" Actually a .50 BMG rifle would have come in right handy when those armor wearing bank robbers were spraying bullets hither and yon in the Chief's jurisdiction a few years ago."

That's the truth! Still the whole thing could've been ended if any of those 50 cops had been a good enough marksman to score a head shot with a little ol 9mm. Heck, when they hit the nearby gunshops for backup firepower to make things "equal" not realizing that volume of fire without hits does not "firepower" make...they should have taken a deer rifle like maybe even a .30-30 and gone for the head shot then. Sheeesh I think that whole situation was a point of national shame for the LAPD for their lousy marksmanship.

You got that right, Soldier!

Spray 'n Pray just will not work. Never did, never will.

I'd rather have one sharpshooter with a single-shot rifle on my side than 10 full-auto-dipsticks.

Rounds that do not impact on target just make noise.
