#TheFBIFiles #TrueCrime #FullEpisode
Season 2 Episode 13: A series of brutal bank robberies and murders led to an exhaustive eight-month investigation by the FBI. What followed was the 1986 FBI Miami shootout, one of the deadliest firefights in FBI history.
The FBI Files is an American docudrama that takes a look behind the scenes of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime laboratory.
Real FBI cases are recounted through reenactments and interviews, due to the sensitive nature of the show, viewer discretion is advised.
These are the most detailed crime shows. They dont sit there and talk about the person doing the crime all night. They show how they track them down. I bought the full collection.

Jerry Dove was a good friend of mine. He was a very young agent when he died
anthony call is good narrator. he used to play in original startrek
FBI Agents HEROES💪👏👏👏👏
They made a TV movie about this.
"In the line of duty; The FBI murders"
Starring Michael Gross and David Soul as the two psychopathic bank robbers. Awesome movie. Especially the ending. Graphic and brutal for a 1988 TV movie.
Damn, that was really brave of the guy who followed the robbers to trail them as far as he had without being noticed.
But why he dint just call the police and tell them where was therey thats dumb
@@reycastaneda6635 If he took the time to call them before following them, they might have gotten away; at least there was a lead, thanks to him.
@@reycastaneda6635 because it was the 80s and if he were to do what you suggested, he’d have done exactly what went down the 3-4 prior times when they got away (calling the police right after the armed robbery) that resulted in nothing and more deaths?
@@reycastaneda6635 they didn't have cell phones like we did
@@reycastaneda6635 call them how?
Shout out to William Roberts who witnessed a murder and robbery and then FOLLOWED the perpetrators in order to give details to police. Regular everyday people used to be bad-ass.
Yee the 80's, miss it
What was so heroic about following someone?
Key phrase " used to be". Land of wusses now.
@@Casey28027 I think most people who just witness a shooting would have high tailed out of there and I don’t blame them. To follow a couple dangerous criminal around could’ve gotten him killed if they found out. What he did took lot of courage as I would have gotten the hell out of there.
Yea he just abandoned the guard that was shot on the ground bleeding to follow someone. What a hero.
its cool how the reeactments look like its straight out of the 80s, they did a better job than most hollywood studios

Thank you, William Roberts , for having the courage to become involved and providing a major lead.

Amazing recreation. The narrator's voice is one of the best ones 👏
Shot 3 times then walks a mile and a half to give a description of his shooters
0.0
I thought the narrator said he was shot "several times" 🤣
IMMORTALITY?!
Maybe his guardian angel was supporting him...
Sounds like a movie....where a dude gets shot in the stomache and drives half way across the country
Yeah thats wild wild.. and here u got people that cry over a stomach ache or spraining a ankle
I appreciate the courage of the FBI agent who terminated the bandits when he made the conclusion that if he had to die he must take these men with him

Legend.

I admire the courage of the robbers If they are going to die I'm taking all the police with me
@@cionni-queenhunter2400 Asshole.
@Uptown USA I hate to have to agree with you. There are many fine people in all levels of law enforcement who seek to protect the rights of all people and fairly enforce the laws. Unfortunately, in many of these organizations the higher one goes up in the ranks the more liberal/leftist they become.
These men are true warriors and each of these men should be commended for taking down these two worthless criminals.
I dont think the police are necessarily worthless...😶
I was a cop in Miami when this occurred. I had left the Sunniland South Shopping Center a block from where this happened 10 minutes before. It was a tragedy of horrible proportions. One of the bad guys lived about 10 blocks from where I lived. These poor agents were terribly outgunned and were no match for the rifles used against them.
Yep. Grogan and Dove should have been carrying Glock 17s with high cap mags. And they should have had m-16s in their vehicles, 1 each.
I find it odd that this episode doesn’t mention that both Matix and Platt were military police in the army, with Matix also having served as a Sergeant in the USMC
Agent Morales using a 12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun was the most badass moment of the Fight.
I was a young cop at a training seminar in Jacksonville when it happened. It shook us. The old wheelgun days.
@@seeingimages no such thing as a Glock back then. Patrol rifles were unheard of except for swat.
That female bank teller finds herself in a lot of bank robberies from those guys. She’s in multiple scenes, question her...
And for some reason, all crimes were filmed in very high quality. Anybody ever thought about questioning the guy recording?
Crisis actor lol
🤣
@@jens-christianpetersen367 It could be a third killer, hiding himself among customers. He must have some freaking hobby of filming his own crime scence.
Otherwise, how come the videos when the banks' cameras are either dead or low quality?
:(
@@jens-christianpetersen367
Get a grip.
These are reenactments this is Not original footage.
They were some straight savages back in the 80's, especially in Miami. Life meant nothing, just a quick buck...pretty unbelievable
It’s still like this in the USA pretty much. Just look at the murder rates and the rates in every other G20 country
The days of the Cocaine cowboys
Mattix was actually from Ohio. He's from my tiny hometown of New Madison, Ohio!! And yes, he's the most famous person from there.
@@bradsully6620 Idk bout that, I live in Ohio born and raised. There's a laundry list of famous people. How about the Wright Brother's, Neil Armstrong, John Glenn...to Jeffrey Dahmer, and everything in between
@@bradsully6620Sorry, I thought you meant Ohio lol. You meant your hometown...
The made for TV movie, "The FBI Murders" was quite good. David Soul and Michael Gross were amazing as the two robbers. The shootout is suspenseful, realistic and hard hitting.
Special Agent Jerry Dove was 30 years old. He was an FBI agent for 4 years.
Special Agent Ben Grogan was 53 years old and was an FBI agent for 25 years. He was also an Army veteran.
this is so sad
Both of their services for the FBI will be greatly missed. 😢💔
This has to be one of the best episodes in this series.
Great series. I used to watch it on TV.

@@carolcity1919 the comments 🤷🏾♂️ why
This was unbelievable. If it had been a movie, it would have been way over the top. Huge respect to all of those brave and dedicated agents.
"Dammit he was just a year from retirement"
There is a move about it actually. Scenes of the actual firefight is on RUclips and from what I’ve heard it’s quite accurate to how it happened
They made a movie about this called In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders.
If this was a movie it would be Laurel and Hardy.
Dog Day Afternoon with outgunned, incompetent, unprepared, dead FBI agents. They weren't very smart, either!
It was ludicrous that agents carried 5 shot revolvers in 1986.
The team that murdered Bonnie and Clyde in the 1930's were better equipped than these FBI guys, they had shotguns and BAR's.
They had 9mm smith and Wesson semi auto to. The 2 who got killed did I believe 1 at least he shot him with four shot that went through his arm and landed 1 inch from heart. Theu switch ammo after this and guns
The FBI knew for months what kind of weapons these men had; yet, they went after them armed with 'slingshots' so to speak. 🤔
Exactly how stupid can they be. Hope they learned their lesson from this shoot out.
@@ricolee364 you must not have read the comment right above yours? Plus I think the fact these FBI guys stop the murderous bastards with "slingshots" deserves some respect.

Just download ad blocker apps that play RUclips. I switched over to one once I realized how many ads were in this video
Or get RUclips Premium. There are no ads. You also get access to Premium video series and you can play videos even if your screen is off. It makes it to where you can listen to music without having the screen on. It’s pretty great.
XBDAX1 agreed RUclips premium is worth it, no ads in sight and you can download for offline play any stream anything while your device is locked. Beats sitting through a gazillion adverts all the time.

GREAT WORK FBI AGENTS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR OUTSTANDING SERVICE
I KNEW THE HOLLYWOOD SHOT OUT HAPPENED, BUT I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS ONE IN MIAMI. RIP AGENTS, 🙏🙏😮😮😮
The fact that my dude smiled 💀 37:50 😂😂😂
He was havin a blast
The worst part of the shootout is that there were several other cars out looking for these guys that had agents with submachine guns and M16s. They didn't arrive to the location until after the shootout was over.
Exactly, this was a hot head FBI agent ego problem. They all knew the robbers had at least one Mini 14 with them.
Many years ago I was in an FBI firearms instructor class and the guy teaching it was an FBI agent and his name was Mike A. At that time I had been a SWAT operator for several years and was calling into question many of the tactics that were used by the FBI during this operation. When the class took a break I went up to him and could tell he had gotten a little emotional about the conversation, and I said jokingly hey I didn’t mean to get on the Home team but some of the stuff just doesn’t make sense. That’s when he told me that he was part of the other team that was working the other end of S. Dixie Highway that day. He went into great detail about the operation and how well he knew Ben Grogan having just run with him a couple nights before. Grogan was almost legally blind without his glasses and when he lost those that’s where things really went bad. Grogan was one of the early members of the FBIHRT unit and was a very good marksman. Without his glasses he could barely see.
I attended the FBI national Academy many years later and actually studied the case file for this incident it’s very interesting what all took place and how much time and effort they have dedicated to never making this mistake again.
@@boltupright8742 Mistakes are a part of life. What's important is to learn from them. Thank you for sharing 🙂
They were miles away.
The agents were obviously outarmed and a lot of bad luck.
They failed a clear plan of action and proper leadership.
Lack of preparation, no speed loaders (maybe not issued or not available).
@@boltupright8742 he lost his glasses in the crash.
The other one that lost his weapon took of and survived.
This episode showed me that there were some really incredible people; from the FBI agent’s heroic and courageous acts, to the young man crawling to save his life and give that information that was vital to the case; to that individual following them to that white pick up truck and getting that information. Just how truly incredible the human spirit can persevere through insurmountable situations.
people suffer for helping the needy and that's is god love we human being the world need peace and prayers

OP sounds good untill you learn from bitter experience to mind your own buisness. No matter how good or noble your intentions may be you can end up caught up in something and the thanks you get for your caring is a back hand to the face. No thanks. Just worrying about me and mine for the rest of my life.
I'm not at all impressed with the agents but youre correct about the guy walking a mile with three bullets in his body. That dude wasnt a hero, he was just a total Chad boss.
To bad the FBI is not the same way this days!
I hope that everyone who lost their lives because of those two robbers can Rest In Peace ✝️🕯️

I'm going to have to disconnect my cable also because it's pointless I watch more RUclips than then actual TV.
@@narc6150 That's what I did recently because we just watch Netflix Hulu and RUclips. Cable and sattelite is a rip off. We were being charged $60/month for basic channels.
Jacob Mayes tv licence?
Do you at least have internet? I'm asking because I also haven't had cable for years, netflix kind of defeating the purpose considering how the price of cable never stops going up, but I bought a Samsung TV and it has agree tv streaming service built in and the 3 or 4 crime channels it had okays forensic files, fbi files, the new detectives and many of the crime shows we all love to binge on (which are also found in netflix and other streaming platforms. Just my opinion but if you don't already have one, but a Samsung TV pretty much pays for itself.
Rest & peace to those brave FBI agent who perished in the firefight, salute to FBI
Fuck FBI, they were behind most school shootings.
Not that I’m smarter than the FBI but if they knew they were using a .223 why the Hell would they show up with pistols
This was a nasty gun battle. I commend those brave and heroic federal agents, who put their lives on the line, and lost theirs! The criminals had no morals or scruples, and was willing to do anything to get away with their heists, including hurting anyone who got in their way. It's amazing how money and opportunistic crime can poison the minds, and destroy lives in the process!
Tragic, nothing amazing about it.
I wasn't intending to word "amazing" in a positive way, but rather in a surprising manner! Hope your feelings weren't hurt too bad!

Such a sad story for the FBI, and to think one agent was about to retire, so very tragic. RIP good agents
Fuck big government
yeah Agent Grogan was getting ready for retirement & Agent Dove was just getting started 4 years under his belt , if alive Grogan would be 89 years old & Dove would be 66 & long done Retired
@Kevin Hart From the sound of things, he'd gotten very emotionally invested in this case, and like they said, they were 99% sure they wouldn't find anything in the sweep they were doing. The fact that they ran right into their suspects was an insane coincidence.
I feel bad for that guy that was shot in the balls. The worst thing that can happen to a man is to lose your balls.
No, the worse thing to happen to a man is to lose his soul.
@Vilma Betancourt Pfft. The look of confidence on Cruz's face simply shows he has no problem serving accolades to the man who denigrated him & his family on a very personal level. Cruz never had any balls. Go on, say it's just politics.

I think NBC made a movie about this in 1988. It was strange seeing Michael Gross of Family Ties and David Soul of Starsky and Hutch playing Matrix and Platt
David Soul was like the damn terminator in that final shootout scene!
"Dont worry men, no one can withstand the withering fire of a snub nose .38."
Btw, if they reported the eon missing, how did the recording law enforcement not think to file the car as stolen? As a means of expediting finding the son? The parents probably assumed they put a bolo out on the car, but they should have filed a stolen report.

Sadly people died and condolences to the families. Interesting documentary. Thank you for telling the story.
Armored truck drivers and bank workers know the risks..
In the Line of Fire :FBI Murders (1988) is an excellent movie about this case.They changed a couple of things (the way the veteran agent was killed) but the story is very similar to what happened in this docudrama and i think in real life..David Soul played one of the killers in a career best performance
Why would the FBI go searching for 2 bank robbers with high powered rifles and not bring their own? Very brave agents. I think they would have did things differently given the chance.
Maybe u should have been there to help them Rambo
Seems like at the time they came in contact with them by chance and then just had nearby reinforcements, though in mid 1980's you't think they'd have better a side arm than a revolver.
A lot of US pol dep. didn't have high powered rifles at that time.
I think they underestimated them
@@hanschouwman4536 this is the FBI we are talking about dudes had access to MP5s and m16s

A mini 14 was the rifle used. Mini 14's do have wood furniture.
@@kittymeowmeow1330 ...And while Mini-14 were not adopted by any militaries, it was officially adopted by some country's paramilitary units, for example French Gendarmerie.
@@edlenorgaeron8003 it was used by a few small militaries, I saw a few in Botswana
Love this show and this episode.
Damn, that guy that took 4 or 5 bullets and then walked a mile to find help is incredible! The human will to survive can be quite incredible. And that also works the same way when people don't want to live anymore...they just give up. it's strange.
FBI guy says, seemingly seriously, that it appeared they had watched the banks before they robbed them. Genius!
Shows you the intelligence of them and why it played out like it did.
A semiautomatic Ruger Mini-14 is neither an assault weapon or a military firearm. Regardless of this dramatic recreation the facts are the weapon had not been modified and thus was no more or less lethal than any other semi hunting rifle.
Also as lethal as and handgun (semi)
Maybe you failed to do your homework on the many homicides and the past military battles using that same me weapon.
@@nymphkutta2627 I only just realised what he said. Mini 14s are not a military firearm hahaha That's funny, because they had been used by heaps of military 🤣
@@nymphkutta2627What battles when and where? As far as homicides you need to educate yourself since edged and blunt items far exceed firearm misconduct as weapons used by idiots.
@@JaiPritchett Mini 14 was hardly adopted into any Military. It was made for civilian and law enforcement use. You're probably talking about the M14 which had a larger bullet and was adopted by many different armed forces and is still used today by the US, Philippines, Australia, Israel, Taiwan, Vietnam, and many other countries.
This was a great series.
I remember this so well. Tragic and sickening .
I am astonished how lightly armed the FBI were.
This is what changed it, although there was other searching to with m16, submachine guns
Great episode. If I saw this in a movie I wouldn't believe it.
Glad the FBI learned from this, but regardless, they were up against some really hardened criminals. Both had successful military backgrounds and clearly had no fear of death. They were not going to let the FBI take them alive and combined took about 18 shots when it was said and done. As to why they decided to go down such a heinous path in life? Who knows, that is one of the tragedies of this all.
Kudos, obviously, to all the agents. Mireles is a different breed ending the gunfight with his left arm alone. Probably saved a few more agents lives with his heroic actions.
Also want to give praise (even though they will never read this) to 1) The witness that managed to follow the suspects to their residence/hideout after their second murder of a Brinks truck driver. Personally speaking, I would have bolted as soon as I saw the first shot, and then once I reached safety, just called the police. Very courageous act for him, which set the wheels in motion for the FBI.
Finally, that victim at the shooting range that got his car hijacked gets full commendation as well. What a insane amount of resilience to walk 3 miles after getting shot 3 times. He also allowed to give the FBI more leads on these guys and what they looked like. Hope that man has lived a great life since then.
There is a film on it made in 92 i think pretty accurately well made too its on RUclips now after I first seen it on cable nearly 15 years ago lol
What’s the name of the movie?
Mr. Collazo was the beast who walked three miles after being shot multiple times, including one to the face!
What a man!!!!!!!!!
Funny that u said u wouldn't believe it if u saw it in a movie. Guess what? Yeah, what u watched was exactly that. But, you were to believe this reenactment you watched actually happened in real life. I assure you, It most definitely did not. This was a hoax a false flag PSYOP to justify militarization( gear and increased budgets) for police agencies nationwide; along with the 3 letter govt agencies. FYI...unlike TV shows such as Dateline, serial killer documentaries, and any other true crime show where a trial is televised, a lot of the FBI files are actually true. But this one here involving the shootout ain't one of 'em.
This case along with the Newhall California incident that took place in April 1970 involving 4 CHP officers have got to be some of the saddest I’ve seen.
Great episode!
That shootout is one incredible tactical fail. It's like the agents really didn't plan on what to do if they ran into the bad guys.
They had never handled anything that nasty anymore.
Facts like you know what king of guns they had and ya pull up with handguns
Big failure was marksmanship.
Both of the criminals, Platt and Maddox had extensive military experience. One, as I recall completed Ranger training. Getting in shootouts really hasn't been a big FBI thing since the thirties, with the exception being the FBI CISG, a SWAT type outfit.
This particular incident spawned a complete revamping of firearms training and equipping. This incident has a lot to do with why cops nowadays carry semiautomatic pistols and not .38 revolvers anymore.
I like how they keep calling his gun an assault rifle, the mini 14 is a ranch rifle.
Lol ha ha ha! I’ve got m16 Russian sks, two 45’s and 22 lr pistol w scope! All my hollowpoints are filled with hogs blood and shyt! And sealed with hi heat Paraffin
@@clevername8832 ya, I no it , it's weird. But that's what it says it is if u look up a mini 14. I always called them the A-team gun, that's what they always used in the show.
An assault rifle is any rifle that is fitted for assault tactics.. and in this case the mini 14 fit the roll just fine
@@jaykoehn4106 so if i use a AK47 with my hands_does that make it a handgun?
@@jaykoehn4106 No that is not with an assault rifle is. An assault rifle is a rifle in an intermediate caliber like .223, 5.56, 5.45, etc, etc. And capable of select fire. Meaning it has the ability of semi-auto and burst fire, semi-auto and full auto, burst fire and full auto, or all three. Ruger Mini-14 can come in semi-automatic only for civilians and it could come in select fire for law enforcement or military personnel. Now according to Paul Harrell a man who used to train military or police or something around the time that the shooting happened. He specified that it was a semi-automatic rifle. Plus the select fire variant the AC 556 was not available until 1979 and was specifically and only for the government not for the civilian Market. And I highly doubt that if this dude had the money to figure out a way to get one and then actually get one, that he would be needing to rob a bank anytime soon. Meaning logically it was not the select fire variant meaning this documentary is incorrect by calling it an assault rifle.
Woooow kept me on the edge of my seat !
Did anyone else see that person just sitting in their minivan watching the shootout @2:57? They were right in the line of fire and didn't even flinch.
Lots of courage and determination shown by the FBI agents under the circumstances they were up against.
But poor results for everything else that mattered lol
And not really, they are getting paid so having courage and determination are very applicable here
@@JohnDoe-vr3ey no shit thats the reason u get a job so u dont go broke and be on the streets.
Excellent piece of FBI history. Enjoyed watching some old school LE work.
5:00
Magical directing and editing
Super realistic
And intense
This was a horrific incident and it was the first time I ever saw such a gun battle with major firepower. They were able to use this experience to make future situations more efficient and safel.
Always take cover behind the engine block of a vehicle in a firefight. Most bullets will penetrate through the panels of vehicles and into you.
How about a brick wall?
This is imo the best fbi files episode
They told two lies in the first minute of the show claiming they robbers were using military weapons, then assault weapons. THEY WERE NOT. Both are lies.
@@spartanx169x imagine not knowing that the weapons they used were customized into military weapons
They made a TV movie about this back in 1988 titled; "In the line of duty: The FBI murders" Starring Michael Gross and David Soul as the bank robbers. The ending is played out just like this. Soul and Gross are complete psychopaths in this roll.
I can't believe this happened so close to the area where I lived. April 11, 1986 I was probably at school in Killian High, not far away.
Damn the shooter went Call of Duty on their ass and rushed them while reloading lmao
While I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the FBI? These men proved themselves to be exceptionally brave in defense of the public and their fellow officers.
Well maybe it was a bit different in 1986. Today...no comment
The general definition of an assault rifle is one that can fire fully automatic, among other characteristics. A Mini 14 is not a fully automatic weapon. Its a semi automatic, meaning one shot for each pull of the trigger.
I believe There is a full auto mini 14 but in the video they say it was a semi auto
According to the media everything is an assault weapon
@@vincentvega6932 The full auto version is called the AC556
@@carlwessels2671 correct although there are some differences(other than being full auto) from a mini14. However, i do like em both anyway lol. Would be a nice addition to my inventory
@@vincentvega6932 With all that legal paperwork I wouldn't, too much trouble.
I'm admit I'm addicted to this show
Jim Calstron is such a powerful spokesman for the fbi. His openings pretty much define the word iconic.
Been waiting for this one.
Reboot dude , watched about q0 times
They did NOT have assault weapons! They had a ruger mini 14 and a shotgun!
Liberal agenda my friend. Keep delivering the message no matter the format.
@Mr Ambition That's an assault weapon.
@Mr Ambition Yeah...
Those are assault weapons...
An old military caidance, " i dont want no beauty queen, i just want my m14"
Just as chilling as that episode on the Macgeteros investigations during the 1980s
The way I saw that gun fight at the end it made me cry so much.....The way the F.B.I. Agents fought for there lives, It's incredible. I'm glad most of them survived.
Same here ..
Thats insane. Good episode, but why the hell in the did cops use revolvers?? 5-6 shots, slow to reload, whata joke! It was the 1980s not the 1880s ffs.
Yeah, this was dreadful on the part of the FBI. Since when do you come abreast of a car holding two desperadoes and try to talk them down? No, you surround them and gun them down. Cops seem to learn that it's best somehow to try to talk a hardened criminal down, and often end up getting killed or seriously wounded. What the hell, man! In the days of Dillinger that didn't happen.
Revolvers were the standard sidearms for everyone in the day. They never jammed. They fire as quickly as semi-automatics, and they had quick-reload cartridges that would allow you to reload in 5 seconds. (I'm not sure these agents had those though.) But they were a lot less accurate during repeated firing because of the trigger-driven cocking mechanism. Just consider how many shots the agents fired at close range and how few rounds actually hit the bad guys.
BTW, 3 agents out of the 8 involved had semi-automatic 9mm pistols, and 2 had shotguns, though one shotgun was never used because it was stowed in Manauzzi's car, which was alongside the Monte Carlo. Manauzzi wound up unarmed during the entire firefight after he took out his revolver and set it on the passenger seat. The collision with the black Monte Carlo sent his revolver flying.
@@beenaplumber8379 For sure, I'm a pretty big gun guy myself, so I get the benefits of a revolver but man... going up against people with semi auto RIFLES with a couple of revolvers and some 9mm's is crazy IMO. The shotguns were good but if they just had a couple of rifles too I think it would have been a different outcome.
@@ejcheli I'm not a gun guy myself, but I worked security for a while, and I carried a company-issued revolver. At the range, the S&W .38 specials were useless, to me anyway, under repeated firing. (I was nowhere near as experienced as these agents, obviously.) The short colt .38's were even worse, even on the first cocked shot. I've had a few days at the range with my brother and his Glock .45 semi-auto (I don't own any guns myself, but I've always enjoyed target shooting), and I swear that thing was nearly as accurate as a rifle on every shot. My other brother has a .44 magnum revolver that I want to try out. He says the long barrel makes it more stable and really accurate. He says he actually uses it for deer hunting on close shots.
I do appreciate the difference the right weapon can make in a shootout like this. And I agree, semi-automatic rifles with big mags would have been invaluable to the agents. Even if they'd had access to both shotguns, they only had 9 rounds each, though they sure could have used that kind of takedown power on Platt. Like the agent said, Platt was shot to pieces (broken bones, severe wounds in both legs and a forearm, and over a liter of blood where one of his lungs was supposed to be) but he wouldn't go down. They say his tox screen was 100% clean too. Same with Matix.
(Edit) @ejcheli, if you read this and reply, I would like your opinion on the effectiveness of the agents using 45 Glock semi autos like my brother's vs. semi auto rifles. As I said, the Glock 45 is of comparable accuracy (IMO), certainly at closer range, but they have tremendous stopping/takedown power. More than the .223 rounds? I dunno. I suppose the 45's would have fewer rounds per magazine too, but they change just as quickly. What do you think? Would there be a benefit of more rifles over bigger and better semi auto handguns?
This whole incident is the driving reason that .40 S&W became a caliber
40:22 I admire the motivation of this agent. Good example of mind over matter.
Best episode in the entire series
That intro gives me HUGE NOSTALGIA. I used to watch this show all the time as a kid.
