No, they used 85 cartriges..
Dunno about you but if I use a cartridge but don't use a bullet in the process, I get really upset....

As far as Germany being small and homogenous, there are nearly 100,000,000 Germans, and nearly 20% of them are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants.
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/gm.htmlGerman 91.5%, Turkish 2.4%, other 6.1% (made up largely of Greek, Italian, Polish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish)
white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic
SHNOMIDO:
street gangs in the USA border on civil disturbance.
Pick up 100 Gangster Disciples out of chicago and 100 mexican mafia out of texas and drop them on both sides of berlin.
Give them 6 months to set up competing crime and drug syndicates and see how many rounds the police have to fire that year.
Its not a gun problem its a gang problem.
That's cute. So, longdayjake, did they just throw the 'bullets' at the bad guys with their hands, or were they loaded into cartridges? It's called semantics. Every mainsteam media report I've read or watched on TV regarding firearms was biased, filled with technical inaccuracies and full of major flaws. How many bullets are in your clip?So, rampant_colt, are you really trying to say they didn't use 85 bullets?
Because they did. I am pretty sure the projectiles that came out of their barrel can be called bullets. Only in badly made movies do entire cartridges come out of a barrel. Or maybe the Germans were in Weird Al movies.
How many bullets are in your clip?
Any comparison between Germany and the US is invalid before you even start. Homogeneous population,
And of those immigrants, most are European who already share a values system.
Germans heard of Rodney King and said, "What did he expect? He runs from the police, risking the lives of innocent people....."
I was thinking the exact opposite - maybe part of the reason German cops fired so little is that they don't go so nuts when they do have to shoot - thinking about the recent thread about the NYPD shooting 80-something rounds at a guy and wounding him 17 times.I dont think it would be unreasonable to believe that all 85 of those rounds were fired in 2-3 incidents.
