ban all vehicles! its the only way to stop this from happening again.

Please don't give them ideas.

Maybe do a Kinetic Energy calculation and show them how much more dangerous the car is.

Or, bring up this one

Looks more like an HK 43.

They use the HK 417 to shoot from helicopters too but the stock doesn't seem to match.

I agree, the first pic was either a 43 or 41. MP5s don't generally have a flash suppressor.

I knew you would show up.

Also 9mm is not the best caliber to stop a car or a small aircraft.

He is the keeper of the evil black rifles after all.

That would be the .50 BMG since the Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 Watt-Range hasn't been invented yet.

Science only applies to "climate change".

Nobody "ploughs" anymore, do they?


Back when I was in the Army in Germany in the early 70's they had little VW Beetles for city police cars but they had Porsche 911's on the autobahn. All green.

Saw some of these being installed last time I was in Vegas...

The posts can withstand a head-on collision from a 15,000-pound vehicle traveling 50 mph, officials said.

They could do even better if they would angle them toward the traffic.

They could do even better if they would angle them toward the traffic.

But not as aesthetically pleasing.

Those things are impressive.
You can find any crash tests online of the different bollards and anti-vehicle gates.

Here stopping a 17,000 pounds truck at 50 mph.

And they still go up and down after such a crash.

One of those would be great in a garage. No more tennis ball on a string.
