Its boomers that love ARs in my experience. Somehow a hunting rifle with a caliber used in wars for decades and decades isn’t manly enough or scary enough (even though they understand most delineations for “assault” rifles are quite contrived). They want to be “prepared” for all the fantasies they have in their head and don’t understand how violent encounters happen beyond what they’ve seen from Bruce Willis’ choreography. They want the commodity and what it does for their identity more than they want security, utility, or whatever.
The best way to counter violent situations is to avoid them, not to follow whatever your favorite gun magazine says.
Gas guns have their purpose. 5.56 is a great round with solid performance. You could have easily made this same shot with an AR. Having gone to competitions, everyone in every age bracket basically had an AR, unless they were in the long-range division (500 yards+).
Also the ammo is cheap, the parts are cheap, the mags are cheap, the furniture is cheap, the lights and optics can be cheap-ish, and you can pop off multiple rounds quickly, as needed. ARs are a solid platform.
And in my experience, it’s the boomers / fudds who like their bolt guns.
Yeah it’s supposed to be a pic of the gun they found on campus. It’s a pretty common rifle design for hunting. The only thing is some people might go with a different caliber because .30-06 is pretty overkill as you can take down an elk or moose up to 300 yards with .308
It was high-powered because he was scoped in for 30 seconds so he had a fully charged shot.
They were using the Bazaar Bargain and had like 20 head shots already
A generic hunting rifle in .30-06.

Now to make a similar looking rifle in Escape From Tarkov
Everyone and their brother uses the AR platform, the boomer gunman showing these kids how to do assassination in style.

You can take my bolties and my lever actions from my cold blistered hands
The ping sound is like a warm hug from a very violent friend.
Lmao chuds on twitter were claiming there were pro-trans and anti-fascist markings on the gun. What liars.
And there we have it. A professional sniper rifle, complete with gun part and scope part. Only the finest marksmen can wield such a weapon.
Is this from something?
Pic is from the NY Post.
Oh gotcha it’s the alleged gun front he shooting?
Looks like the shooter just bought it and brought it over from the store lol
Or the cops wanted to set something up, just took the gun into the woods behind the store and snapped a pic haha
