I write in response to to the existing reviews, which demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of how guns work.
One reviewer complains that the shooter, who is armed with a rifle among other things, should have been taken down by the cops using handguns. Another complains that the bad guy has his head and neck exposed, and implies that shooting him was a breeze.
This is simply ignorant. When you are firing at a gunman with a handgun, you don't take head shots, because they are almost impossible to make. Shooting someone in the neck is even harder. It would have taken a miracle to hit a subject in the neck or head. These armchair sharpshooters betray a complete lack of understanding of how a firefight goes. If you are only armed with a pistol, versus a rifle, your odds of killing the shooter are minimal at best.
Equally at sea is the claim that the cops should have shot the bag the shooter had. If these reviewers think that just shooting a bag with pipe bombs will result in an instant explosion, they are wrong. Shooting a propane tank does not cause a huge explosions. Nor does shooting a pipe bomb.
Television is replete with bad ballistics. Shooting lights out with a gun does not result in spectacular fireworks. It just results in those lights going out. And if you shoot someone who is standing still, they do not go flying backward: They just fall straight down in a heap. If they are running toward you, they fall forward, not backward.
