Chicago’s Fox 32<\/a> reports that Chicago Police Department found a “sniper nest” about a block from Kennedy King College overlooking a soccer field. The police claim to have found a “high-powered semi-automatic rifle”. The rifle was actually a pistol – a Mac-10. The Mac 10 comes in 9 millimeter and .45 caliber pistol cartridges (there’s also one in the 9mm Kurtz or .380 caliber). <\/p>\nI’ve fired the .45 caliber version and, trust me, in no way can it be used as a “sniper” weapon, per se<\/em>. <\/p>\nThe so-called “sniper nest” was a block from the college and I’m pretty sure that you can’t accurately hit a target a block away with the Mac-10 irrespective of the cartridge. <\/p>\n
It’s a “spray and pray” weapon, not very accurate out past about 30 yards. Don’t get me wrong, someone may have been injured if this “sniper” had opened up on a crowd. It’s not a “point” type weapon at any distance, though. <\/p>\n
Since the police don’t seem familiar with this type of weapon, I’ll help them in their search for the gun man – he’s really, really stupid and doesn’t know a thing about guns – he may even be a member of the Chicago PD, if the article is accurate. By the way, I used a picture of a non-working model of a Mac-10 in this post so as not to scare any visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
