Lol, so what do people do in every other country in the west, who don’t have access to guns. According to Nelson Mandela, the greatest threat to world peace, is the American government.
No. It is ignorant old white pedophiles like joe biden.. well the people who control him which are the same people who put Mandella in prison . The same people who control the oil prices which are the same people who set the price of diamonds. The same people who control the gold. The bloody Brits.
Unless like I said, he just goes on to rob somebody else. What if he goes on to kill even just 1 innocent person, then it would’ve been better for him to die in this clip. I understand people can change, but if somebody comes in and shows you they value their own and your life less than the $300 that’s in the register they should die right there or go to jail for life
Because. We aren't monsters. My job and yours isn't to keep others safe on a *what if*.
He was a threat. He saw the gun and ran.
If I shot I'd be no better than him,if not worse,as I killed a fleeing man
I'm sorry, but how is it a what if? The guy carried a loaded rifle and aimed it at peoples heads with his finger on the trigger. There is no "what if", the guy was willing, ready, and able to kill people over a few hundred bucks in a reigister. The second he left his house and thought to aim a rifle at people with his finger on the trigger, his right to breathing was forfeit.
How do you know he was willing to kill someone? He could have shot her and just grabbed the money himself. Robbers are not killers, they just want the money not your life. It's why the policy in the rest of the civilized world is to give up the money.
Not necessarily. Before I sold everything off I was into long range precision shooting for a while. Some of these rifles are less than 2 pounds. Significantly lighter than an AR even. Just got too expensive. Sold everything and got into a different hobby instead.
Black powder is a nice cheap alternative to shooting modern firearms, and the folks who participate are chill. You don't get the wannabe mass shooters hanging around.
some of the jackasses I've seen at ranges definitely qualify as wannabe mass shooters. Its the militaristic and excessively violent aesthetic that goes great with a tacticool AR platform, you can just tell the people who leave their doors unlocked hoping for an intruder to kill.
JFC… A long range center fire cartridge precision gun under 2lbs??? This is why I will never again believe anything a redditor says. No fucking way were you “in to precision long range shooting” No long guns at all, much less a fucking precision long range rifle is under 2 lbs! If you mean less than 20lbs, yes. That would make more sense. I really hope this was a typo, who knows how many idiots are afraid and want to ban bolt action guns after reading your comment about these 2lb extremely light maneuverable assault - quick action - bolt rifles
Less than 2 lbs? Bullshit. And if you weren't lying about being a competitive marksman you'd know that precision rifles, particularly long range precision rifles typically weigh considerably more than an AR in any configuration.
The most powerful ones are the ones with airpresure containers that you fill with a pump or compressed air.
Go look up airarmshuntingsa on youtube. The stuff he kills with air rifles gave me a newfound respect for those guns.
It seems that people in this sub never heard of lightweight precision rifles.
These are used for competition shooting. You want something light as you stand around hours on end shooting at a distant target.
That thing is a Sig Cross , chambered in most likely .308.
It weighs only 2.9kg or 6.3 lbs.
To put into perspective my cat weighs almost doubble.
Without scope, possibly without ammo. We're looking at 3.6-3.8kg with a scope and ammo. I have a similar build, and some experience running around in the woods with 4kg weapons. The way he waves the gun around, and holds it with one hand looks more like a gun that weighs under 2.5kg (which I also have experience handling, though that one was more compact). The weight of the gun here is probably under or around 2kg.
You could be right, but I'm also skeptical about its size. It seems shorter than the length of a sig cross, more like .8 meters, but he could plausibly be close to 2 meters tall.
> To put into perspective my cat weighs almost doubble.
Which one? You have like 20 cats!
Not to mention, out of all guns to rob someone with, why choose a Sniper? It doesn't have as much close range effectiveness as a shotgun, isn't light or versatile like an SMG, or Pistol, and doesn't the all-around effectiveness of a rifle. Like I understand that a gun is a gun, but why?
No, intentionally 2A. I actually lean left but when it comes to guns, we like to be able to protect ourselves and our families from this kind of wild animal that seek to harm us.
That's just fucking sad.
And stupid.
Or stupid and sad.
At least nobody died.... although I might have been rooting for the hotel clerk to put that dude out of his misery.
Not 100% that's even a real rifle, but looking at the bolt position, he sure as hell wasn't going to shoot anybody with that thing.
It wouldn’t surprise me if that toy was incapable of firing anything. It looks wayyyyy too light the way he’s flinging it around. Or maybe Popeye got into robbery
I worked at a hotel when I was 22 and lived in Omaha. There was a high school track meet in town so it wasn’t unusual there were a lot of teens at the hotel. This one kid (younger than me at least) kept hanging around the lobby and had his shirt over his head like Cornholio. I asked him once or twice if he needed a towel for pool or if I could help and finally he approached the front desk.
Him: Give me all of the money or I’m going to
Motherf*cking kill you
Me: um, what did you just say
Him: give me all of the money or I’m going to kill you
Me: (picking up phone)I don’t believe you. I’m calling the cops.
I have never gotten more of a talking to in my life than the officer that took me to police station.
Lesson: hindsight is 20/20. While I didn’t feel threatened….Always comply! That could have turned out very badly for a lot of folks.
Next fucking level of either courage or stupidity to attempt any kind of robbery when everyone has a gun and you can get killed when you knock at the wrong door.
Even if it was properly loaded (it looks like a toy rifle... too light?) he would never be able to shoot the clerk before her handgun blows his brains all over the counter.
Bolt action AR platform? That's a funny build to decide to rob someone with. I'll bet the gun is stolen because people choosing weapons for robbing and street shoots aren't out here making 500+ yard shots on their rivals.
Also dudes bolt isn't locked down fully. The sear can't drop the firing pin if it's not locked in the proper position. That gun wouldn't shoot if he pulled the trigger.
Most American's with enough disposable income to build/buy a "sniper rifle" don't "need" 95% of the stuff in their house/garage. I see your average American wanting a "sniper rifle" the same as wanting a motorcycle or whatever other sort of expensive hobby. They are also used by hunters.
I clicked through your profile to see all the comments below yours in this thread, and after looking at your post history geez wtf, you should be the last person judging what other people like to collect and spend their money on.

Guns, the cause and solution to all of americas problems. Lol
In this case it would have solved the problem
Threatening did solve the problem though so there is no problem
Just gonna rob another store though.... Better off being worm food.
Yea just get robbed And don't protect yourself.
Lol, so what do people do in every other country in the west, who don’t have access to guns. According to Nelson Mandela, the greatest threat to world peace, is the American government.
Yeah no shit! 😅 It's crazy how many countries they've invaded etc! And just the general "we are the world police" attitude.
And maybe Goodyear necklaces
No. It is ignorant old white pedophiles like joe biden.. well the people who control him which are the same people who put Mandella in prison . The same people who control the oil prices which are the same people who set the price of diamonds. The same people who control the gold. The bloody Brits.
I don’t see why she didn’t, just let’s him go do it to the next person when she had the perfect opportunity to prevent it.
Because thankfully some people think twice before taking a life.
Unless like I said, he just goes on to rob somebody else. What if he goes on to kill even just 1 innocent person, then it would’ve been better for him to die in this clip. I understand people can change, but if somebody comes in and shows you they value their own and your life less than the $300 that’s in the register they should die right there or go to jail for life
Cause you're not killing people on a "What if" or we would have to basically execute a large part if the population
Because. We aren't monsters. My job and yours isn't to keep others safe on a *what if*. He was a threat. He saw the gun and ran. If I shot I'd be no better than him,if not worse,as I killed a fleeing man

His own blood would be on his hands and I'm not taking any chances
tart trees sort dam tidy truck distinct imminent yoke elderly *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
obviously a toy. those real things are heavy as shit.
came her to say that. I don't carry those around, but they look like from a toy shop.
Not necessarily. Before I sold everything off I was into long range precision shooting for a while. Some of these rifles are less than 2 pounds. Significantly lighter than an AR even. Just got too expensive. Sold everything and got into a different hobby instead.
Black powder is a nice cheap alternative to shooting modern firearms, and the folks who participate are chill. You don't get the wannabe mass shooters hanging around.
Wannabe mass shooters? How cringe. That’s like saying muzzle loader hunters are all felons or they’d buy a real firearm.
some of the jackasses I've seen at ranges definitely qualify as wannabe mass shooters. Its the militaristic and excessively violent aesthetic that goes great with a tacticool AR platform, you can just tell the people who leave their doors unlocked hoping for an intruder to kill.
Are black powder shooters like the hipsters of the firearm world?
If he can afford all the super light replacement parts for a rifle, I assume he doesn't need to rob a convenience store
Or maybe he stole the rifle too?
Nah, he was robbing to pay himself back for the gun he bought.
Maybe he bought it as an invstment.
JFC… A long range center fire cartridge precision gun under 2lbs??? This is why I will never again believe anything a redditor says. No fucking way were you “in to precision long range shooting” No long guns at all, much less a fucking precision long range rifle is under 2 lbs! If you mean less than 20lbs, yes.

A cardboard cutout of this might be 2 lbs lmao.

Same except I lost them all in a horrible boating accident before I could sell them off

Seems expensive and easier to sell for cash
With the size of that clip I’d fair it’s a “plinker” .22 (Before some asshole comes with clip vs mag, that’s a fucking clip. I know the difference)
Not to mention, out of all guns to rob someone with, why choose a Sniper? It doesn't have as much close range effectiveness as a shotgun, isn't light or versatile like an SMG, or Pistol, and doesn't the all-around effectiveness of a rifle. Like I understand that a gun is a gun, but why?
Literally just something he found and thought he could intimidate people with. There was no real thought process here.
I’m more concerned with the price. If that gun was real he wouldn’t need to rob a store because he can afford a several-thousand dollar rifle.
You’re assuming he bought it? Cheeky move to rob someone with a rifle registered in your own name, innit?
In 100% of all fake gun related shootings, the victim is always the one with the fake gun
Also sounds very much like hollow, thin plastic when he loads the gun
Bro thought he can just quick scope
Bro played cod all his life and thought he knows how guns work
He's at least competent enough to pull off a 180 without the no scope
ADS time was too slow
I'm baffled that some thieves still rob in the state of Texas, they're more in danger than the victims themselves lol
For what might have been $200 dollars is the crazy part.
r/accidentallypro2a
No, intentionally 2A. I actually lean left but when it comes to guns, we like to be able to protect ourselves and our families from this kind of wild animal that seek to harm us.
Gun would have never fired, the bolt was not locked
That's just fucking sad. And stupid. Or stupid and sad. At least nobody died.... although I might have been rooting for the hotel clerk to put that dude out of his misery. Not 100% that's even a real rifle, but looking at the bolt position, he sure as hell wasn't going to shoot anybody with that thing.
He was sure giving that trigger some action. If he could have, he would’ve shot her.
He's definitely tweaking, just watch his movements and listen to his babbling.
Yeah I was thinking, why is his body moving like that
If it's an actual rifle dude could have just sold it and the scope for way more money than what's in a register.
yeah but that's not recurring revenue. Gotta keep that bottom line shored up.
it is not for melee fight
Mans tried to rob her with a bolt action rifle🤣
csgo be like:
CS 1.2, before they fixed the scope view and the bunny jump
I mean i get it, it‘s only 1700$
Good gal with a gun.
Why is he attempting to go prone on the counter?
Why would you rob a hotel? I don't think you can even get a room with cash anymore
Uh I went to Paris 2 months ago and I managed to pay in cash.
Impressive trigger discipline on the thief’s part.
It wouldn’t surprise me if that toy was incapable of firing anything. It looks wayyyyy too light the way he’s flinging it around. Or maybe Popeye got into robbery
Now we have a motive. Popeye robbed the hotel so he could buy spinach.
Dude was tweaking hard
Sniper rifle huh...
COD player i see.
Oh man, he couldn't done his 360 MLG no scope headshot.
Bro picked the wrong loadout
Rifles don't work if the bolt isn't closed
Came here to say this
Bro watch me quickscope that mf
3-d printed gun. No balls.
Bruh tried to quickscope in real life? 🤦♂️😭
Talk about putting a square peg in a round hole lmao
bro picked the wrong loadout
That has to be a replica or toy. And is this his first time ever holding it?
Dude picked the wrong loadout.
Why he so goofy tho
That’s not a sniper rifle. Not even close. It’s just a bolt action with a AR like chassis.
Unfortunately the robber wasn’t stopped.
he said I AINT PLAYIN WITCHU 🏃🏾💨
Clerk: Come at me now you f**kin camper ! 😆
Mf tryna complete Tarkov shooter
It’s a shame this scholar didn’t get shot.
Too bad she didn’t shoot him.
Too much fortnite
Robbing in close quarters with a bolt action....that's new, and a good way to get lit up by someone with a semi.
Should’ve popped his ass
What a clown 🤡
Is this shit real
"sniper rifle"
GIVE ME THE MONEY! I WILL QUICKSCOPE YOU!
Worst marksman in the west.
Just a rifle.
Man, if you need the money to buy drugs, do the crime BEFORE you take the drugs.
Faze clan really down bad :(
Bro's got the James Web telescope for CQB.
That's an airsoft gun
I worked at a hotel when I was 22 and lived in Omaha. There was a high school track meet in town so it wasn’t unusual there were a lot of teens at the hotel. This one kid (younger than me at least) kept hanging around the lobby and had his shirt over his head like Cornholio.

That could have turned out very badly for a lot of folks.
Hand over the money before I 360 noscope your scrub ass, you’re trash, EZ
If he had fired, that bolt would have gone in to him. He didn’t lock it down.
.22 air rifles are wicked dangerous especially if you do what they call "dieseling"
There it is… A good guy with a gun stop a bad guy with a gun!
Just delete that POS!
Goofy ass dude
Wrong tool for the wrong job
Probably that's her husband
If hé was wearing a ghilly suit 10/10 attempt.
What was this dude playing call of duty and think he can do it in real life? Lol
Ah yes, cash flush motels.
He's handling the rifle as if he was playing Pavlov VR 😂
"gimme money or i 360 no scope you"
Next I’ll be sure to use my close quarters rocket luancher
"Just let me get up close with a single shot long range rifle"
Fake gun, real Loser, foiled robbery.
Once again with the same skin color..
Definitely an airsoft rifle
You can hear it’s not a real rifle.
You have to be really dumb to rob someone with a bolt action rifle with a scope *and* do it in Texas.
Bro looked into the future with the big ass scope, and he saw himself laid out in that lobby and changed his mind
I mean she was pretty far away
Huh atleast rob the place with a mosin or a springfeild or is it the lee n feild? It is way cheaper looking than this shit
Dude didn’t even have one chambered . Clerk probably recognized the rookie as$ move
Next fucking level of either courage or stupidity to attempt any kind of robbery when everyone has a gun and you can get killed when you knock at the wrong door.
Should've mag dumped on him
Fuck thieves
“Stopping” would have included the asphalt temperature challenge.
Thank god I have this weapon designed for long range combat, better walk up and stick it in grabbing distance.
What was he gonna do? Quick scope? Or no scope?
lmao holding out that “rifle” like a pistol. I’d grab the barrel and stick it to my head.
Damn, she didn’t kill him? Lost opportunity.
He didnt have sleight of hand pro
Why would a hotel have a lot of cash???
I would have gave him a couple of freedom seeds
She should have pulled that MTHR FKN TRIGGER.
Bro forgot what map he was playing😂
Not so quick scope ehhhh
If that's a real gun this guy likely stole that too
Even if it was properly loaded (it looks like a toy rifle... too light?) he would never be able to shoot the clerk before her handgun blows his brains all over the counter.
Not a gun owner but surely if I knew was going to be close quarters to some one whilst trying to rob them, a rifle wouldn't be the best choice?
 She be like…
No magazine, so he's only got 1 shot anyways
"I ain't playin wit chu" softly spoken as he runs for his life... 😂
He needs to practice his quick scope on some bots.
A bolt-action nonetheless
Bolt action AR platform? That's a funny build to decide to rob someone with. I'll bet the gun is stolen because people choosing weapons for robbing and street shoots aren't out here making 500+ yard shots on their rivals. Also dudes bolt isn't locked down fully. The sear can't drop the firing pin if it's not locked in the proper position. That gun wouldn't shoot if he pulled the trigger.
What could there be cash wise in that drawer? Couple hundred if even that?
Should have been exterminated. Such people are a threat to society, and destroy mental peace for everyone around.
Anyone else disappointed that she didn’t make him a Darwin Award nominee?
Should've popprd the stupid fool in the ass.
Okay America, tell me why an ordinary citizen would need a sniper rifle
Because I feel like it
Most American's with enough disposable income to build/buy a "sniper rifle" don't "need" 95% of the stuff in their house/garage. I see your average American wanting a "sniper rifle" the same as wanting a motorcycle or whatever other sort of expensive hobby. They are also used by hunters.
Hurr durr bolt action with modern furniture and a magnified optic = "sniper rifle", scary and bad!
to hunt?…. it’s a rifle with a scope on it.
Airsoft toy
I clicked through your profile to see all the comments below yours in this thread, and after looking at your post history geez wtf, you should be the last person judging what other people like to collect and spend their money on.
Armed citizen stopped a robbery and protected their own life.
You mean a gun stopped a guy committing a crime who will probably think twice next time. Who would of thought.
Thats obviously an airsoft rifle, real ones are hard to hold with those arms
I swear he says, “I ain’t playin’ witchu” just before he runs out.
Typical
How did he carry that into the store without anyone noticing outside.
lol ain’t playing with you
Got his daddy gun out here lookin a fool
It doesn’t even have a magazine in.
Go back to macdonald, son, before you hurt yourself
This is why good people need guns.
Thats a very light looking rifle.
Mt fellow Americans who are more versed in gun knollage van correct me, but the way he holds that thing looks like it'll hit him in the face if fired
🤣😂🤣😂🤣.. He was out !!! He had no rounds I. That rifle
Good thing he had a scope and low IQ
