Ok I saw this pic and instantly noticed that it appears the magazine in the rifle is in backwards and seems longer than normal for what I would assume to be a 30 round AR mag. Is this a new style magazine for AR's? Would being a high cap mag explain the shape and seemingly extra length?

I always thought banana mags were shaped that way cause the back end of a bullet or shell is wider ...

Yup. It's in backwards. I guess we know that she doesn't have a round chambered, either!

... and now that I think about it that is some pretty shitty logic.

Why would sombody make a magazine where that is even possible?

There is probably an ex-military guy who scored higher on the civil service exam they passed over for her.....

WTF... who does that? Seriously?!

Why would sombody make a magazine where that is even possible?
Because no one could possibly be that stu...
Ummm, nevermind...

Does that mean the blunt end comes out first? Is that better in some situations?

Why would sombody make a magazine where that is even possible?

They didn't. There is a sort of guide rail on the back of m16/ar mags that fits a groove in the magazine well. Turning the mag backwards makes it instantly unable to fit into the well. She must have worked like a ************ to get it wedged in there the few cm she did. But it is obvious that she was never given any training at all on the rifle and frankly must be a bit retarded to not notice that the bullets faced towards her in the mag, the mag never got close to the chamber, and the obvious it doesn't even remotely fit. Having pistol training she should be familiar with how magazines fit into weapons.

Yikes..the way shes shouldering it doesn't speak well either. I hope someone is getting some remedial training after that photo got out.

That photo is several years old. Other fun internet photo pastimes:

Google and find the H und K ad where some photographer put the cartridges in a handgun magazine backwards . . . .

Or look for photos of various police agencies with their high-speed-low-drag M4geries (many of which are real M4s) with optics mounted backwards. Eotechs are the easiest to spot. Much more common than you'd think.

I once bought a gun from an FFL in Galesburg, IL who swore that the chief of police in a local town (maybe East Peoria? I think so) brought in her service Beretta and explained that she'd been having trouble chambering a round, so she'd been carrying with the magazine loaded and chamber empty. Why anyone would carry a pistol she thought wouldn't chamber a round is beyond me, but she removed the magazine before handing it over and, you guessed it, she had loaded at least ten rounds in a Beretta 92 magazine backwards and had been carrying the pistol that way for a couple of weeks.
I've never tried this with a Beretta magazine, but I'm sure it could be done . . . . and after all, this wasn't just any dumb cop, she was the Chief.

On top of the mag, that chickenwing just hurts my eyes.

Lol at her 1940s rifle technique with her elbow sticking out. Someone get her a Garand.

She should get 10 lashes and her sgt should get 20.

She is clearly untrained on the weapon but the worse sin is that someone put that assault rifle in her hands.
