Did anyone watch the FBI Files program on the Discovery channel last night? They depicted the famous Miami bank robber shootout.
I was kind of struck by the fact that the FBI knew that the robbers were packin some good heat - Ruger Mini-14 in .223 and that they didn't carry corresponding firearms to arrest these mean robbers. They appeared to be carrying revolvers primarily and maybe a couple of Sigs or Browning HPs.
From what was depicted, hardly any of the standard 9mm, 40SW, nor 45 ACP cartridges would have been successful. They needed armor and car door piercing rounds.
They surrounded the robbers' car and were shooting from the rear and front primarily through glass and metal.
I was really proud of the latino agent who with his blown apart arm, used his good arm to rack his pump action shotgun to stop them from leaving the scene and finally finished the robbers off at point blank range with his revolver.
Real story about being prepared and having the right tools for the job.
