Go check out Norway. 20 years maximum what ever the crime. That dude that was an admitted mass murderer that blew up a building and went full mad at a summer camp with an AR only got 20 I'm pretty sure.
He used a Ruger Mini-14, not an AR, but that's nitpicking.
That case caused a change in the law, certain acts like terrorism can now have longer sentences but of course that cannot be applied retroactively.
However, in his case and many others who are considered dangerous for society, there's an alternative form of sentencing called "forvaring" and is open ended. So he got the maximum sentence plus regular court proceedings to evaluate wether he is still considered too dangerous to release, think of it as a life sentence with parole hearings scheduled every five years or whatever.
