The "sawed off military assault weapon" was a ruger mini 14. The "powerful armor piercing bullets" were standard .223 ammo

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

This is crazy talk. Off the charts. .223AP???

[DCBryan1]

Only cops should have cop killer bullets, silly! <./sarc>

“If he would have been able to grab that gun, this would have been a lot more tragic. It would have been in God’s hands,” said a police official familiar with the case.

Just wait 'til the ACLU finds out NYPD policy is to rely on God.

Cops said the ammo from suspect Nakwon Foxworth’s sawed-off military assault weapon would have easily pierced the Kevlar shield that hero Detective Kenneth Ayala used to protect his comrades and himself from the perp’s initial 12-bullet barrage from a 9mm revolver.

If ignorance were an energy source, this passage could power a city of 100,000 people for a year.

the perp’s initial 12-bullet barrage from a 9mm revolver.

They not only never seem to know what they're talking about, but they clearly don't care.

[A_Former_Democrat]

And the race of Nakwon Foxworth isssssssssssssssssssssss . ??????

Not disclosed.

[Red Badger]

Why would anybody want to saw off a perfectly good military assault weapon?.............

[bolobaby]

Cops are immune to lesser bullets.

Lesser rounds aren’t “cop killers” so laugh at someone next time they tell you a cop was killed by 9mm. “Ha! That can’t happen! It’s not a ‘cop killing’ round!”

[yarddog]

Well there actually are 9mm revolvers but I have never heard of a 12 shot one.

Typically, any high powered rifle will easily penetrate regular vests tho there are plenty which will take a .223 or Russian 7.62X39. I bet these cops had them too.

[DCBryan1]

Super lethal, super accurate, full auto, armor piercing, weapon of choice of terrorist, women and children hardest hit, mother of all firearms, the amazing, the stupendous, the should be illegal, all-mighty Ruger Mini 14 PING! BANG!

[Never on my watch]

How do the bullets know that they are only supposed to kill cops?

[Texas Fossil]

Fortunately for them all, Foxworth, 33, only managed to fire his semiautomatic before being badly wounded by return fire, authorities said.

He stumbled into his bedroom to try to retrieve the assault rifle but never got to it, they said.

What an idiot reporter. The perp could not fire his semi-auto (rifle) without being able to retrieve it. A semi-auto is NOT a revolver. Reporter need a little education.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Typical media BULLSHIT.
.223 is not armor piercing ammunition
a ballistic vest is not armored.
any bullet that kills an officer is a cop killer bullet and that could be the smallest caliber made.
Virtually any hunting rifle cartridge will penetrate a vest.
The American Media is very dishonest.

[RitchieAprile]

they must mean SS-109 green tip?

[An American!]

.223 FMJ at under a 100 yards will penetrate most kevlar only jackets (IIA or III). Balistic plates will stop it, but the kevlar basically will not stop projectiles at 2000FPS. Works good on 1000 fps and under pistol rounds.

[Mariner]

Have to watch out for those 9mm revolvers too:)

[Manly Warrior]

The only thing worse than inaccurate and non-factual reporting is freeper self-appointed experts swearing that there are no such thing as:

sawed off functioning semi-auto rifles
semi-auto revolvers
9mm revolvers

[Osage Orange]

12 bullet 9mm revolver!!

Wow!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Good luck hitting the broad side of a barn with one of those Mini-14’s. Sawed off even worse.

[READINABLUESTATE]

A 12 shot 9mm revolver, Wow. Un-freaking believable!....Gotta get me one of those! /s
