Man survives 21 gunshot wounds: Placement, placement, placement!

[oldfool]

well, like I said
maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
but no conclusions
(maybe you or I would have done the same, if there, heckifiknow)

that many people shooting, that many rounds fired, maybe hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys, when loud sounds happen real quick, and not everybody is even in uniform... maybe, maybe this was the sort of picnic where lots of other "non-participants" were packing heat, not just those one or two guys other than the cops

they don't pay NYPD guys all that much, does seem like they could at least give them some practice ammo along with the gun

stay out of NY

Seems none of us were there to actually see how they managed
to miss soo many times ... and i would hate to be anywhere close
to a scene like that.

a miracle nobody got hit by a ricochet or stray ....

Can't seem to see too sure of what is beyond the target this August.

but caliber would seem to be the least relevant part of the story

The middle aged fool agrees with the oldfool on this one.

If I had to blame anything weapon related here, it would be those horrible extra heavy trigger springs NY uses. It’s great at preventing nd’s, but I’m sure it causes accuracy issues among the rank and file. I know that simply polishing some parts and adding a 3½ pound spring to my glock increased my accuracy…so I’m sure if I go 7 or 8 pounds heavier it would decrease my accuracy.

According to the news reports, if you can depend on them , the first round fired by an LEO hit one of his own in the chest. Fortunately the vest saved him. Say that to say, seeing one of your brother officers go down must have stimulated the action considerably. The 50 rounds fired probably in less than 5 or 10 seconds. There were bystanders hit to and with that many rounds fired it is amazing that more people weren't killed or seriously injured.

Meanwhile it makes me wonder about the P9 and the P238 I alternatively carry. I've often read that the 9mm is insufficient in stopping power let alone the 380. That a man can be hit 21, I think they are saying 23 now, times is remarkable and shakes my confidence in the round.

Was this guy on drugs? I'm sure a tox report is in the works...?

That guy will be a legend in prison . . .
