After firing each shot, the gunman racked back the pistol to load a new round, then racked it again when it jammed, John Monaghan, a retired NYPD captain, told CNN on Friday.

“It’s a very unique weapon. The length of the barrel in that video right there tells us it most probably is a veterinary pistol,” he added.

Yeah, that guy just had no idea what he was talking about...

Vets rarely use gunpowder pistols, at most they use these weird pistols that require the barrel being removed to load each round, and only like a 3 inch barrel max, often barely longer than the bullet even. One always gets posted in gun deal communities as a joke for like $99.99

I 100% see reading that article and assuming he knew what he was talking about tho.

But especially with the NYPD, a lot of captains are fucking idiots and wildly corrupt, Eric Adams was one too. They don't rise they the ranks by being good cops, they make captain by being corrupt.
