There have been times in the USA where I have seen SWAT snipers take out a perp by shooting the gun right out of his hand! Of course that isn't the same as shooting the suspect repeatedly like the woman in the video did, but the said sniper had orders to take a shoot to diffuse the situation and he took that opportunity to shoot a gun out of the hands of an abductor (much like in the video). I really wish I had a video to show you guys of that exact situation but I can't find it... I know at least one of you has seen it! It's always broadcast on those cop shootout shows... Basically some guy threatens to kill himself and SWAT snipers are given the order to shoot the gun out of his hand if they are presented with the perfect opportunity, and one sniper gets that chance and does it... Cops then move in and cuff the suspect and no one is hurt. Pretty damn amazing and ballsy on the cop's behalf!
