Local PD vs 50 cal..

[Two36]

Dude decided to engage Vancouver swat with a .50 this morning. News on this should be interesting

 

[Pok]

I think it now smells bad in there

 

[Two36]

Hope seats are plastic and not cloth

 

[cas6969]

Was that 2:30AM or is that some sort of metric clock?

 

[E. Bryant]

The windshield of that Bearcat held up pretty well.

 

[NoDopes]

Lucky a second shot didn't land.

 

[lonegunman762x51]

Apparently, someone was serious about not wanting to go to jail. So, did they win?

 

[Tempest 455]

Looks like cops shot and killed him.

Two Vancouver officers put on leave after fatal police shooting

A fatal shooting left an armed man dead after police in Southwest Washington responded to a disturbance call late Thursday night.

Are you sure it was a 50? I have seen ballistic glass decimated by single 50bmg rounds

 

[Blue Sky Country]

Police forces worldwide are REALLY lucky that 99.99% of armed criminals, violent drunks, and emotionally disturbed types that they deal with do not have any clue of how to conduct actual effective attacks, shoot, or utilize their weaponry to maximize casualties.

The folks out there that do know these things are usually the ones that go out of their way to avoid confrontations and police encounters.

 

[cas6969]

It's the cops fault. If they didn't have Bearcats and MRAPs, criminals wouldn't need weapons like that.

(using liberal "logic" against them)

 

[JJMoody]

I know it’s in jest, but I’d be treading lightly on using their logic from the other side of the argument.

 

[jbuck88]

Imagine the guy driving that thing went from feeling protected and safe to holy shit ge me the fuck out of here in about .0001 seconds.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

.50 ban in 3..2…1…

 

[BurtG]

Bet that wasn’t AP or API

Wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t even a BMG

 

[Maser]

Doubt that was a .50 cal. Most likely a shitty rusty deer rifle.

 

[Thumper580]

338 Lapua, maybe.

 

[101st]

6.5 Creedmoor.

 

[37L1]

9 mm

That glass is multi hit .50 BMG rated

Maybe it was a serbu with slap rounds and he couldn't get another round off.

put that in there

On the same spot? I'm guessing not.

 

[TheHorta]

.50 BMG M33 Ball will not penetrate a 3/8” AR500 plate.

.50 API/T, MK211, MK263, and SLAP will easily make it through any ballistic glass and through Bearcat or MRAP armor.

.50 ball won’t even make it through a quality Level IV plate at 10 yards.

Moral of the story: If you’re gonna use a Fiddy to FAFO, use real ammo.

[KYAggie]

50 ball won’t even make it through a quality Level IV plate at 10 yards

While this might be true, could you imagine the bruising that would take place on the other side. If the person wasn’t dead, they would probably wish they were.

I forgot spitball, summoning a demon with tribal dance, and a deadly fart.
