Manhunt in Belgium for rogue soldier armed with anti tank missiles & P90

[Santos J]

Bit of a mad one.

Apparently the missiles have since been recovered, still armed with a handgun & P90 with "armour piercing ammo".

Over 400(!) soldiers/police from Belgium & more from Netherlands, Germany & Luxembourg out looking now.

The anti-tank weaponry is troubling, but why worry about how he works out? Poor joke

Especially if you own a tank.

Little known fact. Anti tank missiles work on bikes.

Glad the UK is out of this chaos.

This has to be a parody post. This is a parody post, right?

@simonhch

This is why you need the military to help you recruit

 

[AaronRedDevil]

This has the makings of a great movie.

I thought this was marketing for the next Mission Impossible

FYI the P90 and it's counterpart Five-Seven handgun, both designed and produced by FN Herstal, uses a specially designed 5.7x28mm round deisgned to piece certain types of body armor.

Clearly going for an anti-tank focused loadout, will have a hard time if he comes up against assault rifle players in open terrain.

You caught me lying.

He'll be more than a match for anyone. The P90 has a 50 round magazine and its effective range matches or betters most common assault rifles.

Mad scenes, looks like it's coming right out of a Hollywood movie.

The guy has been under surveillance and on our government's anti-terrorism list for years, yet was still employed by the army and had free access to the weapon arsenal without any trouble. Has experience in pretty much every relevant "war" country since the 90s so won't be easily caught if he doesn't want to, it's a very big area as well where he's hiding. Police and army apparently have a license to kill as soon as they spot him (or so I've read). He also issued a death threat to our most vocal virologist who's now been hiding in a safe house since Tuesday, ffs.

The saddest part about this whole thing is that he's being lauded as a hero by the Facebook and news website replies, they're sickening to read. Our country is fecked.

How's this type of ballistic even available to civilians ? Did he have access because of his army ties ?

He did what now? And why?!?

 

[JPRouve]

It's a crazy story though, apparently he was on terrorist list due to his link with far right groups.

I'm not sure. But we can buy them here in Canada and the US. The rounds are crazy expensive and not commonly available as they are produced in limited numbers.

I'm not sure about Belgian laws so this guy probably has access due to his military ties.

I was making a videogame joke, Dwazza. Need to fire a P90 at a range one day though. The whole setup looks really funky.

And he was still in the military?

 

[JPRouve]

Yup, it's a very strange one and even stranger for something like that to be revealed.

 

[Hectic]

so won't be easily caught if he doesn't want to, it's a very big area as well where he's hiding.

Better check the alcoves. You use this word, alcoves?

That's how he got in. whitetext

Thanks, though it would've been a little bit weird if he had armor piercing ammo for a different gun.

Had this been in America we'd see the 'murica posts! Haters!

We can still hate America.
I blame waffles.

To be fair no one has been shot yet. In America it's generally the starting point.

They're everywhere man.

Plus this guy had to join the army to get his hands on an automatic weapon. The sort of long game your average American school shooter doesn’t need to contemplate.

Wouldn't that be a good thing in this situation? Shoot the mofo.

So he's an anti-vaxxer?

The point being in that situation you'd probably be hearing about the school first.

Ironically, even the shooter who did the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, bought his weapon at a gun store.

He's a top marksman instructor with armor piercing bullets.
