You lost the farm. They carry Winchester Ranger.

Oh no. No more federal farm subsidies!

I forgot about that one. In reality, there are a lot of loads that offer satisfactory performance.

In response to my post you stated: "I think it is far more important to observe the BG's body position."

That sounds a bit pompous, but O.K....

My post has nothing to do with what's "important" - it has to do with personal curiosity.

If the truth sounds pompous to you...I apologize, nothing personal intended. I was simply pointing out the most important question: what ammunition was used?

I also wonder if the guy was committing suicide by cop or just panicked and for some dumb reason drew his BB pistol...

I think it is far more important to observe the BG's body position. That is one of the primary reasons the FBI specified service ammunition should penetrate at least 12" and not more than 18" in a standardized test. Consequently everyone who carries a weapon for self defense should know the performance (or lack thereof) of the rounds they carry.

I would almost bet the farm that both officers were carrying either Gold Dots or Federal HST.

I think I would have restrained him and then frisked before moving him while he was in a confined area. But then I wasn't there, so my hat is off to the officers involved. Good job well done.
