I think there was a course offered recently for "journalists" on reporting these things. Such as:

If a Dan Wesson .357 semi-auto revolver is fitted with a silencer, the .50 cal cartridge gains much more velocity and destructive power since the sound energy is now transferred into the 20mm projectile making it travel many more miles per second than without a muffler attenuator. Or something. Add a forestock grip and no telling how much damage could be done.

Couple that Dan Wesson with some XRBR ammo:

Xtreme Rabid Badger Rounds signal a paradigm shift in home defense and anti-terrorism ammunition. Utilizing the same state of the art technology that puts foam dinosaurs in those plastic capsules that dissolve in hot water, I’ve been able to enhance what would be otherwise boring hollowpoint ammunition with a rabid badger core. The exact process is like, totally secret and proprietary.

Upon striking the body of your target, a rabid badger is unleashed through a process that involves a lot of really hard to understand math and physics calculations, and possibly some magic. The resulting stopping power goes beyond devastating, and is actually completely unable to be measured. In every ballistic test conducted, the badger ate the gelatin block, and then quickly turned on the testers.

My cores use very expensive laboratory grade badgers that are 99.9% pure, and 100% insane with rabies.

The shock of a rabid badger bursting from a teammate’s body and then going totally nuts adds a psychological warfare element unmatched by any other ammunition maker in the industry today. To further enhance this, I took a cue from the A-10 Warthog, and painted a scary face on each and every round.

Already in use by Elite Team Fighting and many other highly trained special operations forces around the world, XRBR rounds represent the zenith in small arms ammunition technology. Get yours today!

My Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence gunfighter training covered the things to worry about if you see a bad gun:

1. Does the weapon have a threaded barrel?
2. Does the weapon have a bayonet lug?
3. Does the weapon have a pistol grip?
4. Does the weapon have a grenade launcher?
5. Does the weapon have a folding stock?

According to my Bloomberg-certified instructor, if you don’t see any of those things, you’re not facing an assault rifle, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Without those deadly features, the rifle cannot shoot anywhere near as quickly (feet per second and rounds per minute both!).

That’s nothing compared to the power of a full auto AK revolver.

Especially a revolver with a 40rd clip.

...reported that a semi-automatic weapon can shoot more bullets in less time than a small-caliber weapon.

Do they walk to school or carry their lunch?

Is there any way to have an online openly available AP style book? It is the reporter’s big brother writing guidebook. The AP considers writing any other way to be a hate crime or thought crime.

The AP does not care about reporting truth only achieving a desired result. In this case the abolition of the second amendment civil right.

You will probably not find an automatic weapon at a crime scene.
I bet the government agents (cops, BATF) had and used weapons that are capable of automatic fire. The AP noted that it put words in the witnesses' mouths, when witnesses said "heard what sounded like automatic fire," and the AP reported that as "heard what sounded like semi-automatic fire."

Did the bikers have “cop killer” bullets and the cops “biker killer” bullets?
Seems the autopsy’s should be able to tell who shot who by that revelation.

They move people around in news orgs. One day a sports writer the next day an aviation expert followed by maybe writing about hog futures or something.

. The AP also erroneously reported that a semi-automatic weapon can shoot more bullets in less time than a small-caliber weapon

This is a particularly clueless apples-to-asparagus comparison.

I bought a threaded barrel for a handgun.

I don’t have the hand gun, I just want to leave it so when the long tables show up it will drive them crazy looking for a suppressor.
