How are the police going to deal with motorcyclists that cause a nuisance late at night and pose a danger to other motorists?<\/p>\n
Cops will also be armed with paintball rifles, nail guns to shoot out tires and can now use unmarked Black Wing motorcycles to keep watch on the roads. <\/i>(from this article<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Paintball guns I can understand, but nail guns (this is kind of off topic, but here’s another interesting story involving a nail gun-Operation Magician<\/a>)? Someone’s been playing a little too much Quake<\/a> or something. Hmmm, a cop shooting the tires out from under a young punk with a nail gun while riding a motorcycle. What could possibly go wrong? What if the cop mistakenly draws a bead on the motorcyclist’s head and only realizes that what he thought was a paintball gun was in fact a nail gun after he squeezes the trigger (Headshot!)? Does anyone else see anything that could possibly go wrong with these measures? I can already envision some fed-up cops freezing their paintballs and jacking up the velocity past recommended levels.
\nDoes anyone remember The Jackal<\/a> (the movie kind of based on The Day of The Jackal<\/a>, not Carlos the Jackal<\/a>, which is worth watching for the scene where Willis’s character adjusts the aim of the remote controlled .50 cal) with Bruce Willis and Jack Black? Well, some Texan is selling<\/a> 10 shots from a .22 rigged so that it can be used over the internet. I like the idea, but if I’m going hunting over the internet I want to use a larger caliber rifle with the option to toggle between semi, tri-burst, fully-automatic, and grenade launcher settings to compensate for any lag issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How are the police going to deal with motorcyclists that cause a nuisance late at night and pose a danger to other motorists?
