12 gauge Electric Slugs

[Dreadnought]

Wasn't there EMP shells in Fallout Tactics, good to fight robots?
Has somebody tested the effect of those things on robots?
Robots robots robots?
Robots?

[Dreadnought]

Bad habit of replacing "weren't" with "wasn't".
:white trash:

[Frater Perdurabo]

EMP shells in Tactics cut through robots like a hot knife through butter. I always had Stitch stick to Small Guns and maxed out shit like First Aid, Doctor and Barter on him. Shotguns were situational in end game though because many maps were focused on long-distance and the best shotguns had very limited range. In close range vs robots, EMP shells were unparalleled by anything else (instant kill), also because the animations were far quicker than the shooting with Plasma and Laser rifles.

Very educational.

I see . . . seemingly congenitally retarded scum in uniforms.

I watched a documentary on the police force in Finland a couple of years ago. Apparently they conduct thorough background checks to see if you have a history of violence or outbursts, among other things. Really wish they did this in every country. The police does a great job at times it is difficult to attribute them the respect that should arise.

It's easy to give coppers a bad time... and so it should be. I also respect the work of our comrades in blue, but to keep the rotten ones in line, we need people to be extra, extra critical about police work and procedures. I see it like this:

[*] if you see "look at what these policemen did!"-websites, it's just a sign that people are keeping a close eye on them
[*] if you see an awful lot of those said websites, then it's a sign that there's something wrong with the law enforcement
[*] if you don't see those sites at all... well, in that case, we're royally screwed

I managed to fuck up a triple post, because the god-dang-it EDIT button is missing

I don't log on when I come to DAC, instead I hit quote when I want to reply to someone else or edit my own posts, then type in name/pw, then back button and reload.

That makes the edit button appear.

Maybe you had a different problem.

[POOPERSCOOPER]

Why can't the officer just aim for the legs and disable the person instead of having another thing for them to carry on them. Both are pretty deadly anyways?

[Retlaw83]

Aiming an actual gun is hard - it's not like the videogames - and arms and legs are small targets, especially if your target is moving.

[SenisterDenister]

Aiming a gun isn't hard if you know how to do it.

[Kashluk]

It actually is. Especially when it comes to pistols. Anyone can hit a moving target with a rifle, but be my guest and try doing it with a .45er. Under stress. In poor conditions. In a hurry. Possibly with the fear of death included as the suspect is acting dangerously. And also, shooting someone in the leg isn't as clean and tidy as the movies make it look like. There are actually main arteries, so a big round in the leg might actually be more lethal than, say, shoulder area. Bleeding to death can be pretty fast.

[Blargh]

All these problems, and many more, would be solved if arms (possibly legs also) were banned.

[Kashluk]

Why not legs as well?

[SenisterDenister]

The only pistol's I've fired were an M1911 Colt .45 ACP and then a collection of .22 pistols, and besides the kick on the .45 it was fairly easy to line everything up and get a hit. That said I never fired at a moving target with it.

Rifles and shotguns are easy to aim with, though. Also I have about nine years experience with them via skeet shooting then dove, duck, deer, and turkey hunting so that might be why I don't think its difficult. With a shotgun all it takes is lining up the sights and following through the target's movement, I don't see what would make it so difficult.

Going bear hunting this coming winter. Belated high school graduation present from my dad.

The problem with pistols is you have to train often, and with the same pistol - even those of the same make and model have slight differences - to become highly proficient. The job of cops isn't to shoot people; they carry guns to intimidate and as a form of self-defense. Also, unless they know it's a dangerous situation going in, most cops don't respond to situations toting shotguns that could fire these electrical rounds.

It's very difficult to shoot someone who is trying to avoid it, especially if they're shooting back. In 2007, there was a shoot out in a Pittsburgh neighborhood between three cops and a guy with a MAC10, with both parties running through the streets and taking cover. It ended when the suspect ran out of bullets. Investigators determined over 930 rounds were fired in the exchange. Neither the cops, suspect or bystanders were killed or wounded.

[Blargh]

Why

A - I have already addressed this point.

B - Because stomping a trachea (for example) is an excellent way to influence the behaviour of others while also being an effective form of exercise.

K - I have already addressed this point.

930

Youboob/similar would be just ducky.

That sounds like an incredibly dangerous present!
