[QUOTE=Andokool12;37057545]They could've simply wrote "fifth" instead of the casual "third (well, fifth)". Two people and two dogs were murdered and the author is writing with such a careless attitude that almost hints at attempted humour.[/QUOTE] I agree, but both fifth and third would have been fine imo.
[QUOTE=Clementine;37056920]Not hard to comprehend, hard to justify why one would put human death and animal death on the same level.[/QUOTE] you're reading into this way too hard.
that guy fuckin' deserved it for taking the life of an innocent house
Clementine; rating people dumb still counts as interpersonal interaction and a contribution to discussion. You're not very good at this 'not arguing anymore' thing
So were those people letting their dogs poop on his property or not? I won't know how to feel about this until I get that question answered.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;37056977]I can't wait for the usual gun critics to not post in this thread at all[/QUOTE] Didn't you say that last thread?
[QUOTE=smurfy;37056819]Gotta hand it to him Under those circumstances I couldn't have done what he did No way in hell Can't imagine what skill it took Or maybe it was luck No matter, it's amazing either way Terrible that two people were murdered beforehand though Regardless, this man is a hero Of course, there is only one thing left to do now Look at the first letter of each line and realise that this thread was fucked from the start[/QUOTE]Wow, and we have a winner for this thread. Still, thats a fucking AMAZING shot. Glad he saved a cop's life while looking like a total badass. Hat's off to you good sir.
[QUOTE=Clementine;37056979]Okay fine about the dog shit, I don't really care either way, they're just dogs. I'm done arguing.[/QUOTE] Thank god, because you were just being an asshole. Also, Fucking A+ for this man.

What a brave and courageous cat He saved an officer from certain death by using his gat Who knows what the suspect was thinking All we know is that he's no longer blinking
[QUOTE=TheHydra;37059313]what about bugs? no one ever mentions bugs in these conversations[/QUOTE] I think you have to draw the line somewhere. For me the line is lower than it is for some; others, like what's-his-name who was posting before, have a very high line
[QUOTE=Clementine;37056832]You don't count animals in a death count when people are present, its disrespectful. I won't even get into an argument about this, because idiots will remain idiots no matter what they are told.[/QUOTE] We're you beaten with an animal by your parents at a young age, seems to be your personal vendetta to belittle animals.

165 yard shot with a handgun? Holy fuck that is a long shot, I wonder how far up he had to aim.
[QUOTE=Dysgalt;37061609]165 yard shot with a handgun? Holy fuck that is a long shot, I wonder how far up he had to aim.[/QUOTE] I highly doubt it was a handgun. 165 yards with a [i]rifle[/i] is a fairly long shot. With handguns, anything beyond 50 and you shouldn't even bother.
[QUOTE=TheHydra;37059313]what about bugs? no one ever mentions bugs in these conversations[/QUOTE] bugs and insects do not have a brain, they run on a nervous system, one that tells them what patterns to act in and how to behave to certain things. They don't actually feel pain, nor do they have a consciousness.

For comparison, this is an experienced shooter with a target at 200 yards: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUZr2ekNFe8[/media] Pretty goddamn impressive, this guy is a hero.

With handguns, anything beyond 50 and you shouldn't even bother.[/QUOTE] no it's not. From what I can tell it was a .357 Magnum revolver. 165 yards at a man-sized target is an easy shot with any gun. It starts getting hard with handguns at around 150 yards, and magnum handguns at closer to 190. With rifles, 400 is generally where it starts to get hard to hit with an intermediate cartridge like 5.56x45, 800 with high power cartridges like .270 Winchester, and 1500 with a purpose-built cartridge like .338 Lapua. Video games tend to understate a weapon's effective range by a considerable amount for balancing purposes.

Not to mention under duress and shooting at what is probably a mobile target. Please post a video of your operator self oh so easily pegging targets at 190 yards with a fucking revolver.

I'll be running a good old .38 Spl too (it's the only revolver I've got, everything else is semi-auto), so I won't have the advantage the guy had with his magnum cartridges.
