    I wonder if it really was an Ak-47, the media often assume every weapon thats not a handgun is an Ak. At least they caught most of them.

      It's always an AK, isn't it? Something tells me it's just another rifle that isn't a .22 or bolt action, just like how in some regions any carbonated non alcoholic beverage is referred to as a Coke.

          What? Didn't they know about the 1000' rule? Heathens.
          "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......Cicero

            If only they thought of all the rules they have to break in order to commit a crime...

              im surprised the 7.62 rounds didn't get under police armor and no officer is injured. That's good news though.

                  Dunno nothin' about rifles. Does this look like an AK-47?



                  And Austin PD's SWAT team was there too.

                    Don't trust the media. I have read articles in the paper about incidents that I wrote the police report for that were completely inaccurate. That being said AK's do make there way here. A lot of the ones I have seen recovered are illegal imports from china (selective fire).

                      it can be a variant of an ak. but to call it a 47 is a stretch.

                        Everything's an "assault rifle". Just like the guy that shot at people at a church picnic or whatevers .22 an "AR-15 assault rifle"

                          Well, I may very well be wrong, but that Looks like an Ak -74 (judging by the magazine) with the buttstock removed and what appears to be no dust cover over the receiver, and the sling jury-rigged in some odd place on the receiver.

                              Yes, it does. The magazine looks like a 7.62x39 but the angle the pic was taken at makes it look a little less curved like a '74 mag.

                              No dustcover.

                              No stock or grip. (Quite slim and concealable w/out a magazine in it)

                              And it's milled.

                              AK-47 would be an accurate way to describe that weapon.



                              I'm just glad no real people got hurt. It could have been some bad ban propaganda had a LEO or bystander got hit.
