“Reload” is what makes it real.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 26 points 5 days ago (3 children)

But is there an American police issue weapon with 8 shots 🤔

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 49 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Many police can and do carry their own firearms. I could see a rural or just general chud cop carrying a 1911, which is 7+1.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Good knowledge. Real it is

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Makes it a bit easier to gauge if you're feeling lucky, punk.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistol#Users

Wikipedia lists some use by SWAT and such but it doesn't mention any normal police use in the US.

It wasn't his first romantic encounter of the day.

Aren't most handguns equipped with 13-18 rounds?

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (4 children)

You aren't required to fire until empty.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, but do the cops have the necessary restraint to not pull the trigger until it clicks?

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

I guess it does remove the requirement of being able to count

SOP upon hearing an acorn

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago

...but, but, they were scared! They were forced, no, coerced into firing until empty, because of the cruel crime of the missing license...

[–] testfactor@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

True, but I don't know why you'd reload after 8 if that were the case.

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

Backup ammo in case you need to tactical reload before shooting the concerned bystanders.

I love that I knew exactly what classic it would be just from the bash.org archive link

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Bash.org died? So we now need an archive of an archive?

Took me a while to realise that it was talking about the non-police role-playing as police.

Not police role-playing sexual scenarios, like it’s some regular daily part of their job.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Before realizing it said reload, I thought those were classic truncheon impacts.

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Must be nice to live in some kind of heaven where cops don't mag dump in the presence of a loud noise

I don't, but my onomatopoeia for gunfire isn't pow. That's for bludgeons or fists. Batman-style.

Significantly better as just the screenshot, but POW 💥 POW 💥 POW 💥 POW 💥 POW 💥 POW 💥 POW 💥 POW 💥

just while chatting about police brutally

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

This is funny but I doubt that comes up in casual conversation, ever.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 days ago

if you don't comment on how cute they are then no

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

It's not even that funny tbh
