3000 feet per second. it will probably fire very rapidly. it s very difficult to go up against that type of weaponry, if you just have a sidearm, which those officers may have had. that s probably all they were equipped with. they had no idea that they were willing to engage someone with a high powered rifle. in addition to that, someone who would ve been in kevlar. his engagement put him at a superior place of power, and still, we know he was able to penetrate that building until other officers arrived. i don t know whether they were tactical, swat teams, they got their first and put him down. whatever the case may be, it s very challenging to go up against superior firepower. we saw the same thing in buffalo, where you had the subject there, armed with a high powered weapon, dressed in
