Looks like that might be the case, the very first point the media started to scream about was muh "assault weapon". What type of weapon he used is yet to be confirmed, but it was indeed some sort of automatic rifle. AR15, AK47, AK4 or similar. The video footage is very blurry and has shitty audio quality.
Most likely the case yes, ironically it's much easier to get a license for those. A small handgun would be the hardest to get a loicense for in Sweden, so you might as well go full automatic. It's good on the range, it's good for war, it's good for defense and even hunting since it was legalized a few years ago.
Although nothing has yet been confirmed. 100% sure it wasn't a revolver or pistol tho judging from the sound. Too many shots fired in the amount of time.
Sweden actually has competitive SMG shoots and private ownership.
But the cops have been trying to kill it for years. Clubs get shut down, denied club weapons for beginners to use and they sell subguns for around 100 USD just because almost no one can get the paperwork approved.
In this case it seems to be just a regular "scary black" hunting rifle though.

He used full auto? By default I assume "typo" when I read that so just checking.
