dcsw53 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Would like to think the owner of the gun is for the high jump, but being Thailand I think not, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 ....a Police Officer shot once into the air in an attempt to stop the vehicle. Imagine staying in a high rise hotel block and sitting alone out on the balcony enjoying the view. Would your insurance company believe you when you file a claim for being shot?

chrisinth Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Maybe the police officer that the gun is registered to is realizing the folly of his thinking lending it to this idiot, if he did so. If there had been an incident where the weapon was discharged, it would trace right back to him. I would be wishful if the arresting officers really did pursue this if only to let this fool know how many high ranking friends he does actually have, or not as the case may be.

Ohio Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Trying to think how far a Handgun can fire when the average Bullet speed is around 1100 fps. In 1969 it was found that the 'Warning' shot fired into the air is life risking folly that does not work. Love to meet the BIB Firearms Instructors. Or don't they bother with training ??

FangFerang Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 "The suspect claimed he knew many high ranking Officers and should not have been stopped." and "The suspect was later identified by one of the Police Volunteers as a member of a Music Copyright team who illegally seize audio equipment from businesses and demand payment to return the equipment."

This would be another case of it's the farang's fault, who (investigation would show) had actually paid the man to run the checkpoint so the shot could be an inmsurance scam. Evil farang.

HOOD Robin Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Another "know it all" who thinks his sh#% doesn't stink because he may know somebody.....The BIB should have shot at him and not in the air.....Could have done away with this scumbag Today they catch this guy, tomorrow it's another one, it will never stop... It's very frightening all those scumbags carrying weapons (many times cops involved "selling" them) If one day we are at the wrong place at the wrong time..... Must drop these guys in a cave deep under the ground and trow the key in the ocean.... Maybe it will become a little bit safer out there....

Zumteufel Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Trying to think how far a Handgun can fire when the average Bullet speed is around 1100 fps. In 1969 it was found that the 'Warning' shot fired into the air is life risking folly that does not work. Because of the bullet falling down again after having lost its its momentum? Seems like an average handgun bullet travels around 1.3 miles / ~ 2km (http://askville.amazon.com/shooting-gun-bullet-travel/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=3928729). Maybe my Newton is a bit rusty, but this tells me the falling bullet would have a final drop speed like v = sqrt(2*a*d) = sqrt(2 * 9.82 m/s^2 * 2000 m) ~ 198 m/s ~ 713 km/h ~ 443 miles/h Could do some damage all right. P.S.: How on earth do people do these calculations using emperial units? :-s Edited October 22, 2013 by Zumteufel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
