If it were a actual evil black rifle they would be all over it!], but I have looked at the video clip of the cops busting into his room, the one where they highlite his firearms and the backpack laying on the floor, and it sure looks like a GSG 22 cal AK knockoff to me. Yes it looks evil but it actually is a over priced, inacurate, underpowered squirrel gun.

I don't know why it took a few days to release the gun type in this incident either. According to this new article, the rifle is a Magnum.
Along with Seevakumaran's body, police found a .45-caliber handgun, .22-caliber Magnum tactical rifle and four homemade explosive devices, as well as about 1,000 rounds of ammunition, according to UCF police.

The difference in the bullets in your picture upthread is significant. I don't support bans to keep sane-minded responsible persons from owning semi-automatics, and I think as much as possible should be done to prevent unbalanced people like Seevakumaran from getting ahold of ANY gun. Wouldn't want to be trapped in a hallway with that guy bearing any gun or ammo. His kind of mind is dangerous, regardless of the weapons of choice.
So far, nothing to indicate that this guy had any mental illness or felony convictions; just that he was trying to lose weight, his dorm mates annoyed him, and he liked to play video games. Pretty standard campus stuff, though he was 30 ys old. Seevakumaran may not be someone who would have been weeded out by a background check. Still no word on how he got the guns, ammo and explosives.
I am really curious about the explosives. Haven't seen any more on that. The article states that he liked to work in the chemistry lab. Wonder if the explosives were functional and how powerful they were? Crazies with bombs are even scarier than crazies with guns, to me. If they get one powerful one off successfully, they can take down so many people and structures without getting caught.
It irritates me when the media releases photos and doesn't indicate whether it's the specific gun or gun type tied to the story or just a stock photo. Here it is anyway.
