    Can't find it online but a few years ago there was video footage of a bunch of cops ( pretty sure it was in NZ) outside a domestic incident.<br>
    The guy inside set his dog on the cops they all shot at it as it ran towards them past them, they all fucken missed. Then it ran back, they all fired again at it and all missed again! <br>
    Would have been 4 or 5 guys

    <p>anyone else wondering how the feck 4 AOS guys - kitted up to all hell and well trained... can get shot with a shot gun and then a .22?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>were they ambushed? every cop entry i've seen they go in guns up and ready but it sounds like didn't even get any shots off.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>seems a bit odd.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>might be tied in with the report i read saying the plane just heard shots. they may have just been door knocking or something. Maybe they thought the shots did come from shooting range and they weren't really expecting anything to go down.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>regardless the family are fcuktards for saying it wasn't him shooting at the plane.. that is completely irrelevant anyway cause it's no excuse for shooting at some cops!</p>

    <p>Well they're human and they wouldn't know the area like the offender, think of every time you walk into a new house and you take a second or two to get your bearings. Now think of having a fraction of that time in an extremely volatile situation. Doesn't really compare. Four getting hit and none of them dying is extremely fortuitous though, back in the 1940s the same happened and all of them died in an incident which got the NZ AOS set up immediately afterwards in case such events happened again.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>NZ is lucky, in our entire history there's still only 29 cops killed in the line of duty. That's a stat to be proud of even if one was a relative of mine.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Regarding pistol accuracy I've fired a glock at the range and I'm a fairly decent shot, much better with a shotgun or rifle though. One analogy one bloke made to me was how easy it is to answer questions on Who wants to be a millionaire while sitting on the couch at home, it's another thing entirely to do it under pressure. As for all that Gangsta N*ga movie shit of holding the gun sideways you'd be fucken lucky to hit a door from a metre or two away.</p>

    <p>For most people, if the target is >10m away, they're better off throwing the pistol.</p>

    <p>You're the exception then, I'm sure you could put a round through a fleas ass from 200 metres even under periods of extreme stress.</p>

    <p>I've shot a browning at a range and was wondering if I could hit myself if I turned it on myself. I geuss it would be effective if I was being attacked in a cupboard, but then again, I'd still miss.</p>

    I regularly fire a glock and I can assure you SammyC you don't want to be doing it for real at much over ten metres. And that is if the nice man trying to kill you kindly stays in the one spot long enough for you to hit him.

    <p>So how does you theory about shooting an assailant in the leg work out then? You bet your life on making that shot? Or are you just prepared to bet other peoples lives?</p>

    <p>Shooting is a funny thing, I went claybirding with a mate of mine who was best in 3rd form with a rifle ( 97 out of 100, I got 70 odd ) I was much better at the claybirds though, he took 9 shots to even hit his first one whereas I got 8 out of 10 first time. ( clearly there was a couple of misfires in there )</p>

    <p>Well I assumed that police have a little more training than me in the art of shooting a gun.</p>

    <p>But I forgot, it's the New Zealand police force.</p>

    Claybirds very different to a rifle IMHO , you get way more time to aim since the targets not moving obviously , you probably have way better hand eye coordination than your mate . Speaking of which I bet Nick Willis hand eye coordination must be out of this world and he's probably slowing down a bit with age, maybe his Olympic future is in the skeet team?
