Video shows woman’s miraculous escape from gunman in Paris attacks

Surveillance footage from La Casa Nostra restaurant captures terrifying scene

By Dylan Stableford | Yahoo News


Watch at 0:35 when it jams and the lucky women diners escaped :biggrin:


Surveillance footage from inside La Casa Nostra restaurant, Nov. 13, 2015. (The Daily Mail)

It was a typically lively Friday night at La Casa Nostra restaurant in Paris. Men and women were eating and drinking at tables, both inside and out, on an unseasonably warm fall evening. Behind the bar, a pair of staffers were chatting away, laughing.

Then the glass began to shatter.

Video footage from three surveillance cameras — obtained by the Daily Mail and released Thursday — captured the terrifying moment a gunman outside the eatery opened fire in one of seven coordinated attacks that killed 129 people across Paris.

One of the closed-circuit videos shows panicked patrons and staffers ducking for cover as gunfire rips through the restaurant and glass rains down on tables inside. A woman who reportedly had been shot in the wrist runs inside, pulling out her cellphone and taking refuge behind the bar as one of the bartenders comforts her.

In another, a gunman can be seen standing over a woman who had ducked under a table outside, pointing his gun at her and appearing to squeeze the trigger.

But the gun, which appears to be a Kalashnikov, does not fire, and seconds later the unidentified woman stands up and runs away. The gunman then disappears from view, though a car — believed to be one used by the attackers — is seen parked by the curb.

The entire assault lasted less than a minute, but for those who were at the cafe on Friday night, their haunting memories will no doubt last much, much longer.

All automatic firearms jam. The AK-47 jams far less especially in challenging environments.

The AK-47 has proven itself in more than a half-century of the Cold War. Still the most rugged, most reliable, most affordable maintenance, and beloved of all military police, paramilitary troops, guerrillas, criminals and civilians alike. The standard by which all assault rifles are assessed. The M16 falls short on many counts, not least of all reliability.

1. No platoon sgt do Stand By Rifle. No maintenance.

2. Using bad ammos expired and too old conditions, blind rounds, need to IA.

3. During attack ran out of ammo. Needs re-load.

Try and assault the guards on Moscow Red Square, show me their Kaladnikov jams. Your weapons jams 10X before theirs got any troubles. :wink:

The AK-47 used by the terrorist probably ran out of ammo. I say this because if it was really jammed, it would have taken the shooter one to 2 seconds to clear the jam. He could have easily cleared it while he was still standing over the women and shot them. But he had one clip and I guess just ran out of ammo. AKs seldom jam.

The standard for all assault rifles is hardly the AK-47. I would say its the Galil. Even the later versions of M-16 like the M-4 are outstanding. I would take one of those over the AK any day. The AK is a dinosaur. Its not as accurate and its much heavier. Nowadays your need a picatinny rail on your assault rifle to mount all your accessories and you just don't have that with the AK. It's popular around the world because its reliable and very cheap. So are Kias and Hyundais, but you would'nt say that a Kia or a Hyundai are the standard by which all other cars are measured.

SAF SAR-21 still the best! Lucky terrorists don't have our rifle! It would give them the decisive edge over NATO, just like us over the rest of the ASEAN's crappy military forces!

The gunsmiths allover the world already learn from CB useless American Clot AR-15 M-16 notorious faulty designs and copied Soviet Kalashnikov principles, including especially Pussy SG SAR-21.

The fault us very STUPID n the Soviet strong point is very SIMPLE.

M-16 AR-15 FOOLISHLY channels muzzle gas back into it's mechanically complicated Bolt-Carrier, causing powder pollution accumulated inside bolt-carrier and if not spending lots of maintenance time, it surely JAMS. And getting their users killed by enemies AK-47.

AK-47 has many low cost mechanism simplicity and reliability advantage in design, particularly in contrast against stupid expensive USA M-16, is it's gas operation DOES NOT channel any gas nor powders into the rear mechanism area of itself at all. There is only a very simply reliable gas-piston close to the muzzle, from it transferred the gas pressure into an ultra simple and reliable push-rod towards the back, to cock the bolt and ammo plus firing hammer. That way it will simply and reliably fire every round of ammo, durable in worst harsh conditions bof war field, seldom fail.

Kills lots of America-linked bastard enemies.

Huat Ah!


Where does AK-47 powders goes? Shot and pushed out of their muzzles. The push-rod push back the gas piston as each round of ammo loads into chamber, simply pushed the gas and powders out through the muzzles. That simplicity is so reliable and durable. Unlike the stupid M-16, powders got inside bolt-carrier, DOES NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO DISCHARGE from gun. If does not jam means it does not work, because stupid Americans DESIGNED this TO JAM!

You are still living in the Vietnam war. This topic of AK versus M-16 has been debated ad nauseum. The earlier versions of the M-16 were misrepresented to the soldiers as a self cleaning weapon, as well, a dirtier cartridge was issued that fouled the gas tubes. If the soldiers had cleaned their weapons during their downtime, it would have been as reliable as the AK in a firefight. The modern M-16 i.e. M-4 family is much more reliable. And you still have not solved the issue of a lack of a picatinny rail.

If you're talking about sophistication and accuracy and weight, yes, the AK doesn't rank up there with the latest incarnations of the M16. I was thinking more along the lines of ruggedness and reliability and its ability to function as a workhorse under the most testing of conditions. In those respects plus cost, the AK has no rivals. It is more like the Toyota or Seiko of assault rifles, not Kia or Hyundai.

There s no debates.

Only factually pointing out superiority vs handicap rifle technologies.

You think can find anything to debate by sily arguments that a faulty rifle designed to Jam can work by using powder-free ammo?

That's silly childish satisfaction like drinking caffeine-free coffee, defeating prime purposes. :biggrin:

M-16 JAMS besides from ammunition powders, war field dirts, desert sand, soil, m&d, every damn things soldiers encountered, will jam it. AK are all robust, tested and proven in wars and labs, that will be so reliable. Fires cheapest ammos, in extreme environmental conditions.

Period.

Rifles copying AK concept, such as SAF's can NOT ACHIEVE the Soviet quality of SUPERIOR WEAPONS.
