Has anyone seen the video of the shooting in Paris doing the rounds on fb? Is it real? If so a policeman shot in the head from 3 feet away with a ak47, yet no blood or splater on the pavement.
{Ed033's Note - if the video is real, then the guy wasn't shot, imo. Maybe a blank was shot instead. These videos have been removed from youtube.
Sorry just took a look down the page, should have known you guys would have been on to this long before me lol, fab1

Yeah seen it. very bizarre, i can not believe anyone could miss from that range even if the adrenalin was pumping, that leaves two options.
1. it was blanks
2. it was a warning shot to stay on the floor then the 2nd shot killed him.

Franky, an AK-47 uses 762 ammo which would make theory number 2 improbable.
Weapons using that caliber of bullets are banned globally, due to a weapons treaty at UN level. The reason for this, according to the UN, is that their impact and its result is too brutal even for war.
In simpler terms, if one would get hit from such a bullet at a distance of up to about 400m on a limb, said limb would be detached from the body. If the torso was hit, one would be left with a small entry wound but a large exit wound due to the bullet's high speed and weapon barrel dependent rotation.
Thus, if either the pavement or a human body laying on the pavement was shot from 2m away, it would definitely be visible in the video.
Theory number one seems to be the most reasonable explanation.
Some additional, irrelevant and disturbing information:
The UN indirectly encourages the use of ammo of 556 caliber, which rather than instantly killing people, mostly injures them. Thereby providing the shooter with more targets, as the wounded's friends attempt to rescue him. Evidently instant death is more cruel a fate, than being terrorized and conditioned for apathy.

Like I said zari I am no expert on firearms, are you saying that if he missed by accident or on purpose there would be a bigger imprint on the ground than it seems?

Exactly franky. If there were bullets in that weapon, the result of a shot from that distance would have been evident to everyone watching that video, hit or miss.
