The funniest thing I’ve seen is a SWAT officer from Gwinnett at a gun show trying to figure out how to lock the bolt back on an AR15. He worked for about 2 minutes until he asked the owner to do it for him. Shooting Buddy and I giggled about it all day. But, yeah you figure they would know about these thing wouldn’t ya.

“a six inch bullet”

Umm, yes, that would be the 5000 grain anti-aircraft bullet.

If someone has the .50 cartridge and bullet specs handy, they might want to send that data to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department. I don’t think that word ‘bullet’ means what they think it means.

Not all police are gun savvy. My sister was familiar with the firearms she trained with and that was it. She had no real interest in guns outside of that.

Unless a police officer is a gun enthusiast, they usually know little about them and sadly have minimal shooting skills. I remember back in the mid-90s, seeing the Honolulu police open up on Tyke, a elephant that went rogue, with 9mm pistols. Good procedure though as they fired from cover behind their cars. Finally, one went to a gun shop and got a gun that could take down an elephant.

You could take down an elephant (even a pig) with a .50 cal but I doubt it would take down a Cessna. Must be why we don’t see the Army pointing their .50 cals at the sky.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
