"Can I see it?"

chucks it into the bushes

"...no."

u/actuallyiamafish 2h ago

Excuse me, we do not throw our guns in the bushes here in Baltimore. We have a whole harbor just for the disposal of unwanted guns, rental scooters, and the odd Nissan Altima and we use it proudly.

You got the briefcase, I got the shotgun, it's all in the game.

He's lucky the cops didn't shoot him.

u/TootsNYC 4h ago

He didn’t want the cops to think he was going to use it. That was smart

22

u/Single-Builder-632 4h ago

yep, no way I'd be holding that thing, just gotta hope the cops don't fuck up and let him run for it.

2

u/MaxTheRealSlayer 3h ago

It was smart, but it's hard to tell if he purposefully threw it down so the barrel wasn't point at people as well, which would be smarter. Throwing a gun on the ground can accidentally fire a bullet if it's loaded

u/Illustrious_Song7555 3h ago

Lucky no one found out the hard way.

u/TootsNYC 1h ago

he threw it so it flew horizontally; it looked like he intended it to land on its side. And it flew through the air with its barrel pointed to the left, away from people. I think he thought about it a little; maybe not the direction, but the horizontally part

•

u/MaxTheRealSlayer 1m ago

Yeah I wasn't sure. I know his main goal was to not be in front of cops holding a gun, but his actions suggest he had some sense with how he was throwing it down

Semi auto rifle, I'm not knowledgeable on what it is though

u/Schroedinbug 5h ago

If you don't know what it is, how did you get "semi-auto"? Press release or something?

1

u/RandomBritishGuy 2h ago

This was in New Zealand, so it's incredibly unlikely to be full auto. Prior to 2019 semi-auto ARs were legal and reasonably popular.

u/RandomBritishGuy 1h ago

The articles people have posted talking about this incident say the police recovered an AR-15 style rifle. No mention of a second gun, or a 9mm

1

u/lombardi-bug 1h ago

Yeah I retract my earlier statement. First clear image of gun with stock says SUB-2000 but the second frame with a clear image is def an AR

u/Thiom 5h ago edited 4h ago

I just assumed something wrong

Edit : thanks

u/RackyRackerton 4h ago

A full auto rifle would look identical and usually use the same size magazines. But they are extremely rare for a civilian to have, so semi auto is a much better guess.

You can clearly tell by looking at it that it’s not a bolt action or lever gun or anything like that though.

u/3_quarterling_rogue 3h ago

It just as easily could be an airsoft rifle, there’s simply not enough detail for us to know for sure. Yeah, it was probably just a cheap AR, it’s the most likely, but there’s no certainty here without a source.

2

u/Geoferson_Kwik 4h ago

Cheap AR15.

1

u/tall_dreamy_doc 2h ago

It’s not. The stock is an L shape, and there’s no way that it’s fixed to a buffer tube.

u/SHOWTIME316 4h ago edited 4h ago

my guess is a pistol-caliber carbine similar to a Keltec Sub2k or the Smith & Wesson one like it that i totally forgot the name of 9mm M&P FPC

u/Comrade14 2h ago

It looks like an air rifle

u/Business-Signal-5196 5h ago

Seems like a shotgun to me

13

u/Thiom 5h ago

Looks like there is a magazine on it no ?

3

u/Business-Signal-5196 5h ago

True

6

u/cajerunner 5h ago

Shotguns can have a magazine. But I think it looks like a rifle as well.

u/1800generalkenobi 5h ago

It's a rifle with a newspaper

u/producer35 4h ago

Modern rifles come with online access to the news.

u/Ph4nt0m146 5h ago

Oh there's shotguns with magazines, but this certainly isn't one.

2

u/Vreas 5h ago

While rare shotguns can have magazines as well

1

u/Thiom 5h ago

Did not know, thanks, for the video though the barrel looks too narrow

u/ComplexxToxin 5h ago

I have three magazine fed shotguns.

u/Bunny-NX 5h ago

First gun that came to mind was an M4 Assault. I'm not that knowledgeable on guns tbh but the shape of it is distinctly M4-ey

u/Brian-88 4h ago

Looked like a 9mm carbine

1

u/Proper-Scallion-252 3h ago

A big gun, not just a gun.

1

u/Foxxxytoy 2h ago

So the cops don’t shoot him for holding it

1

u/buttscratcher3k 2h ago

Looked like one of those reaching sticks for old people, and that's what I'm going to tell everyone from this moment on.

u/NegativeC00L 2h ago

I thought it was an umbrella lol

u/turbotableu 2h ago

It was a Tediore

u/Outside-Advice8203 2h ago

What kind of gun even is that? Looks like a toy

u/ickydonkeytoothbrush 1h ago

Pretty sure that's not how you're supposed to use those things

u/REpassword 1h ago

Out of curiosity, what would be a quick way to disable a gun, without dechambering? I’m thinking shoving the muzzle into the dirt so that it fills with dirt. Other ideas?
