NARRATOR: There is always the gun.
(gunshot)
Even the old fashioned Smith & Wesson 38 revolver,
is capable of penetrating a house door,
from a distance of 60 yards.
(shotgun cocking)
The shotgun, firing buckshot,
will penetrate a car door from 20 yards.
(gunshot)
Anyone behind that door will be hit.
The high velocity sniper rifle
can penetrate a foot thick railway sleeper,
from a distance of half a mile.
(gunshot)
Such weapons and ammunition
are increasingly in evidence at scenes of violent crime.
As a result,
Police forces are now themselves
equipped with a range of modern weapons,
including Heckler & *** MP5 carbines and shotguns.
