“The ammunition is legal...”
Second to last sentence. So try to ban it, you Nanny Staters. The Bad Guys will still have it.
It is amazing that no tests have been conducted, and all of the claims that this ammo will do is strictly conjecture> Kind of reminds me of when this company made a handgun ammo that claimed to pierce bullet proof vests, and anti gun Schumer immediately introduced a Senate Bill to out law the ammo. In the end, the ammo was a joke, it never existed! By the way, the law outlawing the ammo is still on the books.
First scare the hell out of everyone, get the public on board against the “cop killing ammo” then when the legislature outlaws it, the public doesn’t care.
Boil that frog a little at a time, never all at once, it will jump out of the pan.
A safety alert put out by the Atlanta Police Department's homeland security unit, warns officers to be extra careful because of the ammunition.
Some of those "safety alerts" used to convince me that some brass had nothing better to do than issue useless safety alerts.
Yeh, but the "NEWS" of it is good for the anti-gun folks......
Hell, they had to knock over the QuickMart clerks and fishermen just to get a piece of the action.
What about pizza delivers? Now that’s a dangerous job!
Okay, that is funny! I googled your sourse...LOL
And then I Googled your sourCe. Both were funny.
Yeah I do remember, but what does this BS have to do with the FACT that police work isn't particularly dangerous? Refresh my memory how many cops were killed then? As I remember only the criminals died. Or am I confusing that with the Columbine school massacre where the swat heroes rushed in under fire taking casualties to save the wounded. Oh wait, never mind, the victims bled out while the cops waited until it was safe.
Also, remember the carjacking in Atlanta year before last? The one where the woman was killed and the car jacker was stopped by an ordinary citizen with a gun?
Tell me how did you get addicted to the taste of boot polish?
Idiotic, even for you.
“Remember that shootout after the bank robbery in LA?

Very well said ga.

***The ad for the ammunition says it shoots dozens of steel darts that cause unbelievable trauma. ***
Too late! This ammo has been around since the early 1960’s! If you reload .12 Guage, just fill it with finishing nails instead of lead shot.
I can’t say that I really remember you from other threads. But apparently you’re one of those jackboot licking statists who for some reason is too stupid to realize that DU is their true home and keeps posting here.
Lastly, I am somewhat dubious about the amount of energy in the components of a disbursed projectile. There is only so much energy in total that a powder charge can impart. Multiple projectiles must share that energy. A three-dart “bullet” would only impart 1/3 of the total energy on each dart. Why would such a dart have superior penetrating ability as compared to a single bullet carrying the total energy of the powder charge?
Thanks!. It appears that New Yorkers (and who but a New Yorker would blatantly play the 911 card even in his/her handle) just don’t get it.
I believe they were also in 105 shells for wave attacks.
