    Someone told me a while back that the police get 30 rounds each to practice with for the year is that true ? glocks with a 9 pound trigger pull ?, in situations like this they should be able to unleash some serious fire power if they had of used a rocket launcher job done could have been sitting back at the social club drinking a well earned speights on Saturday night

    Does not quite sound right but here is my training program for the resource strapped:
    1. Learn to hold the gun tight in one hand (as you will anyway instinctively do in earnest situations), and to let off trigger without dropping the muzzle.
    2. Then raise it, focus eyes on the target and not the front sight (as you will do in an earnest situation), and shoot the target centre mass.
    3. Practice (2.) with the other 29 bullets.

    Definitely confirmed as a 7.62 so SKS, AK etc does it really matter? There is a lot to this situation and the comments about not aiming for Police do not stand up at all when you hear what actually transpired...I'm thankful that the Police involved directly in this incident got to go home to their family's.

    more holes in the windscreen for an sks even with a 10 round mag. skk maybe? or norinco (etc) 56.
    guarantee it was an illegal firearm looking at the shooters history
