Kristopher, yes. Apparently, Mr. Arms there has posted on internet forums that he was given the gun and told to stand around and look intimidating. And he said the gun wasn’t loaded.
I believe a typical WWI doughboy infantry squad, armed with nothing more than bolt-actions (and actual marksmanship training), would be a match for today’s roid-fueled police SWAT teams.
Somes Depts hit rate is as low as 11%, some as high as 40%
I was doing some reading about police hit rates a few days ago and saw the amazing statistic that their hit rates plummet when multiple officers are shooting. 9% was stated.

That guy reminds me of the show, ‘The 300’. Turns out they pumped up before each shot so their muscles would bulge more.
And of course, like the show 300, they give short shift to the THOUSANDS that were not part of their ‘elite’ group, even if they actually do more.

Blame the armorer.
He was probably just issued that weapon.
