You're wrong. A .22 can kill.

Faced with either, which one would you choose?

You know the point im making, a .22 calibre would have to be fired either directly at the skin or at a weak spot to pierce the body, such as an eye, or in your case, up your own arse.

Why so snarky?

New Zealand Police are to review the firearms laws after it was revealed the gun suspected of killing a police officer yesterday can be bought over the counter or on the internet by anyone over the age of 18.

 

Sergeant Don Wilkinson, 46, is believed to have been shot dead by a powerful, gas operated, rifle which shoots a pellet similar in size to a conventional.22 calibre rifle round.

 

A colleague is in a comfortable condition in hospital after also being shot while the pair were engaged a covert police operation at a suspected methamphetamine laboratory in Mangere East in the early hours of yesterday morning.

 

Police Commissioner Howard Broad said today he would be reviewing the Arms Act and the availability of air rifles

 

"Policy responsibility for the Arms Act is actually mine so I will have a look at that."

 

The New Zealand Council for Licensed Firearms Owners says airguns have become increasingly powerful, and some are the equivalent of hunting rifles.

 

"Some of those air guns are as powerful as a high-powered hunting rifle," the council's executive director, John Howatt, told Radio New Zealand.

 

"You need to have a firearms licence, training and be assessed by police to have a high-powered hunting rifle.

Bit different, seriously doubt AC was carrying around a gas operated rifle, **** me you could probably take out a car engine if you had enough pressure behind the pellet

Last night the New Zealand police were hunting down a suspect, a shaven headed 5' 6" black man who was leaving the scene on foot wearing a blue Adidas soccer shirt before getting into a diamond encrusted, pink Range Rover.

I think you may be on to something there SIP.

Tell me that was a joke?

 

Also, regarding Coal walking around with a high powered gas pumped .22 air rifle, I rather doubt that Coal would actually own anything but the top of the range rifle, can you see him walking around with his possee knocking off hedge sparrows with his BSA hurricane?

It's bull**it! Just read the NOTW page.

 

If you were shot at from 5' with one of those guns, it would definatly go through your clothes and enter the skin. I have shot pigeons & jackdaws from 40' and the .22 slug has passed straight through the bird and out the other side.

It was probably an accident or something. However much of a tit he is, I can't imagine him just pulling out an air rifle and deliberately shooting the work experience kid.

 

Have you read his autobiography?

Unless he thought he was Tommy DeVito for a mad moment?

surely an airgun is a gas operated rifle? what with air being a gas and all

think people are confusing a .22 rifle (rim fire) with a .22 air rifle. A .22 rifle needs a firearms licence but, providing the air rifle makes less than 12lbft, doesn't.

Am I missing the point here - (can't be arsed waiting for the NOTW story to load on my steam driven computer) - but WTF is he doing with a high powered rifle / airgun / even water pistol in the changing rooms FFS.

 

Proppa gangsta innit.

 

Can't wait to see the photos of it from his mobile phone - if theres any space left on it what with all his sexual conquests on there an all.

 

Total wanque spanner.

Cashley must have an incredibly small penis if he has to show off by taking an air rifle with a muzzle (silencer) and night scope to work to show off his manhood to his mates.

 

I mean Air Rifle range about 20/40 yards if lucky and you need a night scope on it.

 

Oh dear oh dear I truly fear for the future of mankind when it allows potential future Darwin Award winners to reach a level of Global celebrity

Oh and memo to Tom Cowan

 

Dear Tom, we notice that you are a student.

 

We fully understand that in these troubled times, being a student can be an expensive (and dangerous) career choice.

 

We wish to point out that our firm of Grabbitt Scratchitt & Runn, Ambulance Chasers par excellence will be pleased to represent you in your claim for damages.

 

Based on the fact that already you have been away from work, we believe that you should aim to sue Mr Cole for two weeks wages to cover the time off work and for one years wages to cover for the mental trauma, anguish and damage to your personal reputation and future employment prospects.

 

ie put simply, you should be able to sue the c*ck for around a couple of million quid - you lucky sod, you'll never have to work again!

If this story is true then the law need to throw the book at him, it is irresponsible idiots like him that give the shooting community a bad name.
