That's OK. A friend sent me the same joke by text. I did laugh, but it's getting boring now
just got this one, it's even worse
Manhunt in Northumbria on BBC
- Thread starter footman
- Start date
just got this one, it's even worse
Must be quite a bit of organisation going into this... I'm curious now about how sealed off this place is... could I just walk in along a seldom trod footpath, or are policemen surrounding it? I want to know, but I'm too bust to go to Northumberland and see it for myself atm.
Also, if I was Mr Moat I'd run away to The highlands somewhere and hunt sheep.
It is interesting to see pictures of policemen effectively being soldiers though, it's like a mini police state.
Anyway, hope nobody else gets killed, but interesting nonetheless.

It may be more than that. She may feel her son is so far gone that only death will be a solution to his evident inner torment.
Until you're in that situation you don't know, so you should cut her a lot of slack.
look if its splashed on the front page of the Tabloids then I'm entitled to an opinion on it arent I ?
And I'd be happy to give her all the Slack she needs.
Northumbria police have put a £10k price tag on Raoul Moats head. If he doesn't get caught by next Thursday it goes up to 20k....making it a Raoul over.
so basically if you kill him this week you get an extra 10k for stashing his corpse for a week? (or keep him tied up if you dont kill him) surely thats worth the price of some tempory storage rental.

Von's striking back, a vicious left right combo to magick's stomach!
Magicks staggering, he's getting back into the fight... OWWWWWwww Von has delivered a knee in to his side!
And it's an uppercut to the jaw, Magick is out for the count!
That... was... brilliant.

Are they comparable though ?
The HK modified L85 is designed as a military grade weapon with a longer barrel and capable of fully automatic fire. ( As I'm sure you are aware of ).
The G36C which is almost the standard police carbine these days is capable of single shot fire only with a shorter barrel and is not designed with military use in mind.
As a military weapon, the L85 is the better option. As a police weapon, the G36C is the better option.
The G36 military spec rifle better than the L85 ? I dare say it is.
LOL at Dark Angel.

The police get to use expanding ammunition unlike the military...

I don't have any issue with that T. A round that dumps most of its energy on impact is far less likely to exit and cause collateral injury or death.
So easy to take cheap shots from the comfort of your armchair eh
More chance of getting a direct hit than on the ground in the uk.
From where I'm sitting it looks like the beginning a police soap opera.
Why don't you judge her on her abilities and not her hairstyle or looks - this isn't celebrity big brother
Really, it looks like the C4 replacement.

Well that's debatable. You could go around in circles for ages arguing strengths and weaknesses on paper, I prefer my own experience. Of course the point I was making was that H&K as a brand is better, but I can see I posted myself into a corner so I'll argue it out
At the range and for the duration of a 'normal' contact, the G36C would be perfectly up to the job. Of course a shorter barrel means less accuracy at range, but it won't lose that much, and to a degree that can be negated by good marksmanship and field skills.
The L85 does offer fully automatic fire, but if you use it at all then it's used briefly to get their heads down. A magazine through an L85 lasts less than 3 seconds on automatic, with the best will in the world you aren't going to be able to carry enough ammo to keep that going long. I didn't care for the L85 much before the conversion, there were a lot of issues. After conversion, some of the jamming issues and general issues (cocking handle re-design) were sorted, but the build quality was still tonk. H&K did a great job with it, but you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.
I've used a number of different HKs however and have found all of them to be superb: the MP5K PPW, HK53 and my beloved G3. H&K build quality is superb. They can fire without drama when contaminated, are incredibly accurate and just make me stiff basically.
