Since Glock doesn't manufacture a smooth bore handgun, if whatever you owned was a smooth bore then you bought one with an after market barrel put into it by a moron.
As for the "contest," there's simply no need for it. The problem comes from you know enough to couch your "informed inferences" in cool sounding language that will cause those who know even less than you to buy into it when they shouldn't be. If you don't know much about handgunning, don't bother.
And as for your "I worked for a living" crack: officers aren't the only ones carrying handguns. I challenge you to suggest to a gunner, tanker, MP, and so on that they don't work for a living since they carry sidearms
Stuff happens. you should have seen me trying to figure out embedding videos here.

It makes zero sense for anyone to start shooting cops, when the department is being held accountable.
What does make sense is that agent provacateurs would do so in order to take away from the progress that has begun since the report came out!
i had them (A3) at one unit for what seemed like a blink of time. i was basically a few months from PCS when they got them and then the next unit i had went from A2 to A4. I actually prefer the A2.

Curious. I thought the Navy had the vast, vast majority of A3s, if not all of them.
Also thought the Army had gone to the M4 well before the A4 made its debut.
Oh well.

I agree it sounds pretty unlikely he used a hand gun. But then maybe it was just dumb luck. Maybe he just popped off some rounds thinking he's scare people or maybe hit one guy and that is just how they went. It may not have been good shooting at all. Handguns typically hit other people in the area instead of the targets anyway most times. It would be consistent with other shootings in that sense.
Still a bit fishy though. But it could still change too, who knows.
