Hostage negotiation with Chinese characteristics
2010-07-09
Cue it up to 0:45 for the negotiation to start.




Anything worth shooting is worth shooting four times. Coincidentally, the number four has the connotation of ill fortune and death in Chinese culture.

That cop was using a Model 77. It is a compact, pocket-sized, blowback-operated handgun that fires the indigenously developed 7.62x17mm round. Love the star grips.

#3  Shooter's technique looked real shaky - didn't aim, just threw her arm out and fired while the arm was till moving. One lucky hostage. Still _ all's well that ends well
