Or pushed out a “winder” as Archie Bunker would say.

Do they make those for lefties? That thing is going to be real uncomfortable to shoot for a lefty.

These filth are getting their hands on decent weaponry. Not good. Highlights the need for good citizens to be armed.


This is the difference between 1960s cop killers and now. The current terrorists have way upgraded weaponry.

The good news is that We the People have also upgraded our weaponry, and many more of us are armed.

Depends on the body armor used (soft, hard, thick, thin, etc.). Also, most armor plates cover vital regions (e.g., heart, chest,), and not the entire body. Also depends on the decision of the officer to wear/not wear armor that day.

That is about 3 grand+ worth of hardware...give or take.

Those MeproLites are not cheap, and neither are the Tavors.

Somebody was well funded.

Yes they do, a big selling point for brass ejection. The hot IWI weapon now is the Tavor X95 bullpup, which just came out.

But the angled fore-end is an ebay special.

Most departments issue IIIA vests. Will stop all pistol calibers. NIJ level III (stand alone rifle) vary in weight from 2.9 lbs (DKX) to 8-10 lbs for AR500 steel. Those weights are per plate, so X2 for front and rear coverage.

Knowing that rifle fire is inbound, wearing IIIa gear, and still running toward the gunfire....

Brave, honorable folk!

Check. 20.00 on amazon for the chicom knockoff, or 48.00ish if the original, made in the states. The Keymod forend is also an add on. Regular forend is more polymer.

I hope it doesn’t have a shoulder thing that goes up because that would be REALLY bad.

Oh, oh, it's one of those scary Israeli bullpup “mouse gun” rifles. That rig, with its expensive holographic sight, costs $3,000+.

That is what the media will call it, even though it about like an AR-15 as is a Ruger Mini-141.
