Russia has strict gun ownership laws. The country's Investigative Committee said the shooter legally purchased the weapon used in the attack, a hunting rifle, in May, according to The Moscow Times. The university press service said the weapon was designed to fire non-lethal rubber or plastic projectiles. It's possible that this type of weapon can be modified to fire other types of ammunition, the AP notes.
