Came looking for this. People forget the criminal doesn't care. It's an intimidation tool, effectiveness is mute when it's shoved in ur face

They're also stupid, too.

Yeah, the gun is just used to make an all tomato. Which means you give me the whole tomato... or else.

It’s like the gangstas in the US who take the stocks off of SBRs and just have the buffer tubes stupidly sticking out the back of their SBR. And of course there’s no sights to be found on the picatinny rail which makes sense since they don’t aim a damn thing.

u/lettelsnek Jun 21 '26

well

those are sold as AR pistols and never had stocks installed from the factory

u/Eglitarian Jun 21 '26

Yeah but people whose dwellings aren’t propped up by section 8 usually will go buy a stock for it. And at LEAST a sight.

You leave our fine upstanding citizens out of this.

u/NSH-93 Jun 20 '26

Also it seems this guy was ā€œif it seats itā€¦ā€ he put a 22, a 223, probably a slug and then saw if it seats. That’s why they have different ammo around.

u/Global_Bonus4067 Jun 20 '26

The .22 round is the backup weapon after you miss the first (and only) wild shot, to throw at your target while you run away to find another rifle round.

8

u/GFN_good_for_nothing Jun 20 '26

Everybody’s got jokes but I’ll give you the real answer. The people that use these types of weapons chop them up this way so that they can keep them concealed until they’re close enough to reach out and touch their target. At the close proximities a hack job like this is meant to be used it’s more of a lethal punch than a ranged weapon so it doesn’t need to be aimed.

u/catchinNkeepinf1sh Jun 20 '26

Is that a saturday night special or you have a hacked up gopher gun in your pants?

u/VoilaVoilaWashington Jun 21 '26

And this isn't even the most hacky hack job we've seen on the news. You barely need a barrel at 2 feet.

Someone really took a left hand Ruger American and chopped it all up smh lol

u/julienjj Jun 20 '26

Better have pocket sand ready when you miss that first shot.

u/Dill_Pickle_Tears Jun 20 '26

I wonder how often do these firearms even see use? I imagine they’re mostly just carried around until they’re confiscated by police

The story said it was a sawed off Ruger .223 . I don't understand the showing of a .22 bullet. He apparently stabbed a guy that got away and told the cops. He caught 4 firearm charges. 1 would be illegal modifications and 1 would be no valid license. having ammo isn't illegal ... unless he had priors with conditions that said no guns and no ammo. that could account for the other 2 charges .

sawed off bolt action .223 .... tbh, I'd like to try shooting it

*edit, maybe the other 2 charges were threatening with gun and threatening with prohibited gun...

u/HankHippoppopalous Jun 20 '26

I legitimately want to try to use this gun. Just for funzies

2

u/CollectibleHam Jun 20 '26

the .22 is an additive round, you stick it to the tip of the .223 with some chewing gum and voila, you've now got a .245! it'll also now penetrate level III+ armour like a tandem warhead on an RPG :p

6

u/FD4L Jun 20 '26

.223 is only 0.003 more than .22, theyre basically the same round.

u/RoundSystem8417 Jun 21 '26

Except one is centerfire and the other is rimfire and the case size is way different

u/redheaded_stepc Jun 21 '26

u/RoundSystem8417 Jun 21 '26

Man you never know I had someone argue for days that a .223 wasn't a .22 caliber bullet because it wasn't the same size case as a .22 rimfire

If you were standing on the bottom of a lake you could probably hit water.

u/Hinter_Lander Jun 20 '26

Funny story.

I bought a small .69 caliber cannon at a gun show once. (It is horribly built lol). The first time I shot it I packed it so full of gunpowder the ball was barely in the barrel. Well i pointed it at a lake and set it off. No one seen a splash of any sort but the cannon did go like 8 feet backwards.

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 Jun 20 '26

You shot it all the way across the lake lmao

u/InitialAd4125 Jun 21 '26

Yeah the having two different rounds is what got to me the most when I first saw the image I was like dah fuck? Like I've seen a lot of these off the street image bullshit where they have only like maybe 4 bullets or some odd amount but this is I think the first time I've seen someone with two bullets that are both different types.

u/mattthescreamer on Jun 20 '26

Sideways like a gangsterĀ

u/Acceptable_Visit_115 Jun 20 '26

Ā  And why did they have one round of .22 and a round that might be .223

This is what happens when you don't take the CFSC and think all .22cal cartridges are interchangeable lol

1

u/MacintoshEddie Jun 20 '26

Pretty often evidence tables show all the evidence siezed, not just evidence that is directly linked to each other. If the guy was carrying brass knuckes and a wad of cash that would probably be on the table too.

Same reason at a recent bust they had a crossbow on the on the table.

u/SelppinEvolI Jun 20 '26

Why is there a 22lr bullet in the picture?

1

u/BigoteMexicano Jun 20 '26

I too would like to know why there's a .22lr cartridge included in the photo shoot. Did he also have a box of .22lr ammo on him? Did he think it sounded close enough to .223 and bought it by mistake?

u/genemcallen Jun 20 '26

It's probably more for intimidation than accuracy.

u/Armedfist Jun 20 '26

They don’t. When was the last time you see gangbangers aim

u/izza123 Jun 20 '26

At some point of firearms proficiency you can aim with your eye, not that these guys are at that level of firearms proficiency but I’d wager I could aim and fire this thing in an effective way

The majority of criminals who wield these bastardized firearms are career recidivists who don't care about being law abiding citizens nor fear the legal consequences because they know they'll receive light punishments due to systemic racism and the two-tiered, revolving door Canadian justice system.
