Default so you have a bad day

and your 911 is having some engine problem ... just shoot the bastard!

http://www.odditycentral.com/news/ow...ing-squad.html

" 140 gun-wielding men, women and children shot more than 10,000 bullets at the poor Porsche putting its sturdy body to the ultimate test. Although it was ultimately reduced to a pierced pile of junk, members of Comm2A were surprised about how well it held up against the rain of led. There was little damage done to the passenger side of the Porsche, where bullets seemed unable to penetrate the gas tank. Only the larger, high-velocity rounds managed to pierce both sides of the car. "

I'll do that to their pickup trucks to see how they feel. On top of that they chose the color newly reinstated as fastest!

lol

No worry. This is an exercise to show why silver 911 are not only fast it's bullet proof. This is why German police use it in their fleet

guess the 7 series is more bulletproof

911 is just not large enough target. Should have shot at a NASCAR instead

I was going to say the same thing. These guys have horrible shooting ability. Probably why they need large magazines and rapid fire capability.
