now granted it wasn't a high powered rifle or anything, but the guy managed to hit 4 police officers with a revolver which at most has an 8 shot capacity but more than likely had a 6 shot capacity, or even 5, now thats anywhere from 4/5-4/8 shots at a minimum that hit these officers when he was taken by surprise, I'm not sure how many cops could pull that off caught by surprise and under extreme stress. As a side note, those of you who are thinking you'll shoot it out with the ATF or swat when they come to take your guns, note that even though he hit 4 officers, only one was really critically injured, the body armor gave the cops a distinct advantage. I thought this article gave some great insight on both this guys ability to react to a disadvantageous situation and the effectiveness of the heavy body armor used by tac squads.
