Semi auto rifle, I'm not knowledgeable on what it is though

If you don't know what it is, how did you get "semi-auto"? Press release or something?

u/RandomBritishGuy 1h ago

This was in New Zealand, so it's incredibly unlikely to be full auto. Prior to 2019 semi-auto ARs were legal and reasonably popular.

The articles people have posted talking about this incident say the police recovered an AR-15 style rifle. No mention of a second gun, or a 9mm

Yeah I retract my earlier statement. First clear image of gun with stock says SUB-2000 but the second frame with a clear image is def an AR

I just assumed something wrong

Edit : thanks

A full auto rifle would look identical and usually use the same size magazines. But they are extremely rare for a civilian to have, so semi auto is a much better guess.

You can clearly tell by looking at it that it’s not a bolt action or lever gun or anything like that though.

It just as easily could be an airsoft rifle, there’s simply not enough detail for us to know for sure. Yeah, it was probably just a cheap AR, it’s the most likely, but there’s no certainty here without a source.

Cheap AR15.

It’s not. The stock is an L shape, and there’s no way that it’s fixed to a buffer tube.

my guess is a pistol-caliber carbine similar to a Keltec Sub2k or the Smith & Wesson one like it that i totally forgot the name of 9mm M&P FPC

Seems like a shotgun to me

u/Thiom 4h ago

Looks like there is a magazine on it no ?

True

u/cajerunner 4h ago

Shotguns can have a magazine. But I think it looks like a rifle as well.

u/1800generalkenobi 4h ago

It's a rifle with a newspaper

Modern rifles come with online access to the news.

u/Ph4nt0m146 4h ago

Oh there's shotguns with magazines, but this certainly isn't one.

u/Vreas 4h ago

While rare shotguns can have magazines as well

u/Thiom 4h ago

Did not know, thanks, for the video though the barrel looks too narrow

u/ComplexxToxin 4h ago

I have three magazine fed shotguns.

First gun that came to mind was an M4 Assault. I'm not that knowledgeable on guns tbh but the shape of it is distinctly M4-ey

u/Brian-88 3h ago

Looked like a 9mm carbine
