Get four friends and blast them away with AK's.

Don't you ever bet against 4x4 in traffic related issues.

I thought they'd end up finding the getaway vehicle burnt out - pretty much the only thing the shooters could do with it. They probably had a few cars lined up to stage the getaway. I doubt that the cops will have an easy time catching them.

The fallout from this should be interesting. It's been a quiet year for gang wars so far. One would think that will change now.

I'm boringly calm now. A few weeks ago I went camping and my sister, who was following me, called me to tell me to "speed up, grandpa".

But I still notice all of you peoples' mistakes, and you all still suck at driving. Except Ken0042, with his cyclist dodging prowess.

I think even good shooters are much less accurate when something like this is going down due to adrenalin and everything going on.

I dunno, I saw a kid get shot last year. Dude sniped him from about 300 feet away with a berretta. Could have been a lucky shot.

If it's close range, like, right in the seat of a truck, and he missed 5-8 rounds, there definitely is an element of bad aim.

Yeah it's probably a combination of him being a bad shot and being scared ****less about what he's about to try and do.

Shooter is probably going to get shot by his own gang to teach him a lesson not to have such bad aim. He had 8 tries inexcusable to not hit him once. I know I would be making an example out of this guy if it was my gang

Don't you pretend to be the kingpin of a hypothetical gang?

Definitely a lucky shot. Even pretty avid shooters would have a hard time hitting a, presumably, moving target at 100yds with any hand gun consistently.

It's certainly not impossible, but I don't think it's something your average banger would be able to do on a regular basis.

Would be interested if anyone has some good articles on the shooting - that CBC documentary was a good watch.

I feel that.....if we had more gun control laws, things like this wouldn't happen.......


I'm kidding of course, ... but I'm surprised knowone brought this up.

How does this bum miss a guy with 6-8 shots ....with an AK-47??
I just shot one a few weeks ago btw, very fun and easy to use.
