I'd rather not name him publicly, since some of what he has said could get him into legal trouble if he isn't just blowing smoke and it's what he actually practices.

Had a CPT once tell me that a .50 BMG round could cause an aneurysm if it passed within 6" of your head. I was a PV2 at the time so I kind of believed him then. Not sure about it now, but a bit more believable than tearing an arm off from a foot away. That shop owner needs to be careful that some off duty cop isn't in there listening in when he says stuff like that.
