The Thomas Crooks firearm. What I know so far. "On the day of the assassination attempt, Thomas Matthew Crooks borrowed his father's rifle—a DPMS Panther Arms-produced AR-15–style rifle with a 16-inch (41 cm) barrel, chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO, effective at the range intended by Crooks, and described by federal officials as an average rifle of its type." -- Wikipedia I can't find a clear photo of his weapon. It was apparently purchased in 2020 from webstore Botach. NOPE, according to WaPo, it was purchased by Thomas Crooks father in 2013. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/07/15/thomas-crooks-trump-assassination-investigation/ According to one Youtuber it had no scope or magnification at all but did have a red-dot 1x sight. How he knew this or what photograph he derived that info from is unknown to me. He provided no links. It is similar if not almost identical to one of these: https://dpmsinc.com/dpms-dr-15-16-m4-5-56-nato-1-7-phos-classic-rifle-black.html https://dpmsinc.com/dpms-ar-15-16-m4-5-56-nato-1-7-phosphate-rifle-with-13-5-m-lok-rail-black.html
