Don't be a knob :)

I know that no one on here would do something so silly but this video really puts into perspective how quickly your life could end if you carry your RIF in public.

f*ck me, my heart skipped a beat when he was throwing the pistol away. Wonder if he realised just how close to being dead he really was.

 

[cropzy]

Would not even dream of such a thing, imo anybody who displays a RIF in public is an idiot.

 

[Mr Monkey Nuts]

That's a pretty impressive draw speed form the first officer.

People this dumb should not have a UKARA Defence. Did it ever cross their minds that carrying a RIF is a terrible idea? Anyways, someone who skirmishes should know the law. Especially if they have been over three times in no less than two months.

What made you think that he had a valid defence?

 

[Happy]

This is why we can't have nice things...

The lad was a idiot. I mean what absolute moron thinks it's okay to go out in public with a replica weapon amongst people who won't be able to distinguish it from the real thing? The fool.

Treat your RIF like your genitals, don't get it out in public, don't wave it about where neighbors can see and don't be a dick! The only time you should have it out is when your in the woods with strangers.

....Oh no this metaphor was a bad choice

The son of a family friend just recently got locked up for 7 years for armed robbery. He was using an Airsoft gun. Complete bellend. His Dad is huge, I can't imagine what's going to happen to him when he's out. lol.

All these idiots are potentially ruining Airsoft for us legitimate players. If they carry on then we're going to end up with either bright coloured guns or none at all.

video said he was a 16 year old boy, as such he can't have a site membership and therefore can't be added to the UKARA database.

nowhere was it mentioned that it was an airsoft gun either, just that it was a toy.

True, his parents could have played. Either way. He's really stupid.

Awesome reactions from the Driver, awesome training and even more awesome composure not to put a round in him! Mark Duggan didn't even have a gun in his hand an he bought it...One very lucky lad right there

 

[BrightCandle]

Its mighty impressive he didn't get shot. The speed of draw and the amazing read from the officers that he wasn't drawing to shoot is incredibly, if that had been the USA that kid would be dead with about 10 bullets in his chest. I can see why the police would kindly like the RIFs out of the country when there are idiots like this around carrying them down the highstreet.

 

[Mike636]

I heard somewhere that the officer had taken first pressure, which is a knats hair from going bang. If you see the video of the officers attending the Lee Rigby incident they decamp, draw and fire in about a second

ok, a fairly old topic but worth a look again don't you think....

I think that is we're somthin like this or a tazer is an effective piece of kit.

Last post was a year and a half ago chaps.

Obviously Tasers are already carried by some officers - that attachment would require all officers to have guns anyway and has been proven to have far more than satisfactory consequences when we're talking about less lethal projectiles. The muzzle energy is, just as with many other 'rubber bullets' still high enough to kill (especially if it's hitting a teenager).

In addition, police 'shoot to stop' in these scenarios - a lot of the time that means killing someone. If they have a gun and are an immediate threat then risks like this (i.e. not shooting them) cannot afford to be taken. You will die if you point something that (they believe) looks like a gun at an armed police officer; there aren't two ways about it unfortunately.

One I posted against was today. ?

If poeple want to discuss it, I'd rather they necroposted than started a new thread.
