A drive by in the Baswich area - wonder if they're 'straight outta' here :

Hopefully they will all die horribly when their car is hit by an artic, saving the taxpayer the expense of letting them off.
Would be more satisfying to see them do a bit of jail time being ‘Big Leroy’s Girlfriend’ but you are probably right. Will be let-off with a caution (if by some miracle the police catch them) when 7 folks minding their own business could have blinded.

Clearly a bunch of t**ts with nowt and I hope the Police catch them, plenty of cameras in the area to review as it could have led to an injury.

However, talk about over sensationalism by a headline, hardly gang warfare just a bunch of pricks with nothing to do, not good but nobody hurt thankfully, no risk of life from plastic pellets.

So if the pellet puts an eye out that's ok then...

Picture of the G363 mentioned in the report.
Whoa ! don't know about fate providing an artic truck to wipe out the perpetrators, but would think there's a good chance of getting blown away by the actual police poking this out of a car window in the current climate :

No, but then who said it was ?? Nobodies eye has been put out from what I understand.

These guns are used recreationally including in more paintball arenas.

They cannot be adapted and should not be penetrating skin with the right pellets. But they bloody smart if one is not wearing gear and you definitely wouldn't want one in the face with no protection.

However, my point is the drive by shooting headline is over the top.

I read that and i thought how terrible, first thought of casualties or serious injury or potential terrorist attack with bullets.

I started reading expecting the worse and was quickly underwhelmed considering the headline and actually quite thankful it wasn't as one would normally associate when hearing the term drive by shooting.

Who ever used that pic needs to learn how to use google images in a better way, that is a SCAR-H automatic Rifle.

The G36c or as they call it the G363 is massively different.

It sounds like they were using a gas powered airsoft rifle, that you should need a license to purchase. hurts like heck when hit by them, but not fatal

Hardly worth investigating then.

Those hit by the pellets should just man up. Bloody time-wasters.

I googled G363 and it turned that up that image. The difference between the two might be a fine distinction when a few years ago a man was shot dead carrying home a table leg that police thought was a firearm

Think I am going to get myself one of those. If you are popping out in Stafford looks like you need to be armed. Beware anyone in a black Corsa rolling up on me......
