(I was chatting with a guy yesterday about a Steyr SSG sniper rifle I've had my eyes on. With a Kahles scope and match grade ammo, it's been shown to produce 9-inch groups at 1000 yards...just the thing for reaching out and touching someone. It turned out, after we'd talked for a while that he's with the SWAT team for one of the local major counties. He understands full well that many of those he may be called to go up against are equipping themselves with the most advanced countersniping weaponry available to anyone. )
What round does this thing fire? .223 Rem, .270 Win, .30-06, or .22LR (Just kidding!)? BTW, what kind of groups can I expect to get from a MAK-90?
As Lucky and others have noted, if the sentence for drug- or gun-dealing is death, as it is in more and more countries (when bribery fails, of course), then law enforcement will increasingly lead to Waco-type standoffs...military firefights.
Sounds like "If I'm dead anyway, I might as well take as many as I can with me." God help us if we ever come to that, because it would be ugly.
If this be war, unleash the dogs of war, or make the most of it, or however that line goes.
