Yup, the bmg would be the block buster.
Right again Kug, the coppers carry .40 cal, I believe this is the maximum caliber for police in Ontario in sidearms.

Too many young people watching Dirty Harry movies before becoming cops! Or, Training Days with those cops from 55 Division. LOL
So I guess one could say that,...if a cop shoots at some one,...he/she intends to kill that person.Virtually every North American law enforcement agency uses hollow points; they'd be foolish not to. They're more effective at stopping the threat by creating a larger wound channel and have a lower chance of pass through both by way of expansion.
But not a car.

No, he intends to stop the threat that the person is presenting. The law as it stands says that he cannot shoot a car. It's pretty clear.So I guess one could say that,...if a cop shoots at some one,...he/she intends to kill that person.

The RCMP's ancient, issued Smith & Wesson 5906 is chambered in 9mm, as are CBSA's Beretta Px4 Storm Type-Ds; but that's likely because their firearms program was a direct lift from the RCs' training and logistically, it's probably easier that they share the same standardized cartridge. Hell, FBI have made the switch back to 9mm after the fact that they were largely one of the agencies pushing the 10mm and subsequent .40 S&W. But I digress, municipal agencies in Ontario stick with .40 chamberings.9mm...who carries 9mm? Not the cops. A "dessert" eagle, with whipped cram and a cherry on top? BTW, a .50 AE won't penetrate the block, you'd need a .50 BMG.
Given that most cops hardly every fire their weapons 9mm is likely a good choice for them. More rounds means a higher chance that they will actually hit something as they blast away with little skill...
A higher caliber round makes more sense for anybody who actually practices.

While you're at it, ditch the 9+ lbs triggers so they can actually hit what they're aiming at and train them better so they don't have negligent discharges with regular triggers.Given that most cops hardly every fire their weapons 9mm is likely a good choice for them.

We both know that a lighter trigger would result in more cops out on disability after shooting their own foot.While you're at it, ditch the 9+ lbs triggers so they can actually hit what they're aiming at and train them better so they don't have negligent discharges with regular triggers.
You just made me LOL... and not at you!We both know that a lighter trigger would result in more cops out on disability after shooting their own foot.
Guess leg shots would be understandable under those circumstances. :biggrin1:We both know that a lighter trigger would result in more cops out on disability after shooting their own foot.
