Re: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Shooting
Actually from the injury sustained by the officer, the revolver was probably shot while in holster. Hence, left thumb + foot wounds.
Re: RE: Re: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Shooting
The new holsters don't allow the gun to be cocked while in the holster, I think ..the lynx wrote:Actually from the injury sustained by the officer, the revolver was probably shot while in holster. Hence, left thumb + foot wounds.
That design was introduced post a gun snatching leading to dead officers in the past. Or so I recall

In this country, firearms, murder and drug-related offences could lead to death penalty.

Re: RE: Re: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Shooting
Most semi-automatic pistols are double action, that is, it is not necessary to cock the hammer in order to fire the gun... one need only to squeeze the trigger in order to cock the hammer and fire. After the first shot, the hammer remains in the cocked position for the second shot.ecureilx wrote:The new holsters don't allow the gun to be cocked while in the holster, I think ..

Re: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Shooting
The police statement simply says "shots were fired" (by whom?) and not a single news/"news" site says that the civilian did it.
Re: RE: Re: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Shooting
I think single and double action specifically refers to revolvers rather than pistols in general. I'm not sure there are semi-auto pistols that fire without needing to cock because the first round isn't automatically chambered.

CNA says this .. "SINGAPORE: The suspect who allegedly snatched a police officer's revolver and fired the gun in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) has been charged for unlawful discharge of firearms at the State Courts on Monday (Jun 22).QueensG wrote:The police statement simply says "shots were fired" (by whom?) and not a single news/"news" site says that the civilian did it.
Muhammad Iskandar Bin Sa'at, 23, could face the death penalty if convicted. He was charged with using a .38 calibre Taurus revolver to discharge three rounds with the intent to cause physical injury to 31-year-old Mohammad Sadli Bin Razali, who Channel NewsAsia understands is the police officer who sustained gunshot wounds.
....Muhammad Iskandar attempted to escape and a struggle ensued, during which he snatched the police officer's revolver. Shots were fired from the revolver."

Re: RE: Re: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Shooting
Not so... single and double action applies to all types of pistols. I own a Ruger P89D 9mm semi-auto. I keep one in the chamber. There is no need to cock it... squeezing the trigger will cock it.Sporkin wrote:I think single and double action specifically refers to revolvers rather than pistols in general.

Re: RE: Re: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Shooting
I thought in an empty semi-auto pistol, if you just load the clip and don't cock it, the chamber is empty,
or maybe cocking is not the term for that, sliding the bolt carrier back?

Re: RE: Re: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Shooting
for officers, they'll need to load the arm once they are deployed for duty.. there will always be a round inside the chamberSporkin wrote:I thought in an empty semi-auto pistol, if you just load the clip and don't cock it, the chamber is empty,
