Why is it called Squad Automatic Weapon? Just one per Squad?

Interesting, but for 5-600 yards, a SAW provides that extra umph. I don't know, just from my experience, it sounds like a SAW. I actually hope I'm wrong, because if he did, that just reaffirms how sick this fricker was. A M249 can do some serious damage.

Same 5.56 round as 99% of the ARs out there. I hope it is a SAW. Proves he got it illegally and hopefully we can crack down on illegal border crossings and prevent any future massacres.

Also, I saw some people calculating the distance and height earlier and it was closer to 900 yards, if I remember correctly.

For what it's worth, both a .308 and .223 caliber weapons were used accordingly to some reports I heard on the radio.

An AK74 can, but man there are so many 7.62 platforms, all the major manufacturers make a military grade option.

Where'd this come from? That optic is pointing the wrong way.

He was in the room for 4 days. Plenty of time to bring it all up in suitcases

The green tipped 5.56mm round was developed for the saw in order to have more energy down range. It was mistakenly called armor piercing when Obama pushed his anti gun efforts.
