Title: Looking for a legitimate news source link for trunk gun I.D. ???
Post by: Tyler Durden on December 29, 2012, 05:57:50 AM
You all have probably seen the grainey night time helo video of the "long gun" taken out of the trunk of the car:


From other gun forum websites and youtube, other people have identified it as a Saiga 12 shotgun.  If you look really closely, you can see the mag on the floor of the trunk and a gray colored shotgun shell come out of the ejection port.

Since the media seemed so quick to jump on the "assault rifle Bushwacker" mantra and Glock and Sig spiel, I am perplexed that the media hasn't come right out and said "It is XYZ shotgun" then play some Youtube videos of people shooting their full automatic SBS'ed Tromix converted Saiga 12's.

So, have you heard of an I.D. of the " long gun " found in the trunk?

Can you post a link?

I could say more but I will leave it at that.

To me it looks 1100-ish but could have been a Siaga.

Ya gotta look for the mag beneath the shotgun and setting on the trunk's floor.

Heck!  At this point I'd be happy to find any legitimate news link that says it was a shotgun instead of the vague terms like "weapon" or "long gun".
