Including the guy throwing grenades in after his team mates have run in...I mean they only affect you on CoD so that's how it works in real life too, right?

Sure if I get shot all ill have to do is cover and breathe once heavily and should be okay.

Hope no hostages were killed. What an absolute scumbag, anyone with a known history of spouting this stoneage rhetoric, and especially with a history like his, should not be allowed to roam freely.

unless there was a second gun man it seems at least one has.

Interesting. I couldn't find it googling.

A mate told me about his experience with a flashbang caused him to vomit repeatedly. I certainly wouldn't want to experience one.

They seemed to be using something along the lines of an m7a3 though a bit more amped up than the normal anti riot ones.

Could easily be one of the police officers too, until more information as to who is injured and who has died it's all just speculation. I mean it could also be two hostages, or two officers etc.

Bringing the wrong flag kind of suggests the guy might not be a hardcore terrorist, but rather some loon with a gun. My moneys going on him getting shot at 3am.

and this weeks lottery numbers will be...

Just amazing to see how many people here have been trained by commandos from the Australian Tactical Assault Group.

Its a CS grenade, but they seemed to be using something of similar style that bounces around making multiple bangs minus the gas emission.

Sky news reporting 1 confirmed hostage dead, and the hostage taker.

That's the two confirmed dead.

So sad, nip into a cafe for a coffee and a lunatic ends up causing your death. Knocks me sick.

RoboCod · 15 Dec 2014 at 16:32

yeah one hostage dead.

elmuzzy66. · 15 Dec 2014 at 16:32

Sky news also reporting that the terrorist opened fire 1st so the police had to storm the café. The police didn't plan on storming the café.

Amazing isn't it. Lots of us here in the military and still wouldn't like to comment

I blame airsoft personally.

Man Haron Monis is currently on bail for a string of violent offences and has a conviction for sending offensive letters to the families of deceased Australian soldiers, the BBC's Jon Donnison in Sydney reports.

Sorry but it sounds like this guy should have been sectioned a long time ago if the authorities were doing their jobs properly.

I think he's ticked nearly all the hardcore Islam nutter boxes...

honour killing of wife, sexual offences and now hostages/bomb threat... just needs a conviction for bumming small boys to complete the set

Indeed. He should have been deported in 2010.

Very very sad but it could have been so much worse, i hope all those injured survive and make full recovery's to stick two figures at the dead gunman

If i had to put money on it I would have said someone tried to tackle the guy... he opens fire killing the hostage and police go in.. maybe a couple get hit in crossfire... Police take him out.
