Gun movie karate move.....suuuuure....

Over the weekend, flipping thru the channels, I came across "Lethal Weapon 423" or some such drivel.

In it the bad karate guy made a move on Gibson and disassembled his Beretta 92.

Now....THAT's .... a move. Field strip a Beretta from the front while it is pointed at you and leave only the frame in his hand.
 
You are talking about Jet Li. You should check out his other movies, He is one bad Mofo.

I also don't htink its possible to disassemble a beretta 92f in one quick swoop. Is it?

Lethal Weapon 4567456 was a terrible movie but worth seeing Jet Li. :)

BTW, Can you shoot a AK47 under water without it blowing up in your face??????
 
As a matter of fact - it is.
We played with this move in my police acadamy. Look at the 92 - see that take down lever and the button on the other side?

Try it.

The trick is doing that before the gunner blows your spleen out your back.
 
It is possible to do that takedown of a 92, I've practiced a little bit with my own. Now, admittedly that's entirely different from doing it that fast against someone that wants to shoot me, but that's how we know just how bad Mr. Li really is :)

I wondered about the AK underwater also. I figured if any select fire gun would work submerged, that one probably does.
 
Huuummm.......Kind of wanna buy a 92f so I can practice that move.

The only thing is my Sigs might get a bit jealous. :)
 
A firearms instructor at my police academy heard a Beretta owner talking about how impossible that move would be. As he walked by the student he deftly stole his slide assembly, to the owner's, and everyone else's, astonishment. He then handed it back to him, claiming, "Jet Li's not so tough. I'd eat him for breakfast." :)

I should point out that we were conducting a dry class that day, and everyone's weapons had been, checked, re-checked, then checked and re-checked again to insure no ammunition was present. I wouldn't try this with a loaded weapon.
 
That is when you draw your back up and blow him away while he is standing there grinning with your slide in his hand. ;)

(The bad guy, not the instructor.)

Many years ago I was on a black program which had an instructor in close quarter combat. He was amazingly skillful in disarming techniques, but I still remember what he said."If you have good reflexes and understand the techniques you will succeed andin taking the weapon away from him 90% of the time, but 10% of the time he will shoot you several times. If he is demanding your wallet, give it to him! If you think you will probably be killed or captured, take the gun away from him and kill him!"
 
HardBall...I had the same trainin with the same warnings. Takes comittment.

That bit bout the AK makes me want one to test in the bathtub.

Sam....Might as well follow me, I'm already lost, save you the trouble.
 
That technique was one being taught by and to gang bangers in the joint more than a decade ago and was useable on early model Beretta 92s. When this was brought to the attention of Beretta they made a modification to production line models and put out an upgrade to in-service pistols that should prevent it from being done.

I tried taking the slide off with my taurus, but the clip prevents complete removal of the slide. Now it is enough to make the gun useless. I know during some traning with the police down here, that they picked rugers because of that. They wanted it harder to disassemble because the button and lever made it too easy.
 
As for shooting underwater, most any handgun can be fired underwater. The length of the barrel on a longarm would most likely preclude it's use underwater. The pressure of the water in the barrel would most likely be greater than the pressure of the powder burning thus causing a blowup of the longarm in question at any appreciable depth.
BTW the Russians developed several underwater-specific firearms. Very intriguing. Also Glock made a kit to allow one of their 9mm models (don't remember which one) to function underwater.
 
I personally saw Jim Crews do this to a student in my first class with him down in Florida. Yeah... we had not gone hot yet. But the point was not lost on me. I went to a 1911 pretty quick after that. :)

Jackie Chan also did the rapid disassembly trick in Rush Hour, though slightly differently: with one hand, he disarmed Chris Rock and (again with one hand) disassembled the piece. When they're more friendly later, he does it a couple more times.
 
As I recall, the Glock modification was to the Glock 17's primer cup? (What's a primer cup?)

Anyone who extends their sidearm out at arms length 'gainst close range BG deserves to have it taken or disabled.
 
Damn! My mouth shoots off more than my gun. I didn't TRY it........til now on my Beretta.
It........ W O R K S........

Holy feces, Batman.

Couldn't get it past the mag though.

Although I didn't really pull HARD.

Oh well, next time I am up against the tong, I will use the SAA
 
Oleg. No it won't. Maybe with hammer cocked it would. But just taking it off with the hammer down doesn't do anything.

Not striker fired.
 
houndawg & others:

Beretta does offer a replacement takedown latch without a 'finger shelf' which will prevent the disarming technique described. It is available as an agency contract purchase option and to individual personnel as well through Beretta-USA's Product Services Division.

Since my only experience with Beretta is as an issue weapon which has this feature I mistakenly presumed that it was now standard on LEO service weapons as I have one on a 92FS.

Also, prior to this retro-fit, even with the hammer cocked the pistol could be stripped without the hammer falling during the process.
