I see that they are now saying it was an M4 being used. I wonder where they got that from so quickly?Originally Posted by YellowDog
The Navy used to use L1A1's as shark rifles (7.62mm) locked on the bridge bulkhead of the patrol boats. I guess they only have 5.56's now.

The last death was recorded in 1976. He "was" in the tent next door to ours at a camp ground the night before the attack. I remember the police collecting his tent the next day and the mega shark hunt the next day. He was out spear fishing and had being tying the fish to his waist. Was a Tiger shark that got him as I remember.
Que?
Henderson Police Station presumably, if not the boot of a sergeants car. They've got hundreds of 'em.
Don't forget to bring a towel
Yes it is. Do some research and you'll find that water is slightly compressible, not enough to make any real difference, but it's not an incompressible fluid.

and it definitely is in it's gas form.

Poor swimmer & poor shark. Both in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Our coastal waters are seething with sharks. I've spent a lot of time on & in the water & their is always a shark or two close by. Here in the BoI's we have resident bronzies cruising off the beach, occasionally they nudge a swimmer out of curiosity. A juvenile great white was caught in a flounder net in the Ngunguru estuary. Great frights follow seals on to the west coast at certain times of year, some will be pushing 25 ft... and at this time of year large schools of ocean going kahawai follow anchovies close to shore with kingies & sharks behind them. You can see the bronzies feeding in the waves up north, Karikari & Tokerau, in waist deep water. The Mangonui fish shop used to entertain tourists by feeding bronzies from the back of the shop until somebody put the hard word on them.
I landed a 9kg kingfish head in Doubtless Bay, nipped off clean as a whistle behind the gills & similarly pulled up a 17kg hapuka head on a dan line over the Pandoro bank on the west coast, the bite was almost straight.
I've been an avid spearo for years & the worst that ever happened was being dragged backwards through the water when a shark took the fish off my float line. Never saw it, though. A spearo did nail an aggressive bronzie at Cape Brett a couple of years ago, a good, solid 15 footer. The shark had been following him about happily enough but started buzzing him & went into hunting mode so he decided him or me. Fair enough, I would too.
Bronzies are regarded as man eaters in South Africa.
Somebody said that the ocean is the last place on the planet where man is still prey.

Hmm. Too long from HSN I feel. Going to guess that the local officer has one in his car at all times.
Doubt Eagle landed with it.

"channellling the Pleideans"
thats why this country should have replaced the skyhawks with attack helicopters. Ground support and fish chasing. Let the Yanks with the proper air forces do the fast jet thing. Or use F35 for Bear Patrol (Simpsons last night)

...on occasion, pepper spray is just not the correct deterrent.

Only if it was more than 300-400mm below the surface when being shot at - or the shots wer not from fairly well directly above.....

You know .. Our ancestors had very good reason for leaving the water several million years ago .. it's dangerous out there .. why do some people now think it is a good idea to go back out there ????
