rare and very dangerous gun recovered by police

[allen-1]

So much BS in this article it's almost funny.

Police: 1 arrested following University Avenue shooting, “rare and very dangerous gun” recovered

A total of 22 police officers and detectives responded to the incident, which officials say took more than 5 hours to resolve.

Thank god, I feel so much better that this cop killing death machine with cop killer bullets is off the street.

How about a gun that shoots rare and overly expensive ammo?

 

[JRT]

I peed. They really didn't do nearly as bad in the article as the title suggested.

... police ... plan to test fire the weapon and enter that cartridge casing into the city’s new Drebin Machine.​

(I might have misspelled that last part).

Thank god it wasn't a 4tay!
Love the grandstanding of the officers in getting this weapon of mass destruction off the streets...
What a bunch of tools!
I support the rights of citizens owning firearms, but...

Glad they don't know about my Super Rare Jenning J22 they would have a stroke.

5.7x28mm "Cop Killer" Cartridge Myth

www.chuckhawks.com

For those how don’t want to read the whole article:

Winchester's Super-X .22 WMR 40 grain jacketed hollow point (JHP) and full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets--Winchester offers both--have a MV of 1910 fps with ME of 324 ft. lbs. from a rifle barrel. Fired from a 6.5" pistol barrel the same loads register 1480 fps MV and 195 ft. lbs. ME. Note that rifle ballistics of this load are nearly identical to the 40 grain 5.7x28mm factory load as fired from a sub-machinegun length barrel and from a pistol barrel the 5.7x28mm is only a puny 21 ft. lbs. of kinetic energy ahead of the .22 WMR. I have never heard that semi-automatic .22 WMR squirrel and jackrabbit rifles were considered a particular threat to police, nor have I ever heard the .22 WMR described as a "cop killer" handgun round. Actually, the .22 WMR is considered a "mouse gun" caliber by most handgun authorities.

Once again the media (and in this case Green Bay Police Commander Paul Ebel) have no idea of which they speak. The only real advantage I see of 5.7X28 mm over the .22 WMR is that it is centerfire, so generally a bit more reliable. And I own an FN FiveseveN.

That would be ALL gunz right now!

 

[Drix]

A gun that fires a rifle cartridge? It's more like the p90 fires a pistol cartridge.

 

[Marty McFly]

Any idea where the perp got his ammo? Asking for a friend

 

[ThePreBanMan]

Did the dude even have ammo for it?

 

[Nkiv]

Wow....this story is from where I grew up.

 

[Mtn_Guy]

Super Killy…

Can't possibly be as dangerous as my super rare Flobert pistol

Cops are going to test fire it. I hope they don’t get the Vapors when they do.

 

[Wooderson]

Stories like this are why I wish some day some collector would go off the chain on a spree or a robbery with a couple of Gyrojets.

The news coverage would be incredible. "Star Wars!" "Star Trek!" "Buck Rogers!"

Hyperventilating DA comparing the noise level from a box of Alka Seltzer in water to a bazooka, and the accuracy of a Nerf gun to a laser. Chief of police claiming they can't stand up to such advanced firepower.

 

[Come and take]

I thought they got Wyatt Earp’s gun

[Picton]

So. Rare.

SO much dangerous!

I’m buying a lottery ticket!

I’m starting to think they got me on the rare part. Lol.

Somebody should tell them you can have an AR pistol in multiple rifle cartridges. Just saying…

And the guns are the exact opposite of a pcc. It's an rcp

Sadly he only had a case of 4.6x30mm

 

[Dennis in MA]

Ah yes. The choice of criminals across the country.

 

[daekken]

I was expecting it to be like a Borchardt C-93 or something...
