Did you see how does guys aim, they are aiming quickshot style which fires off quickly however lacks accuracy in hitting its target. Instead of holding the gun the right way these guys use quickshot method or thug style ahooting by holding the gun horizontally instead of vertical.

I wish these knuckleheads would take some marksmanship lessons. I could care less if they kill each other but they always seem to hurt innocent bystanders because they don't know the first thing about aiming.

Absolutely agree.

These hoods are more likely to shoot a bystander than their targets.
I dont mind if they take each out as it is the fine work of natuaral selection at its best, but it is a shame that because they think it looks cool or gansta to hold the gun like that they can't even shoot an elephant.

You misunderstand the purpose of firing a weapon for these clowns.

The intent is to represent gang strength and refusal to be intimidated, and willingness to pull a firearm and use it.

It's a symbolic act ,somewhat like an animal baring its teeth.

Back to the original question - in the summertime, I probably hear shooting about once every 2 weeks (I even heard like 10-12 shots on a Sunday morning around 9 AM back in August). But I personally have never seen anything as dramatic as the video posted. One time I was in the projects around my way and I saw a guy pull out a gun on three guys in broad daylight but he didn't shoot. This happened like 6 years ago.

that innocent bystander talking on the cell is hilarious. He was not even worried about getting hit because the accuracy is so poor. All he needs to do is stand near the targets LOLZ. And those shooters were not even worried either. They did not bother to take cover. Are they Crips? They were wearing blue.

That could just be the result of being distracted by the cell phone. I somtimes see people walking across streets with their faces in their phone without looking both ways for cars first.

Yea I think we've all been in that little twilight zone where the world could be ending and you wouldn't even notice because you're milling around like a zombie on the phone lol
