That outro song is sooo pleasant!
Do you realize we drive on the left side of cars and right side of road? This ain't the UK
I personally didn't find speed loaders for my old revolver very useful. Just noting.
A U-turn on the I-5? That right there shows how crazy they were! I swear, John...you bring the best stories! I lived most of my adult life in Los Angeles (Valencia is in LA County) and NEVER heard of this! This is actually more tragic than the North Hollywood Shootout.
It still amazes me how low the casualty count was given the almost unfathomable number of rounds fired during the North Hollywood shootout.
It is very true!
It was the 70s though, remember.
Lord have mercy, there was a time when there wasn't a barrier down the middle of I-5?
Lol, not as crazy as driving from the passenger seat! /s
As a car guy John that loves lowered vehicles I love that you illustrated the vehicles all so low.
Thank you!
Neighbor has a cherry old Lemans. All original, low miles & sweet.
@@katiekane5247 I once owned a 1966 Ventura.
Ventura was a 'full size' entry then, essentially a Bonneville with shorter trunk ('boot').
Those were kinda 'low' back then too! We had a '72 Dodge Polara station wagon back when I was a kid - I turned 15 and could drive with a parent present after taking the driver's test. It was a behemoth of a car ...400 CID engine (upsized from the 383 Chrysler used to offer.)
That was going to be a question of mine to John. If he does all of the illustrations himself, as the cars are minimalistic and cool looking.
I'm a CHP officer and worked in the Newhall office. This incident had incredible and long lasting ramifications.
Would you mind elaborating?
@@discoj7112 Officers are more careful and are better armed, I would assume. Traffic stops are (potentially) really dangerous to this day.
Iiirc isn't traffic stops the most dangerous part of a cops job ?
Lol, in the UK I would presume the most boring
@@confusedbadger6275 Domestic viol*nce calls. At least that's what Donut Operator says. They can end up real' bad.
Pussio
Imagine if the idiot had just been patient and didn't make an illegal u-turn.
Or just kept going after the other guy yelled at him.
He’d probably be alive in prison due to their likely failed bank robbery
Or hadn’t pulled out his freaking gun when it was a near miss. Like, dude, just be polite, apologize, deescalate, and go your separate ways so you get to the freaking robbery! If the other guy is angry and wants to know why the hell you pulled that move, just lie and say you’re panicking and in a hurry because you’re trying to get to your wife who is in labor or something, most people will let you go after that and you’re a crook so lying shouldn’t be a big deal.
No wonder they kept getting caught before this, he’s a hotheaded moron.
It does baffle
Criminals are stupid. If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't be criminals.
"His story was about as believable as the use of a chocolate tea-pot." Never heard that particular idiom, and loved it. As always your narration is of high quality and rather entertaining, too.
Thank you
Wtf is that suppose to mean? A teapot made out of chocolate? A teapot with chocolate in it as a substitute for water in the tea brewing process? Something entirely different?
@@bradsanders407 A teapot made out of chocolate. Specifically, a teapot that would obviously melt as soon as you poured hot water in it, a very unrealistic and therefore unbelievable thing.
@@bradsanders407it’s a spin on the idiom ‘about as useful as a chocolate teapot’ ie not very useful, since as someone below said, it would melt as soon as the water was added.
@@bradsanders407 A teapot out of chocolate would melt. Thus it is hard to believe. It is an idiom, a colloquial metaphor, so no need to overthink it.

Things just got interesting ;)
Oh yes
You should write about the Motel 6 shooting spree in Sacramento. Several officers dead, three citizens shot, and multiple stolen cars. It was a Bonnie and Clyde duo, that drove all the way from New Mexico. One of the two involved officers wrote a book about it. "Facing Evil"

Thank you!
Without CC I'd be screwed! Yes I can hear but I'm half deaf in my right ear, and drs won't listen to me when I tell them what they need to do to check my hearing properly for that ear 🙄, but being half deaf and having immense trouble differentiating words and even syllables sometimes, my mom said "finally beat the damn game" earlier but what I heard from 6 ft away was "bloody raining pirate child" 🤦😅🤣, I'd be completely helpless without my CC. It's either TV so loud everybody goes deaf or stick to "watching" and "listening" to movies I've seen over 500 times because I know them word for word off by heart 😅🤣🤣

I was friends with one of the CHP officers involved in this incident. It had a major impact on him and changed his life forever. He left the CHP not long afterwards.

Look at their profile
I can easily believe it
There are three famous modern auto involved shootouts with police (in the USA) where police fared poorly. The Newhall shooting, the Medina, North Dakota shootout with US marshals, and the 1986 Miami shootout. Newhall probably being the second most famous. It is still studied today and I would beg to say that it’s legacy rating should be over 7.
I worked with a lot of Chicagoland cops in the late 80s. Newhall was still a training subject, and it was still talked about by LEOs.
It was also often cited as a reason to equip all LEOs with decent ballistic armor as well as more effective and sustainable firearms. Many departments were still resisting semi-auto pistols; Bewhall, Norco, and Miami were used as examples of why higher capacity and easily reloadable weapons were needed. (Illinois State Police issued S&W Model 39s starting in 1967 and found them to be better than revolvers.)
I'd give it a legacy of 8 or 9 for the impact it had. You rarely see LEOs with revolvers anymore, and cops still talk about it as a cautionary tale.
This completely changed police tactics and range training across the country forever for all police departments.
Paul Harrell has done a video on the subject IIRC - a pivotal moment in police training and tactics.
@AlunB the video he did was excellent.
I'll have to look up the Newhall incident. I don't think I've ever head of it. There was a shootout against the Black Panther party in the late '60's or early '70's. Also the huge shootout in LA against the SLA, the group that kidnapped (?) Patty Hearst.
Here in Wichita we had a sniper on top of the 29 story Holiday Inn in 1976. 3 people die & 4 injured.
In 1985 we had a middle school shooting. A 14 yr old entered Goddard, Ks middle school & killed 3 at the time of the shooting & injured 2-4 others.(I don't remember how many were injured) 2 of the injured died yrs before their time because of the injuries suffered. I'd graduated from this high school in '79. Goddard sits 6 miles west of Wichita. Small city with big time crime. Then we also had the dumbass BTK from '74-2005.
1970? Those were crazy times.
The craziest thing about this case is that every single man was ready to ROCK-N'-ROLL!!!
No infrared sights on Helis that time. Makes it harder to track people. Probably not even SWAT teams.
@crassgop I e
@crassgop we 13:30
Yeah, from the 70s to the 80s, it was the craziest time for serial killers and criminals.
-Hitchhiking was common.
-No or few security cameras.
-DNA evidence was not a thing yet.
-PTSD was not a diagnosable illness, along with a handful of mental illnesses. So some were freed after showing good behavior.
-Child kidnapping was happening because there was less adult supervision than today. An example is the disturbing case of Sylvia Likens.
-Police were under budget and under equiped, especially in smaller towns compared to today.
It was a really crazy time back then. It's hard to imagine more than half these people getting away now with the amount of tech there is.
I love how you can hear John lean over and briefly pause during each outro to describe the weather outside.
Literally my favorite part of every video. It’s so cute
As a retired Police Officer, I can also verify this led to another change. This incident also forced the idea of semiautomatic pistols being carried.
I began my 30-year CHP career in 1980, but we didn't switch over to the S&W 4006 (40 S&W) until the mid-90's. A few changes that occurred more immediately within the CHP were the reversal of the policy that required the hat to be worn any time an officer was out of the vehicle, the elimination of the shotgun 'seal' that necessitated the writing of a justification memo if a round were racked into the chamber, the issuance of Departmentally owned revolvers and body armor, the adoption of speed-loaders, the adoption of better speed-loaders, the mandated use of the new .38 Spl. 110-grain +P+ controlled-expansion hollow point duty ammo during training and qualification (as opposed to the cheaper wad cutters previously used in training), changes in radio procedures, and changes in tactical procedures for high-risk and felony stops, among other modernizations. This event played a major role in our Academy education at the time and I'd like to think it had a profound impact on officers nationwide; not just on my Department. Carry on, sir.
@@RemingtonArmy- what's the deal with the hat rule?
Loved when the narrator said of the marine " ill have some of that" and engaged in a gun fight...priceless
There’s one minor error here, Schwartz didn’t fire at David with a Lee Enfield rifle, he had an Enfield No.2 revolver. This was a common revolver used by British and Canadian forces in WW2 and many of them were floating around the US at this time as cheaper alternatives to larger American revolvers. The No.2 was chambered for .38 S&W (not to be confused with .38 special, that cartridge the criminals had in their revolvers) 38 S&W is actually a very weak round and so when Schwartz fired and hit Davis it didn’t stop him and that’s how Davis was able to take his revolver from him and beat him with it
I am a CNA who works in a memory care unit and last night I had my residence watched The Italian Job with me and I absolutely loved it. I find it so funny that you mention it now in this video lol
What's up with California and 1970 having some messed up events
Probably all the acid and coke
@@vincentmoore7714 it's definitely the coke
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
It beats us marrying our family members or our livestock like many red states. You can still marry an animal in thirteen red states. All supported our last president. Have a nice day.
@@rodgerrodger1839 Hey, don't take it too personally, ok?🤣
John, thank you for this one. A great and sad story. I drive by this area about once a week and always say a prayer for the fallen officers.
You should do one on the Norco (California) bank robbery shootout.
Nah ACAB
@@poiu477 AJAB (all jews are bad)
@@poiu477 😒
Quick correction, at 5:00 you refer to the car as a parola but it's a Polara. Great work on this story.
Came here to say this.
Whoa, you've had to develop new techniques for telling these action stories, and I appreciate these touches--like the new figures you've made for cops and hands holding weapons, and movements like the gun incrementally appearing at 4:48 and the figure flexing at 5:38. Your shorthand for bullet impacts is inspired and simple. I totally swallowed the Grand Prix going all Minecraft in the rear shot--the flexing figure snared my attention and I didn't notice the car until I went back to check the time. So, it's all working great.
I can't tell if you are being serious or sarcastic....
@@NickyBlue99 I'm sincere. I understand his process and want to give him props.
The Death Penalty being "unconstitutional" for murderers caught in the act is tragically ironic.
That’s California for you!!
@@stephencannon3140 That was a SUPREME COURT RULING NOT a California ruling or court, making the death penalty unconstitutional the way it was being implemented. California fixed what the supreme court found objectionable in a matter of months but all those across the nation who were taken off death row after the SCOTUS initial ruling could not, under our system, then be put back onto it. Have you ever thought about KNOWING about something BEFORE you speak up or form an opinion. California is a hugely successful state that is extremely beautiful and has the 5th biggest GDP in the world. Give up the FOX "news" and get out there
Actually, the best example of irony would be killing a person to prove to them that killing people is wrong. Notice how he referred to suicide as “the easy way out,” for the other guy? At least this guy had to rot in a cell for awhile.
Well if i would kill to protect someones life i dont see why i wouldnt kill to get justice for their murder. In my mind im just defending someone.
@@fajile5109 my comment was less of a criticism on the death penalty than it was on the misuse and misunderstanding of “irony.” There’s nothing ironic about modern day justice system of a 1st world country not fully embracing the “eye for an eye” philosophy of justice. However, my criticism of your comment is killing in self defense and the death penalty are different for obvious reasons
Me, not a criminal: if I going to commit a large crime I would not draw a large scene to myself.
These guys: let's do everything we can to draw attention
Most criminals are not the brightest of people. Lol.
Stupid of them. No self control
Holy cow, very a Bonnie and Clyde esque.
I enjoyed the additional melon footage.
Very true!
@@PlainlyDifficult twas as true blade indeed
I lived in that area for most of my life, up until 2019. No one ever mentioned that there had been a massacre a stone's throw away from where my family lived and went to school. This was a wild video for me, to say the least
Always a fascinating video, excellent break down of events.
Thank you
Thanks for this. Sadly it was incidents such as this that caused many members of the forces to fire when things go wrong.
Your story telling is amazing. I wasn't sure I would like topics outside of industrial (& nuclear) incidents, but you tell these so well, it's very much appreciated
Oi, John! That steering wheel on the wrong side mate! lol!!
if criminal scumbags would merely obey common traffic laws they would be more successful. if youre planning a bank heist, buckle your seatbelt, travel the speed limit, come to a complete stop before traveling past a Stop Sign.
Same with folks moving contraband. No tag, taillights out,, busted windshield doesn't improve your chances of success.
@@katiekane5247 like, get an enterprise or something, theyll even pick you up.
People who lack the patience and try for the "get rich quick" scheme probably don't have the patience for obeying traffic laws.
Sir I just cannot say enough about your channel. I'm the 1st time person to say anything. I guess I'm from across the pond in the USA and yes you are absolutely astounding your technique and just the amount of time and effort. You put in these videos in the information put forth is astounding. May it always be Sunny in your corner of the UK.❤
I've seen videos on this story a bunch of times, but I gotta watch the plainly difficult one!
Yay!!!! More crime content. Thanks Plainly ❤
I'd probably give it a 10 considering how the changes this incident brought about saved a lot of lives since then.
I love watching your videos, but the shooting events had so many characters I was confused as to who did what.... I suggest maybe having some tags on the animated characters with their initials & possibly position in the case of police/military
Loving the true crime videos you’ve been posting !!
Really enjoyed this! Thanks John I’m a new subscriber love this channel and your humour. Dave from County Durham
My uncle was a CHP at that time, though in a different area. He says they were given the option to wear a vest but they were very heavy and hot, and you had to commit. This meant that if you decided to wear one, you ALWAYS wore one. Few wanted this requirement, so they just didn’t. I believe modern ones are easier to wear.
Thanks for the consistantly high quality videos over the years John. 1mill subs soon boiiii
I always learning of new cases like this. Thank you
Super exciting seeing you cover events that happened in my old city! Santa Clarita/Newhall don't get talked about too much. You should keep the theme going and cover the multiple deaths that happened at Magic Mountain in the same city! I used to work there and could introduce you to some people who were actually there when they happened.
Hart?
Saugus CA is there too
What a weird narcissistic thing to expect a channel to make videos about things just because they happened in the city you live in
You’re not the main character dude
@@themostdiabolicalhater5986 lol
@@themostdiabolicalhater5986garbage troll but nice try
the patrol cars, late 60s dodge monacos, are still much lauded by law enforcement agents and historians to this day. they actually WERE that good:) engines and cooling systems that could take long pursuits that would frequently long outlast the bad guy. they were roomy, had huge trunks, the brilliant chrysler torsion bar suspension, cop motor, cop shocks, this IS about as close to a real life Bluesmobile as you're gonna get.
Dodge Polara was the utility model used for cabs and police fleets until 1973. The Monaco was the more luxurious version, marketed for normal, private individual sales. But yes, the 69 Polara was very highly regarded by the cops who drove them.
@@v8dodge69 150+ right off the assembly line,and they 'always did just a little more tuning' to them before they went into service. In my younger days I had a '71 Plymouth Fury I (Plymouth's version of the same car more or less?) that was an Ex-Trooper Car,440/375 horse,full 'AHB Pursuit Package' (What the Police Option was called) and it would EASILY peg out the 140 mp/h 'Certified' speedometer!!!
Another great video John! Thanks!
Great video as always. Worth to watch a second time :)
Thank you
Yea I thought he just did a video on this. Maybe I'm thinking of the Miami dade video.
Those cop cars look _so_ fkn cool! Love 70/80s era American cars - absolutely iconic lines ❤
Thanks John for making and sharing this one! Oddly enough, I've never heard this one before. Just when I thought I'd heard ALL the ones from CA, you go and throw this one in there! I'm not from CA, just like the stories from CHP.
I really like the true crime series! Keep it going!!
Great video as always
thank you
I was instantly worried about Kness being shot by the new police officers arriving as backup, thankfully not
Would definitely happen today.
@@katiekane5247wrong on that, there was just a shooting out of I think Oregon. Stop making brainless assumptions.
If you're committed to crime, try to limit them to one at a time
Thanks John. Good work here. Well done sir.
Thank you John for covering this incident, you always do a great job. This incident changed how high risk stops are done and standardized training.
Also good job on the Polara drawing. I was happy you sketched out an actual Polara.
He did a very good job on drawing both the '69 Polara and the '64 Grand Prix.
Too bad he couldn't say Polara and instead calls it a Parola.
I liked the sketch of the Pontiac driver as right hand drive. Lets us know the origin of the video for sure.
As 'Yo Mama' becomes _"Ur Mum"_ at 03:54 .
As someone who has attempted suicide, I can say, it's not easy to phyce yourself up to do that. Humanity has the flaw of self preservation. A terrible affliction.
Man i absolutely love your channel. Im always amazed at what i dont know about.
Great work as always! Enjoy that sun.
When I attended the Police Academy in the mid 80's, the senior firearms trainer (who was also the RangeMaster) opened that block of training by discussing the Newhall incident. We were trained for the street, not the range. No picking up spent brass till the end of the day, no dumping brss into a hand and then the pocket. No "Holster an unloaded weapon", weapons were to be reloaded at all times. Point blank draw and shoot, 3 seconds to draw and fire two rounds. We were taught barricade shooting, reloading while moving, weak hand shooting (including reloading with the weak hand, NOT easy with a revolver.. Because the Academy was staffed by our department the training continued after graduation with our regular service weapons. We ran combat courses as well as the standard qualification course, even steel plate for fun. Officer survival was a frequent subject for in-service training sessions. Never had to use it but I was glad I was properly trained so I had a much better chance of surviving a gunfight than those poor guys did. I was grateful. My family was happy to have me home after every shift as well.
I attended a police academy for a large city in Texas in 1986. We studied this shooting in detail. Still remember seeing the dead officers' side by side in the morgue. Retired as a Sgt in 2012.
Happend a mile from my old home. Im now a retired LAPD Officer and this case changed a lot of practices in law enforcement. The main one being....officers were no longer allowed to put brass in their pockets when at the range. These officers had spent brass in their pockets proving that you fight like you train. You operate in auto pilot.
That is a myth. No officers were found with brass in their pockets in the Newhall shooting
We studied this incident in the academy. Our Chief at the time (1986) was retired LAPD.
Another excellent episode John, keep up the great work, I'll be watching 👀👍👻
I love your channel! I've been following your content for a long time, so thanks for your effort it's really appreciated! You should do an episode on the North Hollywood shootout. That has to be one of the craziest bank robberies ever (or at least that I know about). It's basically straight out of a McG movie or something. Not to sound like I was cheering for the bad guys, but they had basically cowed the entirety of the Los Angles PD and could have gotten away (according to interviews). The whole thing was mad and makes a truly OTT tale.
Today, they literally use this as a teachable moment.
nice to hear it's finally sunny over there for ya meanwhile it's a nice warm 41-42° C here in the California desert. stay safe man!
Damn. It's 7 C and raining, here on the north shore of Lake Ontario. But to be fair, it's usually chilly and raining/snowing here, except for 3 months of swampy heat and humidity every summer. Gotta love those Great Lakes.
Very British weather this morning here in SoCal (Inland Empire). About 11c (53°) and wet!
Been unseasonably wet and cool in NY State too, guess that's most of NA for now
Well done as always!

Thank you for the great videos! Even though the subjects are dark, they are enjoyable to watch.
Thank you for not perpetuating the brass in the pocket myth
Holy shit, I remember this. I grew up in the Valley ten minutes away, and my dad was LAPD out of West Valley Division. This was huge news at the time especially within the law enforcement community.
Haven’t been watching you on CZcams for a while but bloody he’ll mate you have earned your subscribers man 😂 great job 👏 road to a million now yes ?
I live in the area (Santa Clarita) and I remember my dad telling me about this incident a few years before he passed, how it was one of the reasons the police would move away from revolvers as service firearms. He would have been about 14 years old when this happened and it was in the papers and a very big deal in the community.
Former Marine? Never. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Your true crime videos are my favorite.
Thank you so much for this video I loved the story
Great work..
Thank you
This incident is covered extensively from a tactical standpoint in the book “The Deadly Routine”, by Jack Morris. Chapter 10, titled The Four Highway Patrolman. It was practically required reading in the academy way back, along with “The Tactical Edge”. The book also covers 8 other police shooting incidents. I’m going to go back and re-read my copy, which is quite old (1980’s). I’ll have a comment if you’ve got it wrong. The book also has several diagrams of the movements of the officers and suspects and other aspects of the incident. I don’t know if it’s still available anywhere, probably Ama if anywhere.
This is such a interesting story, One of the true values of CZcams.
Missed this one. Was a year old. So I guess that's why. Great work as usual !!! 🧡🙏🏻
5:01 - Although "Dodge Paroler" would be an appropriate name for a purpose-built Police car, the model is actually called a Dodge Polara.
Thanks for including detailed descriptions/drawings of the vehicles involved in these videos, as a lifetime car fanatic I certainly appreciate it!
Roger that. Parents had a gold color 1972 Dodge Polara station wagon when I was a kid ...used it to tow a trailer too. Had the 400 CID V-8, that engine being an upgrade from the venerable 383 Chrysler built for years ...
Thanks, I played that bit a couple times, keep hearing "Dodge Corolla". I was wondering if it was "Dodge Coronet", which I don't remember being a cruiser model.
Agreed - I have a 69 Dodge Monaco and I enjoyed seeing the recognisable illustrations of the near-identical Polara. Some effort has gone into the details.
@@randydewees7338 They also did make a Police Package off of the Coronet as well.
I'm not sure if I remember this from when it happened, or from people telling and re-telling the story. I do know that it was still on the news in the late 70's.
Fantastic video!
What a great channel! Love your style! They knew how pick some great guns though…
I heard this story at my state police academy in 1983, we didn’t have portables, vests, however we had 870 Remington shotguns mounted on the passenger’s side. We were issued S&W 686 357 with hollow points & 12 loop bandalero, thus we only had 18 rounds, however we were trained to fire 2 and load 2 from our gun-belt. 😢
18 rounds total? Wow
@@desdicadoric
Box of 357 H/P in glove box. 870 had 3 slugs & 4 Triple Odd, No A-4s. My backup was a Colt Agent 38 special six round snub nose in my issued Justin mounted patrol boot no ankle holster merely thick socks. I used it only twice in 38 years.
As you're not a revolver user yourself probably you missed a small but critical point that you've also got to extract the damn shells and it's not easy at 200bpm
This just popped up in my que and i watched. Great job. I subbed. I think you might be on ti something saying they got the idea from the Italian Job as it came out less than a year before. Thanks for the content.✌️💪♥️
Well put together video
This reminds me of some of Paul Harrell's older videos.
He mentioned this on his Miami shootout video.
It's crazy how fast you can be brought to reality when you're listening to true crime stuff, and one of the cases ends up being in your hometown. Nowadays, SCV is kinda known for being an uneventful place-nothing really happens here. Never knew this happened
I kinda gotta disagree with the point of not much happening in Santa Clarita. I’ve lived in Valencia my whole life and just a few years ago we had the school shooting at the highschool I went to in Saugus. Just a couple weeks ago we had a barricaded suspect in canyon country. Back in January of this year an officer shot and killed an unarmed homeless person at the Valencia mall. There’s a lot of smaller incidents that happen daily too. Idk I just feel like more bad stuff happens around here nowadays then when I was growing up. Even then when I was around 10 I remember a police helicopter flying over my house at night with the spotlight and speakers on saying “come out with your hands up” because there was a barricaded armed suspect across Bouquet Canyon Rd in the other neighborhood. There was another time when a guy tried to rob a store in Bouquet Plaza at night and he cut his hand and was running from the police through my streets backyards. He left bloody hand prints on my tree fort in the backyard of my dads house.
@@ET-Gamer You're absolutely right. I think I was going off of the amount of incidents I've experienced growing up vs now. Maybe it's always been like this, and we just haven't noticed until we got older.
I love your content! Im recovering from a knee surgery right now and these videos are a great way to spend my time bed ridden :)
Love your videos bro
I appreciate you had the driver on the British side of the vehicle, even though it takes place in California.
And people wonder why 30 round mags in carbines are so important everyone ran out of ammo in this story and cops died because of it
All fun and games when the bad guys walk into a school with a 30 round mag.
@@JoshuaTootellwhen no one's shooting back/ you're basically at target practice, 3 10-round mags are pretty much just as bad.
I.e. that's not a shootout where every millisecond counts.
Those Officers did not die in vain. Their sacrifice has undoubtedly saved hundreds of police officers lives as a result of this tragic incident. May they rest in peace.
I remember this, me and my dad got pulled over by Frago couple of days b4. Next thing they're on the front page of the signal newspaper.
4:57 I had to rewind. The cops were in a 1969 Dodge POLARA, not a “Parola”. 😅. Although that would be an ironic name if that was the case.
That would be a great name for a GTA police car that's actually really bad as a pursuit vehicle. Like if they did the NYPD Prius or something lol
@@nthgth Exactly. Only for Parole Officers, meter maids, and crossing guards. 😊
Sister Car to the 'Furry'.......
For those who would like a in depth technical look at this shooting, i fully recommend Paul harrels breakdown of it, where he exposes a lot of the myths that the shooting community has randomly thrown together over the shooting.
I absolutely lost my shit at the part where the 1911 fires once, gets jammed, and is then discarded. Couldn't get funnier than that
