MPW: 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout

[HURLS]

I just saw it, I guess it's based on the bank robbery which Heat took credit for, but one question. The cops knew from the start that they were Kevlarred to the head. Why did not ONE cop get a headshot in, in all the rounds fired? I would think one would at least get lucky. They hit the robbers everywhere but the head. Maybe they needed the hick who shot Dimebag's murderer.


:D

i think the problem was all the cops were armed with pistols(would not be the case now) and they were quite a distance off. i could resolve that now in short order with my AR :bigsmile:

videos like that make me wonder why i do my job, cops getting shot for a banks money...

i forgot to mention...
many places (like my department) teach what is called a failure drill (two to the body one to the head), but people still dont to it most of the time

I agree with that notion. But you'd still think one would've hit the head. They were lucky ducks, for awhile.

:DFebuary 28, 1997. I remember seeing it on CNN or something. It was a Friday if I'm not mistaken.

Why did they not have a sniper on a roof with say, a .308 Remington Model 700? This would have been easy pickings for a skilled shot.

I would think that a .300 Win mag would go right through that kevlar armour wouldn't you?
