Marlin camp carbine?

[LibKill]

A quick google shows uzi makes one, wonder if it uses handgun ammo?

That would be an affirmative.

I wouldn't buy it though. I only own one 9mm weapon and only because it is a collector's item.

I can't remember which FReeper said it, but: "A 9mm is a .45 set on 'stun'."

Personally, I keep a loaded .44 handy at home. Kinda noisy, but I will never have to shoot anything twice with it.

[Dead Corpse]

9mm is perfectly adaquate. Depends on the round used. If these had been Noseler XTP hollowpoints, the perp would be dead. As it is, it was probably standard 115gr FMJ. Good for poking small holes in paper, useless for almost anything else.

[Mr. Mojo]

But I highly doubt that was the firearm used in this story.

[Dead Corpse]

That Storm is the ugliest gun ever, IMO. Make one in .50 AE or .500 S&W and I'll be impressed.

Fine.

The nice thing about a .45 is that you don't need expansion. It is already big enough.

[eastforker]

Same here, once would probably be enough. Of course my shotgun is right next to the .44.

[Zeroisanumber]

Guy needs a bigger gun. It takes 3 9mm to do what one .45 could accomplish.

[Dashing Dasher]

The 2nd Amendment has always been my favorite, as it ensures/insures the others!

VERY good point!

[TC Rider]

There are quite a few 9mm carbines (short rifles) available on the market, Beretta Storm, Kel-Tec Sub2000, and HiPoint Carbine to name but a few. All available for around 500 or less.

They are all easy to handle and to shoot.

Too bad he didn't get off at least a double tap.

[mylife]

Im betting it was a hi point 9mm carbine, pretty compact and cheap and plenty dependable.
Ugly as sin but who cares in the dark?

[mylife]

yes and for 600+ I wasnt impressed

[mylife]

Ahh yes, I forgot the Kel Tec

[FreePaul]

There are some 9mm rifles such as 9x39 and 9x57 but I'd be surprised if this guy had one. Probably just more reporter speak.

[Thumper1960]

He oughta be fined for aiming too damned LOW!

[eastforker]

9X57 sounds like an awsome cartridge.

[LibKill]

He oughta be fined for aiming too damned LOW!

Or not low enough. A few inches lower and the rapist would sing in a higher key. :)

[Chi-townChief]

Didn't Dirty Harry cap some dude in the same situation?

"Well, when I see a man running naked with a hardon behind a chick, I don't assume he was collecting for the red cross."

[FreePaul]

9x57 is pretty old but probably still in use. It was developed from the old Mauser 8x57 military round.

[Thumper1960]

Ouch!

That made mark!
