Anyone else see that dumbass FBI on MSNBC or FOX with a picture/printout of the three .223 weapon "candidates" thought to be used by the "sniper."  Three pictures one on top of the other, the middle was a SKS.  Where did they get that.  A truly rare weapon.

No no no,


The 5.56x45mm SKS rifle is the preferred weapon of Gecko_45, the uber mall ninja.   He finally was cut loose from his security position and his fragile mental state shattered into pieces.   Taking his Special Weapons modified SKS he decided to let loose on America.

Sure it's not a 5.45x39 (.20 calibre) conversion?  I know the 5.45 is gaining since the AK-74 series came across the pond, so I'm wondering about conversion to other ComBlock rifles...

Thinking along those same lines, the terminal effects of the 5.45 round would be similar to the 5.56 - and the wounds nearly indistinguishable from each other...
