What's his sidearm? Isn't the whole point using the same ammo in both?

The 5.7 is the perfect caliber choice for bikers with heavy coats and possibly armor because it will nuetralize the target with not causing any damage to a by stander.

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN fix stupid - it's just illegal.

LOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

But seriously.

This is my favorite line when people spend hours debating "THIS VS THAT" caliber.

It's so pointless, when the correct question they should be asking is "can the hit be accomplished by the shooter".

People have been killed by dumb luck shots and some have survived from a torrent of bullets aimed directly at them and hitting them (.40cal)

This, IIRC and my facts are straight.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The shooter will always matter more than the gear ever will.
Stop relying on others to do the work for you.
Shoot more, worry less.

The PS90 is a really nice weapon in my view for this kind of situation. My mags would not contain a single type of round but several stacked. Start with a Ss190 followed by a fragmenting round followed by a incederary round. All my shots would be head shots or groin shots. It's hard to shoot back with a bullet to the head or one in the pelvis ( makes it very hard to stand up) I wish I had a pub type weapon when I was in the Mob ( British Army)

The head is, all things considered, a pretty small target. Two in the flak, one in the sack.

The P90 remains an impressive weapon for SWAT when most shots are in confusing and close areas. Glad to see this here in Texas.

As an aside to this, there is an issue with the quantity of thugs in jail, McLennan County DA is overwhelmed. We may see many of these thugs here in Austin, Texas at the Republic of Texas (ROT) Rally in Austin, Texas on June 11 - June 14. Travis County, Hays County, Bastrop County, Williamson County and several police agencies will have their hands full.

50,000 bikers are expected in Austin, Texas.

I have a Magpul MS3 sling on my PS 90 and I like it for the versatility and fast adjustability. The one the sheriff's deputy is using looks like a simple sling that can't be configured as a two point sling and back to one point.

Traveling through Austin many times a week, and staying overnight there very frequently, I have seen the RoT Rallies several years.

Some of the bikers attending are definitely unsavory, but the vast majority of the ones I've run into are actually friendly

I see the Sherrif's deputy with a P90 and a plate vest but NO P90 mag pouches. What gives with that?

Even a civilian like me has two double mag pouches on a load bearing vest for my PS90. (The Vest Guy made them to my order, MOLLE compatible.)
