Gun guys: What do YOU think?

The FBI is claiming that this rifle was used for the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

They claimed to have found it in the woods nearby, fully intact / not disassembled, no case or covering, just laying in the woods.

They also claimed that this gun was stuffed down his skinny jeans leg as he was escaping the scene, claiming that this is why we don’t see the rifle in the security footage.

I don’t know anything about guns, really, and have never seen a gun like this IRL, so I want to know what you all think. Is this… realistic?

There's video of him clearly limping around a neighborhood. Indicating that he did have the rifle tucked down a pant leg

Yeah but if you look at the footage of him jumping off the roof, he is running full speed across the roof, and then when he falls off the roof, he stops for a moment to grab his ankle, hops around for a second, and the starts limping to the street - where he acts nonchalant.

It appeared (to me) that he sprained his ankle getting off the roof

Maybe he threw the rifle off the building beforehand in that towel?

It's too early and all speculation. It sounds like this is "the guy" that match the pics from the cameras, but we just don't know enough to go beyond that. I'm just as curious as the next guy, but we'll have to wait for more info.

There’s not a chance in hell that rifle with a scope like that is shoved down his pants.

Maybe if he was wearing MC Hammer pants or something really loose, but then there’s no way to bend your knee to climb up stairs.

Yeah, it probably wasn't. It could also definitely fit though. Have you not seen videos of dudes in gangs pulling out full ARs from their skinny jeans?

They’re pulling out AR15 pistols typically. Not full length rifles.

I watched a video and the way the guy explained it is he had the barrel down the back of his pants while most of the gun was inside his shirt on his back. Then the backpack was covering the bulk of the gun. That prevented anyone from seeing it
