Serbu refuses to sell .50 cal sniper rifles to NYPD

[alxone]

Cops dont need 50bmgs.

i disagree . cops in largely populated areas should have very limited access . those coastal/border states should have less restriction .

Good for Serbu. Maybe NYPD wants to use a 50BMG as a breaching tool or more realistically to stop a drug lord in his armored car.

And in related news, the Tuscon gun shop where Mark Kelly purchased an AR cancels his order!

I had to laugh when I got to this part:

What’s interesting about this is that while Serbu makes a fine firearm and impressive .50 BMG rifles, they’re not a first-tier company in the sniper rifle world and are perhaps best known for their compact Super-Shorty shotguns.
Two of the biggest names in sniper rifles, Barrett and ArmaLite, have already stated that they will not sell to the police departments of New York. If the NYPD is calling Serbu, we have to wonder how many other companies have told them to keep walking.

I had to laugh when I got to this part:

especially with the Serbu 2 weeks (actually two year) delivery time. plus the fact that you cant find any specifics on accuracy on the internet about the serbu 50. which looks like a complete rip off of Chris and Ronnies design.
