Gun robbery at Sembawang Singapore pools
-
If the gun isn't maintained, it really put the user at risk. Now the mystery is how the gunner got the gun. Is it during the times he's in the Secret Society ?Originally posted by newmanmback:manufacture of guns and ammunition involves not only material selection but more of precision engineering...when you apply di=ouble action or pull the hammer of the revolver, the trigger mechanism index and rotates a fraction of the cylinder cam at a stand still position of the centre every hole that houses the round....unless the revovler is geting old but a well maintained one show not have off-centre problem causing the hammer not locating the bullet ignition cap...of course i won't save i am right there may be exceptions.....
i dun know how the guy got the gun....if its old and is not maintained...he may be putting not only his victims but himeself at risk!

Let me get this right.. the security officer was a CISCO officer.. so he was also armed. But it was reported that he thought the suspect's firearm wasn't real..
He is damn lucky that the bullet didn't hit its intended target.. -
maybe not, but a .44 Magnum canOriginally posted by launtpc:Revolvers need to retime the clockwork... and .357 can't hold a @#$! to a .40, especially the Colt Python.

in general, revolvers are more powerful. but really, a gun's power depends on what it's chambered for.Originally posted by dragg:i have the impression pistols are more powerful. -
it's not. its just that the slide is locked back so it looks like one. Its definately a compact carry automatic.Originally posted by LazerLordz:The tragedy of it all.
The other chap that pinned the robber down was a naval officer.
The pistol looked like a sports/competition pistol. -
er, which bullet is not out to kill?Originally posted by chunyong:wah, hollowpoint...out to kill siah... -
thanks. whoa that is certainly not an obselete weapon. It at 1st looked to me to be a S&W Mod 659, 2nd gen high capacity 9mm. On closer scrutiny, due to several details such as the barrel not extending past the lower frame of the gun, I can positively identify it as a S&W 669.Originally posted by cornyfish2000:The report in today's chinese papers:

a sidenote. I think its safe to say thay even with the Desert Eagle .50 AE around, a revolver is still the most powerful handgun.
Behold the S&W .500:
compare the .500 SW round to a .44 magnum and u'll see why this IS the daddy of all handguns.

and the fun thing about a Smith & Wesson 500?
The CNC machines were fired up and the new X-Frame Smith went from idea to finished product in a matter of months. HereÂ’s the fun part: The new S&W .500 Magnum costs about 20% more than their .44 Magnum. But it is a full TWO AND A HALF TIMES AS POWERFUL as the .44. And it carries a lifetime warranty.
And part of a humorous article I found online talking about when the S&W 500 got introduced:The big iron was unveiled to a stunned audience in mid-February at the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) show in Orlando.
Well funny!
The wire services picked up the story and instantly there was a legislator making the hilarious proclamation that this new gun would be the "weapon of choice" for inner city gang members (the politicians' code phrase for "young black criminals with gold teeth and their pants falling off.") Memo to Rep. Danny Davis: For years you people in the gun-banning crowd have been telling us we need to ban guns that hold too many rounds of ammunition, fire too many shots too quickly, are too small and light, too easily concealed, or too inexpensive. The S&W .500 holds only five rounds, cannot be fired rapidly by anyone (even an expert), weighs as much as seven of Smith & Wesson’s small revolvers, is only slightly easier to conceal than a bowling ball, and retails for almost a thousand dollars. I personally think this last fact makes the .500 the gun bargain of the decade, but I defy anyone to claim that a US$987 gun is "inexpensive." As a final note, Rep. Davis, I would pay good money to see one of your gang members fire the .500 while holding it on its side, as is the fashion among would-be gunsels in the ‘hood. Said gang member would be ready for a lot more of those gold teeth

HP cause more tissue damage than those non-HP one mahOriginally posted by HENG@:er, which bullet is not out to kill? -

Wondering how he smuggled the firearms in 30 yrs ago
-
i must say, the S&W 669 is certainly a very beautiful gun...
-
I believe 30 years ago, firearms laws were much lax or they still permitted limited private ownership.Originally posted by sbst275:Wondering how he smuggled the firearms in 30 yrs ago -
I think it is still possible to smuggle small firearms here today. during day 2 of the CNY at around 11.00+ pm there is someone below my block playing with firecrackers. The traditional kind that will litter the whole floor with lots of red paper.

chey the robber should have used a Automatik-Kalashnikov 47...

you think this is hong kong?

How I wish pistol got amor piercin bullet
-
why dont he go jb and rob singaporean instead?
at least wont get caught... -
The gun so ugly, the old man dare bring out some more.
Plus so old think he some sprightly young man from HK gangster movies? Hold the gun steady also cannot already.
They say if found guilty he will be hanged. So I think that means hes confirmed going to be hanged. Who else but him could have discharged the firearm?
Like that also need to pay the courts to figure out?
The ah soh sell fish also can know. Dont need waste tax payers money for another circus act at the SUPREME COURTS OF JUSTICE.
He should have just smuggled the gun out to Malaysia sell to those underworld ppl can make back some money. But dont think its worth much anyway... unless collectors item. -
Too heavy for old man to hide and carry all the way -- he tumble down the stairs even before reaching the lottery booth..Originally posted by ceecookie:chey the robber should have used a Automatik-Kalashnikov 47...
Don't use AK47, might as well use a M4A1 with M203 or the best, a Benneli M3 shotgun or a LAW. -
shoot 1 shot = death penalty, might as well discharge the rest of the 9 bullets
but wa lao, call himself a gun owner when he missed a shot not more than 10 metres i suppose?... either he just scaring or hum ji don't dare fire the net shot..
even the first time i shot a 9mm pistol in thailand, i could get all the shots within a 50cm dia circle at 15metres.. -
one advantage of a revolver everyone missed... it doesn't leave the shell casings behind..
good for roberies cos it's harder to trace the gun without the casings..
unless u bother to pick up the casings from a pistol after killing someone -
I think after this incident, CISCO's business contracts will shoot up... as it is the only commercial security company in Singapore to provide armed guards for a fee. No one in the right frame of mind would attempt to rob a pair of them escorting the cashier.

if u hav a revolver and a pistol firing the same type of ammo same calibre the revolver should be more powerful since the full force of discharge is behind the bullet. as for pistol, part of the discharge is used in ejecting the spent cartridge and feeding of a fresh round. unless of course if the blowback force is neglegeable in the process.Originally posted by HENG@:in general, revolvers are more powerful. but really, a gun's power depends on what it's chambered for.
