Where has this guy testified as forensic expert?

Can you say mistrial?

Is it too late to have the NYPD revoke his pension?

I noticed the same thing. He was making up s**t as fast as he could spew it. You could tell he was tap-dancing the moment he started talking about bullet velocity. He put his mouth on autopilot while he racked his feeble brain for some numbers relative to the .223. He couldn’t find anything so he just spat out a broad range of numbers and said it depended on the type of bullet “round-nosed etc.” It’s the kind of BS a kid in high school will make up on the fly for a test when he hasn’t studied the material but wants to sound like he does.

My hp 48SX died about 4 years ago and I just broke down and bought a new hp 50g last year.

HPs don’t last like they did back in the seventies. Seems you can count on about 15 to 20 years of daily usage. then das kaput.

[Billthedrill]

I have a .223 myself. Ever see all those pock-marks on the Moon? That was me.

[Dick Bachert]

Yeah, you could bring down an elephant with a 55 grain .223.
Just need to use a few hundred or so.
This clown must be on Bloomberg’s or Schumer’s payroll.

I especially liked the parts where he imagined that a sear can’t release if a rifle is dropped, and that a Kalsihnikov type rifle was designed for someone other than an illiterate Russian peasant to operate it. We have fun with such people when they come in the store.

I don’t know that much about guns but I wouldn’t use a .223 on anything larger than a cougar, not even if it’s charging. ... elephants?????

[PubliusMM]

Subject Matter Expert? This isn’t even a good advert for the gun grabbers...

3000 fps does not come anywhere close to equally 2500 mph.

Actually it does. 3000 ft/sec * 3600 sec/hour * 1/5280 miles/ft = 2045 miles/hour.

But otherwise he's an idiot, throwing around both a lot of monkey pooh, and some scary sounding numbers.

None of which has much to do with whether the guy deliberately or accidentally shot his girlfriend. Just looking at him, I'd say Guilty as Hell.

early story here) But that's a matter for the jury to decide. They apparently agreed with my assessment They gave him life. I'd have been a bit more severe, except that apparently that was the max sentence given the charges.

I imagine the neighbors were glad it wasn't really an elephant gun.

[El Gato]

He said the AR-15 could not be used for hunting because if you hit a deer with that cartridge there would be nothing left to eat.

Well he's right. The deer would run off to where you could never find it, probably die days later, and the coyotes, big cats and or buzzards would eat it.

[El Gato]

Not unless it has some effect on the elephant.

It would have an effect. The elephant would be pissed off, and the alpha female would come out to stomp you into the ground.

[TigersEye]

Both of these guys are post turtles. Whoever gave them their jobs should be slapped.

[mountn man]

The bullet EXPLODES from the barrel three times faster than a Boeing 747 at TAKEOFF!!!!"

Thank goodness I've never flown (or attempted to fly) on a 747. I never knew a 747 EXPLODED at TAKEOFF.

[Dead Corpse]

Guilty, for certain in that case. Fired one round, still one round in the chamber? Only way to do that is mag was in the rifle and loaded. Sight parallax also matches with sights being on her face and yet bullet hitting her in the neck.

Doesn't change the fact that tools like this "ex-cop" are why good folks go to jail and bad laws get written.

I wouldn’t use a .223 on anything larger than a cougar, not even if it’s charging. ..

Even if she's buying you something nice?

[NVDave]

You’re right.

The only reason I could see to shoot round-nosed pills in .224 is if the thing were long and massive - say, 105gr or more.

The trouble is, no stock chamber has a throat leade to handle pills that long, so you’d end up having half the pill down below the base of the case neck, which means that your pressures start going up, and you lose case capacity.

There just comes a point where a guy has to say “screw it” and go get the right tool for the job. And in dangerous large game, that means something larger than .30 cal and pills > 250gr - better if they’re 300gr or more.

[shibumi]

Gee, I’ve got a .243 Winchester bolt action that has a trigger guard AND a measurable trigger pull AND a scope.

I’m gonna go get me some Hefalumps, Rindosoreasses and Bars!

(Got me 3900 FPS!)

I never realized it was the kind of rifle I would use to actually *hit* something!

[NVDave]

You’re incorrigible.

If there were more gals on threads like these, you’d be getting some serious punishment.
