labrys 0 #26 July 11, 2008 QuoteThere's no reason she should be on target unless she is about to fire or is specifically pointing it at someone for a specific purpose. I wonder if she believes her Crown Vic is offering her any cover, since she's not really using it for concealment. I kinda wonder if the photo was staged for the photographer.Owned by Remi #?

Breaking rule 2 is the cause of 99+% of all "accidental" (actually NEGLIGENT) discharges. 80% of NEGLIGENT discharges are done by law enforcement...? i heard a rumor..Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

kelpdiver 2 #31 July 11, 2008 Quote Calling a magazine a clip shows a lack of knowledge about a firearm. I think whining about it says much more. 'It's not a boat, it's a ship.' Do land lubbers really give a fuck? No. They just think you're an asshole. it's far more useful to worry about people who think a glock doesn't register on an airport xray machine because the frame is polymer based. Clip versus mag? I couldn't care less. (and there you have those fuckers who get up in arms about could or couldn't care less - get a life already). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #33 July 11, 2008 Quoteis the clip in backwards? Ding ding ding! You're the winner. The magazine should curve forward at the bottom. Instead, this one is curving backwards, indicating it's inserted backwards. I don't even know how she managed to do that, because the design is a one-way thing. A ridge on the back side of the magazine fits into a notch on the back side of the magazine well. If you try to insert it backwards, it won't even fit - I tried it on my own. She must have really jammed that thing in there hard to make it stick. And this means, of course, that the bullets were facing backwards, with the back-end towards the front, and the bullet towards the back. Even if you managed to ram a magazine all the way into the mag well, the bolt would be unable to feed a cartridge into the chamber. And the worst part of all: This means that this policewoman was providing cover for her fellow officers, with a gun that couldn't shoot - that could have gotten someone killed...

Well, if this officer's tactical ability is on par with her weapon's ability, then its probably best that cover was not provided!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

JohnRich 4 #35 July 11, 2008 Quote#1 the trunk #2 her stance #3 the way she is holding the rifle... (part of her arm is missing) The trunk is probably cracked open because she just retrieved the rifle from there. That right elbow is cranked way up in the air, which is really weird. It's my understanding that the Army used to teach a 90-degree angle between the body and right arm, to help create a "pocket" for the buttstock and mitigate against recoil. But recoil isn't a factor for an AR15. And that stance just makes for a lot of wobble. Part of her left forearm appears to be missing, but if you look closely it's in shadow behind the magazine and rifle forearm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #36 July 11, 2008 QuoteThe magazine on the rifle is curving the wrong direction. Do AR-15's take curved magazines? The 30-round mags (bottom) have a pronounced curve. 20-rounders do not (top). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #37 July 11, 2008 QuoteI kinda wonder if the photo was staged for the photographer. That occurred to me as a possible explanation. Maybe a reporter wanted her photo in a "ready to fire" position, so, in order to keep the rifle safe while posing, she inserted the magazine upside-down to make sure that it wouldn't fire. I would hope that the police have better things to do than pose for reporters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #47 July 11, 2008 It's not in very far if it is in. Unless it's a 40 rounder. It's extending much farther down that if it was inserted in the mag well correctly. But, I can't tell. Could it be a magazine clamped to another inserted correctly? I haven't tried to blow it up because it so poor resolution. But it could be riggerd for an end to end flip. Drop it, spin it forward or back and insert. I have seen mags rigged that way. About the only way that mag is staying in place.I'm old for my age.

JohnRich 4 #48 July 11, 2008 QuoteThat picture was photoshopped. The magazine would not even go into the magwell if it was inserted backwards. I tried it on my AR, and you CAN jam the magazine in there enough to make it stay put, as long as you don't jostle it. And that also explains why that magazine looks so long, because the normal three inches or so that would be up inside the magazine well, aren't. You can also put it in upside down.
