A Times Square bloodbath was narrowly avoided because the
machine-pistol-toting thug who fired at a cop flipped the gun on its
side like a character out of a rap video, causing the weapon to jam
after two shots, law-enforcement sources said yesterday.
When scam artist Raymond "Ready" Martinez held the MAC-10-style gun
parallel to the ground, it caused the ejecting shells to "stovepipe,"
or get caught vertically in the chamber, the sources said. The gun is
designed to be fired only in a vertical position.
If he had fired the weapon -- which had another 27 rounds in the clip
-- properly, Martinez, 25, could have killed the hero cop pursuing him
and countless others walking through the swarming tourist mecca
Thursday morning.
Looks like those rap videos saved some lives by
misinforming another ignorant thug.

Only the one who erupted so far. Don't worry, there are
still more misinformed ignorati out there, awaiting their
turn to display their incompetence. While the videos and
movies of thugs firing their guns sideways, as if to
emphasize their coolness, we have only to hope that gun
mfg.'s don't make guns that can work that way.
