First of all, stop mischaracterizing and completely fabricating statements you are attributing to me; nowhere have I said that “the NYPD is a bunch of drooling morons” or even mentioned the police investigation beyond noting that two of the pictures distributed have the suspect wearing different packs. I did highlight the media uncritically repeating some errant comment that someone stated as absolute fact even though it is clearly wrong, and the general lack of basic knowledge that the vast majority of journalists—even those who routinely report in crime and gun issues—have with respect to firearms.
Second, I am not an “internet rando”; I have been a member on this message board for over twenty years and have posted extensively on the technical aspects of firearms as well as my experience as a tactical firearms instructor. Even if you were not aware of this, my previously linked post contains an extensive discussion on why the weapon shown in the video (which despite your complaining of not being available is linked right in that post at the top of the second paragraph) is not a B&T Section SIX-9, a VP9, a Welrod, or any other integrally suppressed manual action pistol. You are free to contest the points made in that post at any length you feel is appropriate but stop mischaracterizing my statements or attacking my character and knowledge without providing arguments of any merit whatsoever.
Third, you can find well established experts on the internet who have also concluded that this was not a Welrod-type gun and is instead just a poorly-set up short action autoloading pistol. For instance, here is Ian McCollum of the Forgotten Weapons Youtube channel (who also created the videos linked in the earlier post demonstrating the functioning of the Welrod and B&T VP9) which came to the same conclusion that I did regarding the claims that this was a Welrod-type weapon or a ‘vet gun’.
When you respond, please come back with something of more substance than calling me an “internet rando” and false insinuations that I have insulted the NYPD or engaging in any other perfidy. Maybe try doing some research and coming back with actual knowledge.
I see you’ve made five posts in one hour attacking my competence, tacitly insulting me, and now telling me how to post. Perhaps you should learn some basic courtesy.
