Notice the shooting doesn't seem to faze your best friend at all - mine would be running for the hills with his tail between his legs (if he had one LOL)

Another great video, I've enjoyed them all very much!
Its doubly nice to see these police guns in action as even if I were ever to have a chance to own one, it would be neutered to 5 rounds max. according to our ridiculous gun laws here.
Looking forward to the next one fellas!

Yes, this would be the same rifle you remember.
I have three FNs, but this is the only plain barreled one.

As far as I know, the holes were just to lighten the stock. Those are pretty cool (and usefull!) finds in your guns.
