But is there an American police issue weapon with 8 shots ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] [email protected] 42 points 1 day ago (1 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.

Good knowledge. Real it is

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

You aren't required to fire until empty.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

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

SOP upon hearing an acorn

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

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

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