Santa Monica gunman

Post by genlock »

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police in Santa Monica, Calif., said that a suspected gunman carried the following weapons, ammunition and equipment during Friday's rampage that left four people dead and several others wounded. The items were found at several crime scenes and many were displayed at a news conference on Saturday.

— AR-15 assault-style rifle. Good choice.

Spare upper receiver for an assault-style rifle.
I am at a loss as to why anyone would carry this. Just receiver, no bolt, operating handle, nothing.
This is something carried by an ordnance, light maintenance detachment.

.44 revolver. Cowboy type, hand ejector. Hard to load in a hurry.

— Duffel bag with magazines that had about 1,300 rounds of ammunition.
1300 rounds of anything but .22 would be kinda heavy for an assault(mobile) ammo load. OK for static (holed up) defense tho.

— Ballistic vest. Not bulletproof but black and mean looking.

— Knee pads. This I understand as an old guy.



Anyone have any ideas why he would carry this strange stuff?
