Police fire 96 shots in 41 seconds.
Five cops, each firing one pistol each. 15+1 capacity.
So, five seconds to empty. 3 to reload. Five more to empty...
41/8 = 5.125 magazines.
Let's call it five each. 15*5 is 75 shots per officer. Five officers is 375 shots.
So they fired just more than 25% the full rate of fire.
That means that they were pausing to assess or move to and from cover.
It wasn't a panicky mag dump.
Real panic would have been every one of them firing 15 and cowering someplace.
One cop didn't even get off a shot before he was wounded.
So 15*5*4 for 300 shots at max rate. So about 1/3 the potential ammo dump.
But 96/4 is 24 shots per cop. Or almost 2 magazines each.
Got to see a video of a local cop who magdumped his service pistol into a driver who tried to run him over. From first shot to empty was really quick. I mean, really really really quick. Amazing how quickly one can fire when someone's trying to kill you.
ReplyDeleteFrom my perspective, both the case mentioned above by you and the one by me were good shoots. FAFO.
Well, to be fair the police were NOT the only ones firing, so that might have made up the "96" shots that are being broadcast... Not a lawyer or police officer, but seems like this was a good shoot to this ex-GI who escaped the Chicago area...
