magazine on a SKS?
unlatch magazine first.
put the safety on, take screwdriver and press into the base of the rear of the trigger guard until it pops out.
remove fixed magazine.
Replace trigger pack
attatch crapco/aftermarket magazine of your choice.
Its slightly more difficult to change mags on this configuration than an AK or AR however.
You need to pull back on the mag catch with a good ammount of force as opposed to pressing a button or pushing forward on a lever.
>One of the deadliest attacks against police in recent memory
>It wasn't done with a Assaulting Killer-15
>>30552456
more accurate than a stamped AK?
more accurate than an AR-15?
>>30555636
not much of a modification, you just remove the fixed magazine and insert the duckbill mag
don't know if the shooter used duckbills or what yet tho
>>30555747
some take a little fitting
>>30555612
then pray tell, what is this magical "Sniper rifle"
>>30553204
Actually no it isn't. I moved here with one and they requested a picture showing I'd removed the grenade launcher.
>>30551911
Did he have extendos!?
>>30554561
OH SHIT
>>30555356
No it's not. AK's are banned, not SKS.
SKS isn't an assault weapon so not even close to being on the list. It has a fixed magazine.
>>30555639
>You need to pull back on the mag catch with a good ammount of force as opposed to pressing a button or pushing forward on a lever.
In addition to this the bolt must be locked back, which is a problem with the shittier detachable magazines as they won't do that reliably. Crapco magazines don't have that problem but really aren't that reliable either (I have one of their 20 round magazines and it will cause jams occasionally due to not feeding rounds fast enough if I load it over 10 rounds). Overall I would say that going with the fixed 10 round magazine and getting good at reloading with stripper clips would be more effective than the shitty detachable magazines that require 2 or more hands to swap.
>>30555579
CBS is reporting it too. Sort of. They made up some weird name for it....."SKS Assault Weapon". I never heard of one of those but I do have an SKS.

The news needs to clarify if it was modified and what type of magazine was placed on it.
In Virginia I bought a SKS with a 30 round duck bill magazine and the FFL said the magazine classified the rifle as an "assault firearm."
All I needed was an extra form of ID to buy it.

In most video games, you can't hit with irons past 100m because of the poor fov.
Red Orchestra gives you a zoomed view that lets you hit farther (150m). So he thinks it's "RO shit"
What he doesn't know is that the zoomed view in RO is closer to the real life view, so 150m in real life isn't that impressive.

Doesn't sks have a longer barrel then akm? Doesn't that help with accuracy
>>30566823
A bit, but both weapons are generally limited by the quality of ammunition generally available. An SKS fed Tulammo will only shoot Tulammo grade accuracy.
Beyond that, it's a semi-auto built with commie mass production grade tolerances. It wasn't meant to be a precision weapon. Just good enough for the proletariat to dump lead towards the imperialists and keep their heads down while the pros flank around. It's good at that, but forcing it into a role it doesn't fit is poorly advised.
>>30566695
You must be out of date, they are no longer targeting merely "assault rifles" (which, as we know, aren't) but semiautomatic rifles in general.
Mainly because the ill-informed zealots don't realize (or don't want to) what semi-automatic means. They think semi-automatic == machine gun.
Then when you point this out, they usually have an emotional fit, babbling irrelevant drivel about the NRA, the current folk demon of the liberal elites.
>>30566884
it baffles me that they think the nra has this mystical power to sway all laws, I mean yeah it has influence and is a lobbying organization but it organizes people who advocate for their own views and represents the views of its own members so it is representing the will of many people.

>>30555375
Yes, 'any' rifle can be a 'sniper rifle'.
No, no it can't.
If you really think that, try shooting a legitimate sub-moa rifle with match grade ammo, and then go back to trying to group within 4" at 100 yards with your shit-tier bargain 'sniper rifle'. gtfo.
>>30561523
whats gain-twist rifling? Never heard of that before.
>>30567023
The end of the barrel has progressively tighter twist rates than the start.
It's based on the idea that it's easier to start the bullet at a slower twist, then gradually increase it towards the end. So the barrel may start at 1:12, then finish at 1:8. This allows for the effect of a smaller twist with a heavier projectile, which hypothetically means a more accurate rifle when using slow burning powders, as was common in the 30's and 40's.
However, it's expensive to make barrels like that, and accuracy suffers greatly when fudds cut the barrel down to make the ideal deer huntin' rifle. Hence the poor reputation of the Carcano in later years.
