Shotguns?

[Lou Girardin]

Three 9mm rounds didn't even slow down the nutter with a knife in Henderson yesterday.
Time for 12 gauges perhaps?

No need for shotguns, they still had 14 rounds to go before the gun ran dry, wonder why they stopped??

Danger with shotguns is if you're too far away and not all the buckshot hits the bad guy (or the solid slug goes through) what/who is in the background to 'wear' the excess lead??

sounds like the american shoot first ask..... oh i mean use the patrol car, that would be effective. espically the cars with bars on them.

and if that does not work, use one of those stun gun things they look like fun, atleast a few secounds of enjoyment for the police. shooting is just so last century.

They should have fired a warning shot between the eyes !!!

Ah but don't you just love 'last century"?? the bullets seem to work just as well THIS century too!!


Wonder how we would have seen it if the nutter 'just' had a golf-club in his hands - and had just brained the old guy instead of stabbing him??

Depends on what the guy is on. I have seen someone high on 3 types of drugs take 7 shots of .38mm and 2 mags of 9mm before he eventually faltered and didn't get up.

I have also seen a guy go into shock and die from a fucken shrapnel wound in the knee. Depends on whos getting shot and how well you can place a bullet.

ummm... yeah...

There is a chance you'll miss with the 9mm...

There is a guarantee you'll miss with the 12 gauge - at least some of the pellets anyway.

Guns as a last resort - I'd fully support a deer net being shot at the idiot... what about that?

I'll give you a glock and see how well you place a shot when they are coming towards you with a knife.

deer net now thats a good idea. still effective. that would be an interesting site to see, someone being taken down by one of those.

The cops have nearly finished their training with the new semi auto machine guns. If they used one of those that guy woulda been cut in half.

What guns are those? MP5's or is it a pistol version?

[cheetor]

9mm doest realy have the stopping power, especialy if someone is on P or PCP or other shit... You want stopping power, use a .45 with hollow points, not a FMJ 9mm

Or a good smack with a long battern. Would have knocked the knife out of his hand (and with a bit of luck broken it). Being back the cop helmet. Give them some body armer and teach them how to use the fu*ken battern again. Why the fu*k are they using guns against a fu*ken knife. Bit over the top IMHO. But what the fu*k I wasn't there. Maybe they need AK47's to do the job now.

What badcat said. But imagine the repercussions with the NZ govt. Bloody bills being passed all over the show and then the cops will have to have a paper to sign in triplicate before even being issued those things.

Bring back dum-dums!
