The office on the ground had to make a split second decision, he made a judgement call on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In MA's bullshit fantasy scenario, you wouldn't need to offer a challenge as there is already a threat to life. Also, shooting to disarm/disable is Hollywood bullshit fantasy. Limbs and/or weapons are difficult things to shoot at, especially in chaotic situations. Aim for the centre of mass, twice to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also car doors are not bullet proof, shooting oil barrels doesn't make them explode and firing from the hip while making a face will not kill all the bad guys.

While "Ol' Faithful" was before my time (Jan '97) as a general service rifle, I did manage to fire one down the Falklands. There wouldn't be an arm for the blood to trickle from, let alone a trickle.

Rog Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Qur'an 5:33 explains a lot, especially when other verses are examined. In effect what he did was in line with the (ig)noble qur'an. Therein is the root of such acts against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
