i guess we now know how this round does against people. tragic way to find out. Other than war, i don't know if there is a non-tragic way to find out.

Thank you for correctly calling him a murderer, and thank you for correctly not using his name. I will never say the names of these people. They should be executed and buried in unmarked graves.

The specific details have not yet been released, but it appears that he fired a LOT without reloading and did a LOT of ...

The media is already using the "cop killer' moniker. FOX news has already botched any reporting accuracy . I predict the gun is going to take a lot of the blame for this mess.

I like the 5.7 as a range gun. It's very reliable (Glock-like) and is really easy to shoot. Highly accurate. I've carried it under coat a few times - it's very light. It's really fun to target shoot and would make a small game hunter happy. I hope we don't lose this one when it's mis-described as a concealable assault rifle. I have a few 19 and 20 round pistols and this particular caliber ...

Do we have a source for the assertion that the murderer used a 5.7mm? I've not seen anything to the contrary, but the only article that I've seen that talks about what tools were used is this one .

It is possible that the .357 contributed to more kills than the 5.7, but I doubt we're ...

The SS196 has been discontinued in favor of the SS197. It is basically the same thing as the SS196, but loaded about 100fps faster.

Quote: No fight terror with terror, their bodies should be fed to pigs in this case! --wally. wally, you are suggesting that it would be terror because you believe the myth that Muslims fear contact with pigs as it will render them unclean and hence unable to go to heaven, akin something supposedly Pershing did. It is one of those stupid myths that we tell to make ourselves feel empowered when it does nothing at all.

So are they now going to drop their argument that the dangerous super "assault weapons" should only be in the hands of the military?

Only good thing I can say is at least they'll be banning a crappy gun and caliber.

Five point seven millimeter? Obviously that is wrong. Someone on Fox News said it was a 9mm caliber.
