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

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 50 points 1 month ago

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.

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

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 1 month ago

You aren't required to fire until empty.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 17 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

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

SOP upon hearing an acorn

...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 1 month ago

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

[-] Halosheep@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

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