Shootout at the RAB corral

2006-11-12

Four cadres of United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) were arrested along with firearms after a 20-minute gunfight with Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) in Raozan upazila bordering Chittagong Hill Tracts yesterday evening. An official at the Rab headquarters said the members of the UPDF, an anti-peace treaty outfit, were engaged in gunrunning.

So that's where they get the shutter guns!

"Acting on a tip-off, a team of Rab-7 raided a remote hilly area at Haladia in Raozan. Sensing the presence of the elite force, ...

"Hark! My spider-sense is tingling! Cheez, it's the RAB!"

... about 30 UPDF men opened fire on the law enforcers, prompting them to retaliate," said the official.

And after a desultry, aimless exchange ...

After a 20-minute exchange of fire, the Rab personnel caught four of the gang while others managed to flee. The Rab men seized two firearms from their possession.

#4 'Bout time for an update; I was running on RAB fumes.
OS; I don't think that there is any need for a > 10foot accuracy, since the RAB opens fhire as soon as they reach the deserted (fill in the location here) and the bad guy only justs steps from the RAB-mobile....(and the unnamed / unseen accomplices can't hit anything anyway.

#3 There's a tourist trap on Highway 50 west of Pueblo, Colorado, called "Buckskin Joe". They have "gunfights" every day, very similar to the picture shown in #2. I think they could be more effective than the RAB. The RAB doesn't seem to be able to hit anyone farther away than ten feet.
