Re: At least eight killed at Russian university
They normally refer to them as "less-lethal" these days. Someone probably got sued for saying it was non-lethal and then someone got killed by it....
Any idea that the "non-lethal" gun was?

From https://apnews.com/article/europe-russi ... 69e96b0a2d
The perpetrator used a gun designed to fire non-lethal rubber or plastic projectiles, the university press service said. Such weapons can be modified to fire other ammunition. State news agency RIA-Novosti cited local officials as saying the gunman owned the weapon legally.

Even under the heel of the aromatic Stalinism of modern Russia, bad people will do bad things…
Condolences for those effected.

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: At least eight killed at Russian university
Not that it detracts from the awful shooting but it is actually more common for Russian soldiers to be killed in mass shootings in Russia, usually shot by a fellow soldier and it was particularly prevalent in the '90s.
