There are 8 POWs but 9 ๐ฅ
The first ๐ฅ was an acorn hitting the car.
I 100% heard an acorn hit a car that other day and my first thought was that it was a gun shot. I'm not being sarcastic. I laughed to myself afterwards
I just want to say that I understand the reference for this and for anyone wondering there was a video of a cop who thought an acorn falling on a car roof was a gunshot and he immediately empties an entire magazine into a car while wildly combat rolling like a terrified toddler.
The body cam footage would be hilarious if it wasnโt so fucking terrifying.
Oh and โthe carโ was a squad car after detaining an individual. Both officers dump their mag, but, yeah, acorn cop started it. Guy won a ton of money, rightfully. Lucky he didnโt die.
And yelling "I'm hit! I'm hit!" at his partner, who then also shot at the vehicle.
That's just realism, the gases didn't reignite this time
๐ฅ is the actual gunshot, the POW is just the cop loudly saying POW every time he shoots but he forgot the last one
that last ๐ฅ was a different kind of weapon discharge ;)
reloading! don't know why the old cartridge exploded
The last one was the gun exploding.
Clearly this is an action movie gun, where clip size is inconsistent.
I'm going to be the annoying pedantic person, but most guns cops carry have magazines and no clip. I say most to be safe, but it's probably all, except maybe a few sheriffs with revolvers or something.
I mean, fair play, but my comment was hardly real world accurate in it's entirety.
Good shout though.
There's nothing wrong with saying clip in this context. The only reason to object is if you're being annoying and pedantic and you've forgotten that there can be more than one term for the same thing.
Nobody is confused by saying "clip", nobody thinks you're charging a glock mag with a clip from the open ejection port. There's like one gun in history that uses both clips and detachable magazines, so if we're talking about that specific gun and the difference is operative to the point, then you can complain.
This is similar to people insisting on "firearm" over "gun", or "suppressor" over "silencer", or "round" over "bullet". Some of them might be more technically rigorous terms but unless you're discussing the finer points of gunsmithing or ballistics you usually don't need to care.
Also, remember the golden rule of pedantry: if you understood well enough to correct them, you don't have to correct them.
the only good cop is one carrying a fucking m1 garand
ping
Probably just a misfire...
Excuse me seriously please and thank you?
