I hear these terms being throw around in the ignorant ass media and on here as well. A few points:
"Assault weapon" is used to classify long rifles capable of holding 30+ very fast bullets bullets. this kid used two handguns, which are NOT assault weapons by any legal or group definition.
"Automatic weapons" - any gun which fires multiple bullets when the trigger is pulled once. Again, this was NOT used yesterday. He used "semi-automatic" guns - which require one trigger pull for every one bullet fired. Automatic gun = machine gun. They cost $2500+ each and require a $2000 tax stamp to get, afte r along background check.
"armor piercing bullets" - beyond ridiculous. Not used, and not manufactured since 1994.
So please, if you don't like guns, that is fine. They save lives and take lives, but a ban would only take them out of the hands of good guys. Just please, don't abuse words throw around by ignorant people.

Well said sir. If all guns were to disapear then it would be knives, after that bats after that hands. There are killings and killers long before there were guns.

The real answer is todays youth's minds are garbage. Its like they think human life is a video game, push a button and get a new life. This generation is without doubt, the worst generation in history. Be proud of yourselfs, every other kid today is damn near psychotic. We actually used to fight with our fists and we all understood their ain't no bitch worth a human life, pussy is dime a dozen.

I agree 100% it has to do with the culture.life is devalued to the point of killing someone over a pair of shoes.

I went with the Kimber .45. Even if u wing em..the wing comes off. ;D. Roster these same kids ur railing against are kicking the dog snot outa the Iraqi's every time we end up in a straight fight. They mowed the shit out of the folks in Falujha..these kids are hero's. Don't lump must of our youth in witha few worthless gangbangers. Well I have 3 more days off so I'm headed to the gym. I'll chime in when i get back.

They are legal you idiot. You just need an FFL.

I carry a .45. 9 mm's suck.

LOL... I didn't want to call him on it. It sounds like Old Rooster doesn't know much about guns, but has the audacity to lecture others on what should/should not be legal.

I used to carry a .45 for probably 3-4 years. I'm a bit more accurate, and WAY faster on shots #2,3,4 with the 9 mm than the .45
I figure any (god forbid) gun battle I ever face will be over in 5 seconds after a flurry of rounds, so the amount of bullets I can squeeze in matters most.

Not bad logic as long as there is no body armor involved, but most people don't think like you Rob.

That's why you always shoot for the head. :P

IMO, best technique is to make a conscious effort to hit 2-3 times center mass then if the target has not dropped you focus for head. Head for the first shot is way too hard with a moving target. You have to do all this while using your off-hand to cup in front of your skull and forearm to shield upper organs and running at variant speeds diagonally backwards for an exit.
This of course is the plan. When my brother shot at one of the two men robbing his pharmacy 22 months ago, it was textbook. Fired 4 shots at the man aiming at him, hitting center mass as the man spun around, then my bro took aim at BG #2, who chose to flee. I can imagine that most firefights are way less neat and can go any which way. But the idea is to create distance at variable speeds while creating space, hitting center then head, and getting the hell out of there.

And who created these kids.....that's right your and the Baby-boom generation, also known as the "Yes generation", because you guys said yes to everything a kid wanted. No foot in the ass type of parenting.
-

Lol. We finally agree. ;D
To Rob:
You bring up the failure drill which is the best way to take someone down. 2 to the chest, one to the head. Delta expanded on this and had their own version of 4 to center mass and one to the head. They use mainly Glock 19's so the extra rounds help with that.
-
That and Delta guys shoot thousands of rounds per week.....
-
delta guys shoot straighter and faster than I do :P
After 4 shots i expect the bad guy to have already-
- be downed
- retreated
- tackled me
- shot me

Get some body armor. Gives you the edge. ;)

Jag, you don't generally take a headshot because the probability of impact is too low.

plus people get so damn lucky sometimes - skulls do bounce bullets now and then. Soft organs do not (although sometimes you get lucky with a rib)

I've not read your thread, I'm sorry, I'm only just keeping up with this, the news in England.
I reckon this is how come I moved back to a civilised country, to get away from the mess you call democracy.
SORRY. I'm upset. It's a funny Pisces New Moon
I don't know, If I was thinking straight, I'd think it might not be a good time to go out in London either.

Fixed it. Unless that is your answer then you should keep practicing.

Very true. I was just pointing out their technique, not Rob's "skill" in shooting.
