[QUOTE]A siege in France in which a suicidal man was threatening to shoot himself ended without fatalities when a policeman took a risky longshot at the man and hit him in the leg. Video of the incident that aired on French TV on Tuesday shows a tactical police unit encircling the man's home, searching for a way to breach the high walls surrounding the garden in Canet-en-Roussillon in France's southeast. A woman's screams can be heard as the intoxicated man steps into his backyard with a rifle pointed to the bottom of his chin, his finger on the trigger. Police are poised to breach the walls when a single shot rings out through the neighbourhood. "Toni! It's me that opened fire! I shot him in the leg," the gendarme sniper calls from a high rooftop across the street. The policeman took the difficult shot using only what appears to be an MP5 submachine and his naked eye. Police scale the walls and disarm the now-subdued suicidal man and others rush inside to quell the frantic woman convinced her husband had taken a fatal shot. "It's good! It's good! There's nothing, there's nothing," a police man says while he clasps the woman's face with both hands, the intense effort to reassure her recorded by a point-of- view camera. "It's us! It's us! It's us who fired the shot," he assures the woman calmly, telling her they took the shot. "Thank you," she cries through panicked breaths.[/QUOTE] [url]http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/2014/04/26/09/21/french-police-take-shot-at-suicidal-man[/url]

I am now thinking about the range and accuracy of every MP5 ive ever used in a video game
[QUOTE=JDER14;44646060]Holy shit.[/QUOTE] The MP5 is pretty easy to shoot, actually. Pistol caliber catridge in a heavy gun. Me shooting one full auto in December: [video=youtube;jLzXAH5xQg0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLzXAH5xQg0[/video]
not to put the guy down but the dude better be thankful for his life, he just got sniped [I]by a sub-machine gun[/I], he's lucky that it hit where the cop intended
Why does the police sniper get an mp5 to work with? Wouldn't it be more logical giving him a rifle?

[QUOTE=Araknid;44646057]omg why didnt they just shoot the gun[/QUOTE] The searing pain is a better guarantee of incapacitation, and it could have been a better target.

I always tried to switch to the ak-74 with a silencer, but the mp5 man... It always stayed in the back of my head...
[QUOTE=Adsone;44646139]I heard that before he took the shot the sniper was seen pulling out a knife from his pocket, before stuffing it back in and picking up his gun again, over and over.[/QUOTE] Did he jump off the building as well and loose about 10hp?

[QUOTE=rider695;44646106]Why does the police sniper get an mp5 to work with? Wouldn't it be more logical giving him a rifle?[/QUOTE] It probably wasn't a sniper at all, just one of the guys that happened to take a position on a rooftop. It's probably for the best that it was an mp5, considering it was rather close.

Probably utilized MP5's pistol caliber to just incapacitate. Any kind of marksman rifle has a good chance of causing some real damage even if it is in the leg.
[QUOTE=Juniez;44646394]the mp5 [I]does [/I]have a reported effective range of 200m..[/QUOTE] When the effective range is 200m on a submachinegun, the soldiers/officers are trained to be able to shoot at 30m and 200m, this is also what's being done with the MP5 and MP7 in Norway.
