That's kinda funny actualy, they can catch the guys shortly after if they have a car, but not on a mountain bike hahaha!

Funny that he gets away on a mountain bike - but what if your wife, girlfriend or mother were in his way when he decided to shoot his way out of the bank - not so funny.....:p

Chances are he doesn't even have a gun. Many bank robbers never have guns or bombs. Sometimes they have fake ones.

The ones that really have guns wait until the cops show up and come out shooting.....remember this one?

Depends on the gun. If you shoot an M-16 you won't feel any recoil. A 12 Gauge shotgun.....now that's a different story.

If you shoot an M-16 from a moving bicycle you had better have a Class III FFL (or be in the commision of a felony anyways, and just add it to the charges).... If you shoot an AR-15 (the civilian semi-auto version) from a moving bicycle, well, I'd actually love to see it, so get it on film.

A few will recognize it as the venerable M4...it kicks alright, too bad most, about 98% in these forums will never touch one let alone fire one....I hope honestly you never get the chance....:p
