If it were a .45, the wall wouldn't be white.
If it were a .45, he wouldn't have been able to run away.
Use your god damned brain.

No idea why you're being downvoted, it really looks like he used blanks. It's not like you're advocating blanks over live ammunition, you're just making an observation.
No markings/holes in the wall
No blood
Basically 0 recoil while firing one-handed

The giveaway that they aren't blanks is because the gun is actually cycling. Blanks don't cycle a guns slide

That's a handgun, it'd struggle to go all the way through a cup of water. There's no way in HELL it'd splatter - it moves too fast, is too small and doesn't have enough energy behind it. You'd need a shotgun for something like that. You can even see a pretty sizable nick in the wall where he(assumedly) missed one of his shots.
Don't know why you're thumbed down for speaking the truth.. **** what everyone wants to believe. They were prob blanks given the observation you made.
No you ******* idiot, but bullets still make a small hole in the wall no matter the gun. Don't need to be a gun expert to have common sense
Unless they're hollowpoint, which are the most common for small arms.
Hollowpoint rounds are made to expand when they hit someone, preventing them from exiting the body.

No, but you can see not every shot hit the robber therefore striking the wall. Did you not catch that part??? Hollowpoint or not if a bullet hits an objects, it's going to leave a mark, even if it's a residue mark. Nothing was there, therefore justifying the bullets to be blanks.
Given the super low quality of the gif, and the fact that there's a news article citing this video, stating the dude died from gunshot wounds, I'd say it's not very likely they were blanks.

why would an armed invader miss all of his shots give up his attack and run off and die if he was only being shot at with blanks?
you can see the gun in the black persons hand and you can also see that both guns were fired during the incident.

You play too many video games. You are also an idiot.
What are hollowpoints if you carry anything but hollow points or some kind of fast expanding defense round you are asking for over penetration and the possibility that you will accidentally kill somebody else that you had no intention of harming.

That'd be a smart thing to do in Sweden actually, our self defense laws are ******* ridiculous. If you shoot a robber and he doesn't have any firearm you will be convicted of manslaughter, if he's got a knife you gotta fight him with a knife, if he only has his fists you gotta fist fight him, but be careful not to punch him too much because then you can get convicted for assault. You also can't threaten someone for a longer period of time while waiting for the police because that counts as something called "frihetsberövande" which literally translates to "freedom deprivation" and that is the act of restraining someone for a longer period of time against their will which is illegal.
So yeah, if you manage to get a legal firearm (Which is darn difficult over here.) it might be wise to get blanks and shoot like a maniac to scare the intruder away, but don't tell anyone as you might get convicted for unlawful threats.

I refuse to believe that, seeing as Norways laws and Swedens laws are usually pretty similar. Most likely you have a self defense law, which basically allows you to shoot someone if your, or someone else, life is in danger. ***** coming at you with a knife? Shot the ************ .
However, if you continue your "self defense" after the target is no longer a treat, then sure. Also, someone who is trained in self defense can't shot an unarmed man unless a physical take down isn't possible. Judge will simply go "There was no need for you to shot him, seeing as you're trained you could've done a less harmful maneuver. I remember a few years ago someone defended themselves from a burglar, but got a fine for it himself. Made a huge ********* on facebook. Reason was that after he knocked the burglar out, he kept pounding him, probably for revenge.

We have similar laws, yes, but I know for a fact that our self defense laws are ******** . I recently wanted to get a self defense weapon and I ideally wanted to get a gun, but after reading about the law I came to the conclusion that the consequenses were too grave for it to be worth it so I decided to have my baseball bat ready instead, even that's risky, but you likely won't kill the "victim" with it. I also entertained the thought of putting my battle ready sword beside my bed in case a bad guy tries to kill me, but it's way too easy to accidentally murder someone with a sword and that is jail time.
Also, if someone attacks you with a knife and you kill him with a gun you WILL be convicted of manslaughter.
The problem with the laws surrounding excessive force is that you can't blame someone for continuing to punch a potential murderer after they're down when your own life is at stake and possibly your child's/wife's life, etc. Adrenaline is pumping and you're full of rage, if you just go "Alright, that's the exact force I needed, I shall proceed to call the local authorities and an ambulance so that this poor man won't get any permanent injuries and that he gets a fair trial." you are a ******* robot.

It's not that difficult to get a firearm in sweden, theres more than half a million firearms here which makes it higher than the average firearms per capita ratio in the EU atleast.
Of course compared to USA, it seems difficult to get a gun in Sweden.
You CAN threaten someone for a longer period of time while waiting for police, it classes as a citizens arrest and the requirements are that the crime witnessed is punishable by imprisonment and that you contact authorities as soon as plausible after apprehending the suspect.

That's because we have a lot of hunters, I'm talking about pistols and assault rifles, I wasn't counting hunting rifles. They are not ideal for shooting multiple shots in a short period of time with either and you also have to pay well over a 1500-3000 dollars for it, rounds are extremely expensive (I'm not even sure you can get blanks over here for those guns by the way.) you also need to register with a hunting club or whatever it's called so the average city boy from Stockholm who has never set his foot out in the wild before can't just get a license and hang a gun up on his apartment wall in the middle of Stockholm without using it for anything.
It is not legal under most circumstances to restrain someone in your home unless you are 100% certain that they are there to burglarize or hurt you, the odds are not on your side if the dude is unarmed for example.

You can get a pistol with a hunting licence, most are 22' or 9x19mm but the .357 smith & wesson and .45acp 1911 are both categorized as eligible hunting weapons in sweden.
If a person is in your house and you restrain him there will be no issue unless the court rules that you used excessive force.
Youre right about the licence thing though

You might be able to get those, but never for self defense. If you are not a hunter you can just forget about getting a legal firearm for self defense purposes.
For the restraining issue, I still believe that you can barely get away with it and even if you don't get convicted you will with 100% certainty lose your license even if you merely threaten a criminal in your own home and killing in self defense basically never ends well even in obvious emergency cases.
One example I can think of is something that happened in a smaller town in 2007, a gang of teenagers had been harrassing a 19 year old mentally handicapped boy for a long period of time, as well as his sister. They had also assaulted them a few times and damaged their father's property several times. He had reported this to the police who did little to nothing about it.
Anyway, one night the gang stepped onto the man's property armed with melee weapons (Probably bats, knives, metal pipes or something of the like.) probably to assault the boy, possibly his sister and damage the house. The father panicked and went into the yard with a shotgun and shot and killed two of the teenagers, the other's got away unharmed. The handicapped boy called the police shortly after.
This man obviously should've had the right to defend himself and his family, but he was convicted of manslaughter. Luckily he didn't get jailed because he had psychiatric problems, but if he didn't, he'd surely get jail time. He also had to pay 21 500 USD to the "victim's" family.

******** . Even civilans have the rights to stop criminals and detain them till the police arrives. There's plenty laws about this, but just look up paragraph 48 I believe, might have to search around a bit for nødverge paragrafen in our laws. That one states that you're allowed to kill in self defense, if required of course.
That kind of seems like another extreme, wouldn't it be pretty to get away with murder if you can just claim it was in self defense? Just stab yourself with a knife and shoot the nearest person in your house and claim he attacked you.
>Just stab yourself with a knife and shoot the nearest person in your house and claim he attacked you.
Chances are the person who attacked you doesn't have a clean record.
If you stab someone "near" you chances are that it's family or someone you know, and they're going to want to know why you did it. There will be a trial if there's even a sliver of a chance you did it.
Knife angle would be all wrong if you stabbed yourself, would show up in court.

But the guy said that there is no further investigation if you kill them in your own home, that's why it sounded easy. I also don't mean to literally just stab the first person you see, but if you want to kill someone you could invite a stranger to your house, shoot him, then stab yourself and then say he attacked you with a knife.
>But the guy said that there is no further investigation
He probably means under the perfect circumstances of there being an intruder and the intruder having prior offenses, maybe there's evidence of a break in, etc.
The cops aren't fools, they'll investigate it and if there's anything suspicious they'll take you to court where you can still win.

Well the amount of "too good" situations is pretty high in the US. Usually the person involved in a home invasion DOES have prior convictions or a violent crime past. Very few people are shooting their neighbors. So the cops have a pretty easy time of it (letting you off)

Wouldn't surprise me, when street fights erupt the last man standing is usually always the main suspect with the worst odds in court and unless you have very strong evidence that the knocked out guy striked first you're looking at serious jail time for it and even if you can prove that it was in self defense you are still looking at excessive force that will be in your police record for a long time, knocking out someone is guaranteed to get you in trouble.
>unload capgun at thug
>he kills you and rapes your daughter because you didn't fill his chest with lead
Yeah good plan.
>he kills you and rapes your daughter because you didn't fill his chest with lead
Yeah good plan.
Relying on nothing but "fight or flight" to scare people off isn't the best of ideas, since "fight" is an option there. Yeah, he might be afraid, or he might be pissed off.
You'd be better off with a bat or a collapsible baton than a gun with blanks.

Im sorry but if someone's shooting at you with a gun you're not gonna assume they're blanks and think " **** it I'm gonna run at this guy or try to fight him." Anyone is gonna get the **** out of there. But regardless in countries without open arm carry, you cannot have a gun with blanks anyways so that idea doesn't make any sense. And most countries require special gun permits and no open carry because even though in rare cases this gun could come in handy, in many situations it could be fired with poor judgement on a situation leading to the ultimate price a person can suffer that no person should have a decision over. That is why we put them in the hands of highly trained people to make these split second decisions. I'm not saying that you or the next person aren't fit or qualified to use and decide when to use a gun properly, but I'm saying there are ********* of people who are ******* retarted when it comes to these things. I bet you anything for every instant justice video you see like this where it was used properly, there were a thousand instances where the gun was used improperly
Oh. Well have you tried moving out of the dystopian police-state ******** ?
You should totally do it. Despite the "mass shootings", it's safe enough here, since you're allowed to defend yourself.
Not really, since deaths from those are surprisingly low.
Well, most of the states are absolutely massive, so it's hard to encounter all types of people.

Aren't hollow points illegal as **** , though? As far as I remember, any kind of weapon and/or ammo designed to maximize pain is forbidden by Geneva Convention.
Pepper spray is illegal under the Geneva convention, too...
But those laws regulate international warfare, not civilian use in self defense.

Why is pepper spray illegal, though?
It falls under the classification of a "chemical weapon."
I was probably thinking of some other kind of ammo then. Therefore, the question mark.
But good thing there are people around who are able to calmly explain your mistake without the need for name calling or excessive down thumbing /s

when you have to work 16 hour days in the sun with few breaks then go to night classes nothing is ever calm unless you smoke a blunt. But i do realize i came off in a rude manor and should have tried to correct you in an informative/educational way and for that i apologize.
Nope. The AR right next to me is loaded up with a full mag of hollow point varmint rounds. Not that i plan on shooting squirrels and **** with it. It's so i dont put holes in my walls if somebody decides they wanna break into my house.
Dude, those rounds are moving at like.... 3,000fps. FMJ or HP, it doesn't matter, at point blank , it's probably going straight through the robber and right into the next room
you'd be surprised at what can stop a bullet. When they hit and mushroom out, they loose LOADS of speed. Most ive ever seen a varmint round penetrate (ballistics gel) is 10 inches at the very most.

I see now. I was watching a video by tnoutdoors9. He was getting 14 inches of penetration at 50 yards, but he was using 75 gr BTHP. The extra mass probably gave it the extra penetration. I am curious however, what type of penetration they would get shooting from point blank.
My M&P Shield is loaded with gold dot. My dad is holding onto some Black Talons in his Sig P226 in case **** goes real haywire on his property.

Hollow points are not meant to maximize pain, they are meant to maximize death... A hollow point mushrooms the second it hits something, and in addition to being more lethal, it also means that it is less likely that the bullet will go through the perps body and/or walls and hit innocent bystanders/family members... As you can see in the picture, the 9mm rounds that penetrated the least expanded/fragmented the most.

newepic (12/08/2015) [-]
IIRC some states they are illegal and fmj are legal for self defence, while some states its vice versa. Mostly because tthey have a higher chance of killing some one and the cops of those states debated that they would rather be shot by fmj then hollow point and in some states the civillians want hollow point since they want too be sure that possibly high adrenaline filled robbers die as quick as possible as well as making sure that all bullets either stop inside the perptrator or the nearest object that it hits. My brother was in the military and he told me the old ag3 our military used was dubbed something like "wife killer" because the powerful 7.62 x 51mm NATO would go straight through the sand ****** s, the brick walls and hit the wife in the other room. Similar thing happend to americans that were fighting drug filled pirates in Somalia, it would take minuts to kill the crazed ******* with regular 5.56mm so they wanted somthing bigger and so we got the beautiful monster that is .458 SOCOM. Moral of the story is, ap/fmj rounds take time to kill and have a high chance of collateral damage, while hollow point and other similar rounds kill alot quicker and much more effeciently. hollow point has been dubbed "cop killer" many places, mostly why it is illegal. /rant Pic related. Upon inspection it looks like a small vibrator lol

Hollow points aren't designed to maximize pain. They cause "undue" suffering in a war environment because if your ball point goes through one baddie and into another who cares, but in a civilian environment if your bullet goes through your target and into the civilian on the other side than you're screwed.
We can buy ******* AP rounds in the US even incendiary tracers
If we're talking about same hollow points, they are designed to spread as much as possible once inside persons body, maximizing internal organ damage.
I might have confused it with some other kind of ammo, been a while since I kept track of stuff like this.
I might have confused it with some other kind of ammo, been a while since I kept track of stuff like this.
While they do cause more damage, they are designed to not carry through the body and stay in the first person they hit.
How is avoiding collateral damage insane? They were first used by cops, because they didn't want the possibility of hitting anyone standing behind the target.
We can own just about anything except for rounds involving chemicals illegal for civilian use.
This includes anything registered as a "destructive device", meaning you can totally own an AT RPG-7 grenade, a landmine, flashbangs, but you have to get them registered.
You cannot however, own anything made with depleted uranium, white phosphorous, or any other material otherwise illegal to own.

you can own WP, just can't be in a grenade form when you buy it. The match head on strike anywhere matches are red phosphorus topped with white phosphorous. I know it's pedantic, but this stuff's important if someone wants to build their own WP grenade.
