<p>Regarding pistol accuracy I've fired a glock at the range and I'm a fairly decent shot, much better with a shotgun or rifle though. </p>

<p>Everyone is thanks to the difference in barrel lengths.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For most people, if the target is >10m away, they're better off throwing the pistol.</p> -

<p>They are not as inaccurate as the above posters all believe. </p>

<p>You're the exception then, I'm sure you could put a round through a fleas ass from 200 metres even under periods of extreme stress.</p> -

I regularly fire a glock and I can assure you SammyC you don't want to be doing it for real at much over ten metres. And that is if the nice man trying to kill you kindly stays in the one spot long enough for you to hit him.

<p>So how does you theory about shooting an assailant in the leg work out then? You bet your life on making that shot? Or are you just prepared to bet other peoples lives?</p> -

<p>You'd all be safe from me. I went clay pigeon shooting and didn't hit a fucking thing.<br><br>
I hate fucking pigeons. Especially those fucking clay ones!<br><br>
Course, I was trying to hit them in the leg....</p>

<p>Shooting is a funny thing, I went claybirding with a mate of mine who was best in 3rd form with a rifle ( 97 out of 100, I got 70 odd ) I was much better at the claybirds though, he took 9 shots to even hit his first one whereas I got 8 out of 10 first time. ( clearly there was a couple of misfires in there )</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Well I assumed that police have a little more training than me in the art of shooting a gun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I forgot, it's the New Zealand police force.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bunch of corrupt incompetent dickheads in my opinion...... :fishing:</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>lets see how many pages of outrage I can get from that one statement</p> -

Claybirds very different to a rifle IMHO , you get way more time to aim since the targets not moving obviously , you probably have way better hand eye coordination than your mate . Speaking of which I bet Nick Willis hand eye coordination must be out of this world and he's probably slowing down a bit with age, maybe his Olympic future is in the skeet team? -

<p>Are you trying to be ironic or funny or are there bases to these accusations ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think I have your type pegged, the kind that whinge about the awful police state you live in run by Nazi pigs who oppress your right to grow illegal hydroponics and do nothing but sit on their arses giving tickets yet also the first to cry if they don't red light to your place in two seconds flat if you hear something go bump in the night.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah you know me so well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Examples..... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lets start with the 2007 commission of enquiry into police conduct (identified 300 women who had suffered from police misconduct).. and Greg O'Connors response in 2012 when asked if they had implemented the reccomendations in said report (called it "ritulistic humiliation of the police force)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What about Louise Nicholas and those arseholes Shipton and Schollum?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tena Pora? Lets frame a young slow brown kid instead of looking at the evidence</p>
<p> </p>
<p>David Tamiheri? plenty within the NZ legal communtiy who consider this a police stitch up</p> -
<p>on the basis of your posts over a few topics, there isn't much you like about NZ, why are you still here, or are you tied to your desk?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and I know a lot of cops, and I guarantee not a single one is corrupt or an incompetent dickehads.</p> -
<p>Mark Lundy, David Bain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although these 2 may have been guilty, the subsequent retrials show that the original convictions were shoddy and probably corrupt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other examples.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Arthur Allan Thomas - Lets plant the evidence so we look like we are doing our job</p>
<p>Peter Ellis - What a disgrace of an investigation</p>
<p>Roast busters</p>
<p>Urewera (so called) terrorist raids</p>
<p>Numerous deaths in police custody</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And the IPCA.... so the department that is supposed to investigate police corruption is the police itself! That makes no sense to me</p> -

<p>I love New Zealand,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a great work life balance. 25 hours a week over summer, spend most of my time in the great outdoors running/biking/snowboarding etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I don't have a blind trust of the police force like the rest of you. </p> -

<p>I'd just shoot the intruder in the leg :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>everyone knows the police don't respond to call outs like that. Too much money in writing traffic violations.</p>
