Re: Governor Punjab Salman Taseer murdered in Islamabad
It takes seconds to reload the magazine. You push a tab to drop the old magazine, slot in the new one, and pull the bolt back to load a new round into the firing chamber - less than 5 seconds.
You could fire a total of 60 bullets (2 magazines of 30 bullets each) in less than 15 seconds, including changing the magazine.
Though I personally find the account that he changed the magazine to be odd. Given that he fired from very close range, and that the AK-47 has a 30 round magazine, how could a highly trained policeman have to reload in order to hit with 27 bullets?
