Looks like an Armalite AR-15 or one of the clone brands to me.....Based on the pic shown it could even be an actual M16 but doubt it. Would have to see the receiver in close up to tell more.

You trying to make a point?

LOL....the fact that the kid was completely off his rocker walking around nude while he was committing it had nothing to do with it I suppose?

If indeed it turns out that his Dad intentionally gave him access instead of him sneaking it in some fashion then Dad should share some legal responsibility IMO.....

Here is the screenshot of IE Edge https://www.screencast.com/t/GPAlRrTv32

Here you can see how it looks in Chrome on that same resolution https://www.screencast.com/t/Lkusssf4L

We will definitively work on optimizing the site for older browsers, but right now all codebase is following latest browser standards which are being implemented in newer versions of IE, Chrome, Firefox. Old browsers are limited on functionality and page rendering, so as time goes they will become completely obsolete.

Using Edge on Win7 requires too many hoops to jump thru (setting up virtual machines) I do have Chrome and do use it when I run into compatibility issues which isn't often. I don't care for the interface personally. I did install Firefox some time ago but didn't care for it at all....removed lol

I refuse to deal with Win10 period, I started migrating my usage to Linux when Win8.1 came out and will ultimately be switching to Linux full time and not be looking back to Microsoft for anything. I would already be there were it not for a couple compatibility issues with astro imaging software.
