FL: Rare, Robber With AR-15 or Facsimile Has Poor Muzzle Discipline(video)


Very interesting series of photos from the security camera make for a choppy video.   What is clear is that the robber has virtually no tactical sense, no backup, little situational awareness, and focuses on the money.

If anyone there had a firearm and felt threatened, this guy would have been done.   Notice that in the last two or three images, he has his hand off the pistol grip, muzzle pointed away from anyone, and eyes focused on the money. 

The video is grainy enough that I cannot be sure if what he is holding is a real AR-15 type clone or a facsimile.    Given that he has very little muzzle discipline, I suspect that it is a facsimile.

I cannot but wonder, given that this happened in Florida, that this fellow does not have a long career ahead of him.

    Thanks for the information, but the rifles are very common and popular in the U.S.

    I believe their criminal use is quite rate, so it makes the news.
