Another +1 for 172
Of all I saw and read,
(reminds one of the Miami FBI shoot) The one thing that stands out most Is what 172 rifleman said, a .00 buck pump shotgun Would be a game changer In this particular fight. Here is a second dish Of food for thought What if the cops were armed all with .45s?

Vetting
Okay, since nobody did it, I went to the the Defensive Carry web site to see what they had on the presentation. I found the original posting.
http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulle...s-warning.html The guy got it off a local gun board. Great. So much for a solid source. This does nothing to add credibility to the report. So I read through the thread. I had actually posted in it at one point. Many of the posts noted the hokiness of the logos as noted in this thread and also that the "Defensive Systems Unit" doesn't appear to be real. Okay, not looking good at all for the story, eh? Towards the end of the thread was posted a link to a news account. So I followed it. It was one of those where you get the first 10 lines and then they want you to sign up for their service. However, I took the information from that and did more searches. The shooting was in Hazleton,PA The dead guy is George Thomas Deeb, III The coroner is Dr. Jack Consalvo (at least the one mentioned in the article for which you have to pay and for which isn't attributed to an actual source. So I kept looking. I still can't prove that the presentation in the OP of this thread is real. HOWEVER, I did find this. http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal...ual_report_pdf It is the 2006 Penn State Police 2006 Annual Report Page 110 has the following information... Quote:
So is that dead Deeb on the table? I don't know. However, Deeb did fight the hell out of the cops, taking numerous (17) wounds before eventually succumbing and injuring two cops along the way. So y'all can still argue all you want about whether the presentation is valid, but I think this completely squashes the notion that the presentation must be a fake because of the lack of survivorship or ability to fight through being gunshot that many times. Deeb did, plain and simple. The shooting happened.

I don't believe for one second that a .40 caliber round would only penetrate one inch of human tissue, unless it shattered bone and got lodged there. Any other tissue, several inches of penetration minimum, in my opinion.

Well of course it didn't. Did you read the thread? That was the supposed purpose of the presentation mentioned in the OP was to correct the alleged reporting error that the ME reportedly made as stated in a BLOG. The .40 caliber rounds obviously went deeper. That isn't in question.
However, dosjoel wondered if things might have been different had the cops had .45s. My point was that the report would show minimal benefit over .40 caliber (if at all, really). So the erred report would not have shown 1" of penetration as with the .40, but 1.12" of penetration with the .45. The report would still be in error, LOL.

I'd like to see the toxicology reports, I understand PCP aka "Angel Dust" can make someone hard to subdue. Charles Askins tells the story of one smuggler who continued to shoot after being hit squarely in the sternum with a .351 Winchester Auto rifle round. Askins noted his tenacity and willpower.

After seeing this thread
After seeing this thread I'm going to have to conceal my .50 BMG rifle.
What are the point of these threads? |
