There’s this guy who got a taxbill from his watercompany.
They ask him for several hundred euros.
When this guy checks his administration he finds out he already paid those.
The guy phones the helpdesk of the company where they keep him waiting for hours and hours and make him listen to Toto and other eighties music.
Every 15 minutes he gets this young dumb phone hen on the other end of the line, to which he has to explain the whole goddamn situation again.
He’s supposed to be put through to some financial department but after some other 15 minutes the connection is terminated.
The day after he phones again in the hope he’ll be able to reach someone and sure enough after ONLY 18 minutes he gets a hold of some muppet of the financial department.
This muppet tells him to write a letter together with the tax aplication number and his social security number and adress and shortly explains the situation together with proof of an already paid tax, drawn from his bankaccount.
The guy does this and rests assured now that the problem is solved.
Some weeks later he receives a threatletter urging him to pay another additional fine for not paying his…watertax bill…
The guy phones up, same story: one brainless Brenda after another and in the end the fucking connection gets terminated.
Now this guy feels like he’s ready to do some terminating himself.
Hypothetically speaking ofcourse there are 3 floors in the watercompany’s building.
a frontdesk with 3 employees and approximately 30 to 40 desks with people on the other 2 floors.
let’s go with 40 desks.
times 2 makes 80 desks.
20 to 30% of the employees wont be at their desks due to sickness, holiday or pregnancy leave.
Let’s say there are roughly 65 people there.
What kind of gun would the guy hypothetically have to use to POSITIVELY kill EVERY office dweller in that building?
especially the financial department?
keep in mind: the ammo must be able to penetrate office deks and barricaded toilet doors.
Cost /benefit ratio, coupled with the price of bullets, would make this endeavor a waste of effort, time, and bullets. If he would just go there in person with a box of pastries, he could throw them in the middle of the room, inducing a stampede that wipe out all of the smaller ones. The remaining would then fight each other for the pastries with the survivors self inducing heart attacks from eating all of the pastries.
Since you’ll be firing into an office, I think ballistic weaponry is an inferior choice. Many desks are large, made of metal, and would provide significant opportunities for cover for your intended targets. You would spend too much time searching behind desks, which would affect your kill count. Armed police officers would nearly certainly arrive before you finished, and kill count would be further diminished.
Might I suggest switching to some sort of explosive? Fragmentation grenades would certainly overcome some of the limitations of any ballistic weapon, yet are portable enough that they would not require a vehicle mount.
You might also consider some sort of incendiary grenade on the first floors of the building. Properly dispersed, you could involve enough of the building in flames to eliminate opportunities for escape, and occupants of the other floors would be eliminated by smoke or fire, as the fire spread. I realize that this solution might not be as satisfying as personally shooting each worker, but it would certainly be more efficient.
I hope this helps. Where do you live, so I can watch the news there?
what would you say to the guy if he said that he would like to use a flamethrower?
if the offices are fairly large it shouldnt cause any problems right?
We had a situation here in Louisville at the Standard Gravure where we had a lone shooter (Wesbecker) take out several co-workers and wound numerous others. The shooter did most of his damage in random shootings with handgun and shotgun.
The training common for active shooter scenarios is to secure the area, call for support (commo, mobile TOC, SRT, etc). Before full support arrives, IF you have area secured and 3-5 officers, you can make a entry using diamond formation and clear immediate area, then be relieved by heavier forces, but this pre-supposes that shots are still being fired.
The moral of the story, if you are prone to that sort of action, is to use shotgun loaded with high-brass 00 Buckshot and be prepared to keep moving. Carry sufficient re-loads, work quick and roll up body count. You will need handgun backup for cleaning up after near misses. The Buckshot should be sufficient for penetrating doors/desks at less than 20 yards, so it can take care of those elcting to hide. The range, spread of shot and firepower should make the work wet and quick.
But then, none of us here would do anything like that.
Answer a question for me. Recvd email indicating another post on this particular thread. When I went to see what was posted, it was a different color/background/etc. And, the title changed. Did I screw up?
