thanks
Huddling isn’t a normal human response. Those kids were taught and told to do that. It is a wrong choice, because it just make them fish in a barrel.
All that means is that they found it in the car. The passenger compartment is the area where the seats are. They don’t specify what seat it was near.
Obviously a Saiga 12 and drum magazines aren’t going to fit in any glove box. Gotta wonder why a writer and editor wouldn’t realize that.
The reason I posted the bit about the police moving the shotgun to the trunk “for safety” is that in the video, you can see that the shotgun is loaded and ready to go. They remove a round from the chamber.
They apparently did not check it or unload it when they moved it.
Pretty sure that a major volcanic eruption is a really, really different scenario than an active school shooter. What is a normal response in once scenario doesn’t mean it would be a normal response in all other ones.
The people of Pompeii were suffocated in hot ash and would have been low to the ground looking for breathable air and possibly huddled together for comfort and prayer in the face of inescapable doom at the hands of the gods. No one to fight, no where to flee, so lay down and die together.
Soldiers under mortar fire often want to ...
a) stop moving
b) gather together.
Especially when they see someone get killed, and/or a mortar falls really close.
These are exactly the opposite of what people should do when under mortar fire. They should maintain distance and keep moving - hopefully to flank the bastards firing mortars at them.
I’ll test it(jacketed .223) on a carcass when I come across one and let you know what happens.
Well that puts to rest a lot of questions.
