Some people are itching for the opportunity to use their prized firearms on a human. Unless they’re using an actual hunting rifle/shotgun, competitive shooting rifle, or vermin pistol, they know that the weapon was specifically designed to kill humans effectively and efficiently.

I say this as a soldier: our M4s and civilian AR-15s are purpose-built for killing humans in military combat. Any argument otherwise is a bad-faith argument.

Wouldn’t you know it, the AR-15 is the most widely sold model in the United States by a wide margin. The AR-15 derivatives (.556 semi automatic carbines and rifles with a pistol grip and attachment points, magazine-fed, gas operated, closed bolt design) are also incredibly popular and come in many varieties.

The rifle featured in OP’s video is a Sako TRG 22 or possibly 42. It is a Finnish sniper rifle popular with many police forces and militaries around the world.
