There are 8 POWs but 9 ๐Ÿ’ฅ

[โ€“] [email protected] 130 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The first ๐Ÿ’ฅ was an acorn hitting the car.

I just want to say that I understand the reference for this and for anyone wondering there was a video of a cop who thought an acorn falling on a car roof was a gunshot and he immediately empties an entire magazine into a car while wildly combat rolling like a terrified toddler.

The body cam footage would be hilarious if it wasnโ€™t so fucking terrifying.

Oh and โ€œthe carโ€ was a squad car after detaining an individual. Both officers dump their mag, but, yeah, acorn cop started it. Guy won a ton of money, rightfully. Lucky he didnโ€™t die.

And yelling "I'm hit! I'm hit!" at his partner, who then also shot at the vehicle.

๐Ÿ’ฅ is the actual gunshot, the POW is just the cop loudly saying POW every time he shoots but he forgot the last one

[โ€“] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

The last one was the gun exploding.

Clearly this is an action movie gun, where clip size is inconsistent.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'm going to be the annoying pedantic person, but most guns cops carry have magazines and no clip. I say most to be safe, but it's probably all, except maybe a few sheriffs with revolvers or something.

the only good cop is one carrying a fucking m1 garand

There's nothing wrong with saying clip in this context. The only reason to object is if you're being annoying and pedantic and you've forgotten that there can be more than one term for the same thing.

Nobody is confused by saying "clip", nobody thinks you're charging a glock mag with a clip from the open ejection port. There's like one gun in history that uses both clips and detachable magazines, so if we're talking about that specific gun and the difference is operative to the point, then you can complain.

This is similar to people insisting on "firearm" over "gun", or "suppressor" over "silencer", or "round" over "bullet". Some of them might be more technically rigorous terms but unless you're discussing the finer points of gunsmithing or ballistics you usually don't need to care.

Also, remember the golden rule of pedantry: if you understood well enough to correct them, you don't have to correct them.

I mean, fair play, but my comment was hardly real world accurate in it's entirety.
Good shout though.

that last ๐Ÿ’ฅ was a different kind of weapon discharge ;)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

reloading! don't know why the old cartridge exploded

That's just realism, the gases didn't reignite this time
