One shooter is using what looks like a folding stock SKS rifle.

Yep, the reporter just called it a "Folding stock SKS assault rifle".
It was a shootout between rival gangs in Fort Worth at a Gas Station. Ben |
|
I would provide a link but www.NBC5I.com does not have a story for it.
Ben |
|
Gang bangers go to the range even less often than police officers. |
|
|
Neither. The guy emptied a whole SKS detachable magazine using the beirut off hand and didn't hit a thing if I recall correctly. You could see him hold the rifle up with the pistol grip hand at an angle and fire. Gangster firing an SKS..I NEVER thought I'd see the day! Ben |
||
|
Was he holding the gun sideways? That could explain why he couldn't anything. |
|||
|
There is no mention of it on their website. www.nbc5I.com Otherwise I'd post it. You guys should know that, me being the post whore that I am. ben |
|
|
looks like Mexico is still ahead... i assume the types of gangs around there are from South of the border? |
|
|
From what I remember he actually hit two other GB'ers and two bystanders. Nobody seriously hurt though. This happened late last week. |
|||
|
I had it on TIVO from earier in the week. I will get around to uploading it later today.
|
|
Thanks man! Appreciate it. Ben |
|
|
Just out of curiosity, why would you make such an assumption? |
|
|
So, how do I do that? I didn't think that Tivo files were compatable with anything. |
|
|
? It's not something you see everyday. Ben |
||
|
Composite out to my Mini-DV camcorder, Then MINI-DV to my computer. That is why it will be later today before I get to it. |
||
|
WOW! That's a lot of work. You are the man if you get this uploaded!!

It is up at:
Banger Shootout (divx required) I lost the original file from earlier this week, this is the one that aired today. Only real difference is prior to the shooting, the guy in white shirt walks from white car to his, pops trunk, and pulls out gun. This video takes it from there. |
|
Is there anyway to get it on mpg? Or anything else other than avi?
|
|
Unfortunately, you are incorrect. SKS's get confiscated on a regular basis. |
|||
|
did it have the bayonet on it? Its the bayonet that made it evil.......the damned bayonets.......
|
|
Your assumptions suck watch the video and stop being so racist |
||
|
I've seen them at out at Alipine "practicing" on the 100 yard range. The only think I can tell you about them is: If they are shooting at you from 100 yards. Just stand still and you'll be fine. R. |
||
|
Bumpfire maybe? |
|
|
I know, DPMMN needs to layoff the EE a little. BTW, I didn't mean the rifle as something you don't see everyday, but the way the shooter was aiming the rifle. Ben |
||||
|
Where did you find the video? ETA: First page, me likey. Probably a combo of bumpfire and beirut offhand. ben |
|
|
Notice how the reporter put extra emphasis on "SKS semi-automatic ASSAULT RIFLE.
Ben |
|
MPEGs are too big. What are you using? Unix? |
|
|
Thanks for writing in to NBC 5. I will notify the reporter of the error and let the newsroom know that in the future, the word "assault" should not be used when talking about this particular weapon.
Thanks again for writing in to NBC 5. Elvira Sakmari Executive Producer NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth Interesting information from our reporter on that story... -Elvira Sakmari Executive Producer this particular rifle had a 30-round banana clip that was illegal under the newly lifted assault weapons ban... so tehcnically you could argue that it became an assault weapon simply by making that addition to the weapon -Brett johnson, NBC5 reporter |
|
What a fucking Dbag how can some thing be defined under law if the law doesn't exist |
|
|
Can I get the assholes email addy, I want to edumicate the idiot. |
|
|
www.nbc5i.com I'm pretty sure you can find ol' Bretts email there. Ben |
||
|
So technically the place the shootout happened should be called a "Speak Easy" because the sale of alcohol was prohibited under the 18th amendment. |

|
download it, then download this, and convert it www.tmpgenc.net/ |

Yeah go ahead and write and give the guys at the station a good laugh. Do you really think they care or will change? 99% of the people in this country think it is an assault rifle or assault weapon and the mere technicality of a naming CUSTOM is no big deal.
You sound like some foamer complaining about a reporter calling a diesel-electric railroad engine a diesel engine or the engineer or motorman the driver on a commuter train. You know what in the grand scheme of things It DOESN"T freaking matter. |
|
Then why do we call our senators, congress critters and governors? They're all out to ban our guns so why don't we just Bug in/out, put on some tinfoil and shout "HALT-BE THEE FRIEND OR FOE?" at anyone who walks past our homes? Ben |
|
|
Yeah, we get nothing but good people illegally crossing our southern border why would you even entertain the idea that it would be an illegal alien gang? (yes, a lot of the gangs around the border states are illegal aliens, heh) |
|||
|
Only if the 18th were still a part of the constitution... |
|||
|
YUGOSKS, your avatar is hilarious. I don't think Sgt Schultz would have carried an SKS though . Where are you in the DFW area? Ben |
||
|
Do they no longer teach grammar and spelling to 'journalists'?????? |
