How come the Japanese police guns are attached to their cars by what looks like phone cords? This is from the anime Highschool of the Dead, the zombies are fiction but I've been told their depiction of guns are very accurate.
...and it's not a taser, it fired bullets.

Google "Coiled pistol lanyard" you retard
>imfdb.org
Thanks for the link! Now I know the gun is M37, but it doesn't explain the cord!
lol at the fagget retard who doesn't know about obscure law enforcement small arms accessories.
why hasn't op just ended it already?
pathetic
It's a lanyard, attached to their belt not the car. It keeps them from losing the damn thing/getting it stolen.

you're legitimately retarded.
you do understand pistol lanyards have been a thing for like ~300 years... right?
>"Coiled pistol lanyard"
Thanks, so they attach these to cars in Japan? THAT paranoid about it being stolen?
I'm in Canada, I've never seen a police officer with guns drawn in real life, and when I've seen it on TV I've never seen it with the cord thing except here. I figured Jow Forums would know, thanks.
It's common in European and Asian countries, hence lanyard loops on many import guns, typically guns that have heel mag releases.
try 30 years. and it's still pretty common in the military or in certain police jurisdictions

it's attached to a the belt. it's a sling for pistols, more or less, except it doesn't help with aiming at all, it's purely to make sure that if you drop your pistols, it isn't lost.
>Nogunz leaf making the rest of us leafs look bad, again
Neck yourself faggot
Probably for the same reason most pistols used to have lanyards. To prevent them from geting out of reach of the officer using them. There are number of benefits to using a lanyard. To keep it in arms reach, to keep from dropping it to where the officer can’t retreve it, possibly to keep someone attempting to steal the gun from getting too far away from the officer, to the point at which the officer can’t physically fight back or attempt to retrieve the gun. Guns aren’t exactly easy to acquire and Japanese society, especially pistols. They could be a prime target for an enterprising criminal to steal. I’m certain there’s also some other cultural reasons to this as well.
>It's a lanyard, attached to their belt not the car.
Ah, just looked more closely at the scene, it's the angle I guess:
youtu.be
Before you guys told me it was a lanyard attached to the belt, I was wondering if it was something that could keep track of how many bullets are fired and store it on the police car or something, since Japan have crazy tech and are so strict on gun use (I know in Hong Kong, British Hong Kong at least, the police have to file a bunch of report just for taking their gun out of the holster, even if they didn't fire it).
>you do understand pistol lanyards have been a thing for like ~300 years... right
No, I've NEVER seen it before, and I've seen plenty of movies with guns in it, like Dirty Harry.
I'm just not a gun expert. I'm in Canada, I have depression (if I have a gun I would have done it earlier when I was unwell), and I'm near sighted that if there were zombies, or even human rioters, I would prefer something like a sword because I can't judge distance very well.
They came in with revolvers, so I'd expect a large part of the popularity also relates to not having it hit hard ground and break or blow your foot off as well.
But seriously, I have NEVER seen a gun lanyard before outside of this anime, and I've seen plenty of police procedural, like Criminal Minds and CSI.
It's been a long time since my westerns phase but I don't remember Clint Eastwood having a pistol lanyard in his cowboy movies or the Dirty Harry one either.
I've seen plenty of pictures of police with their guns drawn, taken from footages, at Daily Mail, and I don't remember lanyards either!
Not to mention cavalry troops not wanting to lose their gun.
lanyards are long enough that they will most certainly allow the gun to strike the ground. even when on horseback. it's literally so you don't loose the gun if you fall off the horse, have to drop a gun to do something (new york reload, et c) or have to resort to a sword or something. yes it's pretty old tech, but it's still used today for it's original purpose
Go back to r*ddit.
>Clint Eastwood having a pistol lanyard in his cowboy movies or the Dirty Harry
Lanyards usually have a professional context you won't find in western bandits/survivalists or cops gone rogue. Not to mention
>hollywood
>knowing about guns
>lanyards are long enough that they will most certainly allow the gun to strike the ground
Not if you have a revolver without a transfer bar they aren't. Or for that matter a sword.
The coily lanyards' single purpose is to stop crayon eaters leaving their pistol in the shitter.
television and hollywood in general are usually terrible at depicting actual gunplay. you may as well say you learned about cars from watching formula 1.
lanyards for cavalry in the US were worn at the belt, not the neck. being caught and dragged off a horse because your pistol that got yanked and caught in a leg is moronic. the neck lanyard is a Europe thing.
Wearing a lanyard that long in the first place would be moronic.
US forces were largely an amateurish joke until WW1 showed them how shit gets done.
>cavalry pistols
A veteran and a cop and still a faggot who doesn't know anything.
youd want a club or a spear a sword actually needs training. You will have shitty edge alignment and only deliver glancing blows
The guy used a lanyard twice in a professional capacity and cited that it was still reasonably common in his experience. Where on earth is "cavalry pistol" from?
Probably because that is where they were first used close to 300 years ago, not 30 as the "expert" said.
Hes trying to correct the first poster by saying pistol lanyards have only been around 30 years not 300 but in fact they have been used by mounted cavalry for much longer than the supposed veteran suggests
y'all postin in a troll thread yo
probably censorship. in metal gear solid peace walker the electric stun rod knife thingy is a "tickle" rod in japan
You do realise that not everyone is a gun expert and not every post made to a board is necessary by a regular right? I posted here because I figure Jow Forums would know what that thing is while /a/ would not.
I don't make fun of serial plant killers when they post at /an/, or posters at /ck/ who can't cook...
The only real gun I've ever saw was behind a glass display at the Royal Ontario Museum...I had neighbours who were hunters but their guns are locked up and while my brother is besties with their son and joins them on trips, I don't.
>their depiction of guns are very accurate
Dont you got a needle to pick up
what the fuck kind of "expertise" is required to know that a string leading from a gun to a holster is a fucking lanyard
This is why whiteoids shouldnt have guns
>attach these to cars
LOOK AT THE FUCKING IMAGE
hOLY fuck you're retarded.
The depiction of GUNS is pretty faithful, but physics? Nigga this is anime.
>>their depiction of guns are very accurate
That's not an inaccurate depiction of guns but an inaccurate depiction of boobs - pretty average anime standard really, cartoon as well.
At least its not firing the whole cartridge for once...
I've never seen this anywhere else before, not even within this anime till this scene!
Earlier on, police guns were shown twice, this scene:
officers fire their M37s at zombies that are already in body bags
...which is in the news boardcast they were watching in the teachers lounge at the end of episode two or three.
...then when Rei went through a dead cop's cars to search for guns and ammo just before they got to the gas station.
So the first time I see the string thing they were standing in a line in front of their cars.
what's unrealistic about this?
Can I just get a clear answer on how to acquire the S&W revolver variant the Jap police use? I hear the New Nambu M60 is based off the S&W Model 360 but it's not looking like it.
>I hear the New Nambu M60 is based off the S&W Model 360 but it's not looking like it.
I hear that the Model 360 is as close as you can get*, not the other way around
sage for double post
Actually in my area, police (mostly county) do tether their pistols to their cars. It's not all that uncommon. The reason is that their policy states that they can't travel further than 25 yards from their cruisers so it's a helpful reminder. They also train to use them as less lethal weapons, tripping devices and as a hasty alternative to hand-cuffs. Let me know if you have any more questions about law enforcement. I study different departments and offices as a hobby.
That much kinetic energy would turn those boobs into flesh grenades. The explosion would likely turn the ribcage into a broken mess, gushing with liquefied organs.
this bait
Nope. Super common actually.
No, they are paranoid about cars being stolen, hence arming cars
I'm so sad the guy that made this is dead
everybody dies eventually user
Yeha but he dies before he finish his damn project.
Oh yeah, the anime my high school crush recommended to me to try and get me into her hobby. She knew I was big into firearms and thought I'd like it as an introduction into Japanese cartoons. Never bothered to watch it. She was sad, I didn't know why. Level IV armor has nothing on the impenerability of my cranium.
Oh lord, kek
there is nothing obscure about fucking pistol lanyards you stupid fuck.
NO! I WAS EXPECTING A SECOND SEASON GODDAMNIT!

I've got to say it, since nobody else has, that you're supremely retarded. Do you know of a better way to track how many rounds a cop discharge? Why go through the fucking trouble of inventing a fucking sci-fi bullshit electronic counter when you CAN JUST COUNT HOW MANY ROUNDS THEY HAND BACK AND COMPARE THAT NUMBER WITH THE NUMBER OF ROUNDS THEY WENT OUT WITH PREVIOUSLY!
>Canadian
YOU SHAME US, FUCK OFF!
Yes.
Dub has been getting better and better. I still prefer Sub for series where honourific use is very important, etc, but even the creators have came out and said the Dub is superior in some anime, e.g. Trigun.
Highschool of the Dead is set in Japan, but since I group zombies as a western interest I decide to try the dub, which has some funny woolseyism.
High School of the Dead (dub) - episode 6 scene, "Who's her friend?"
youtube.com
"All this zombies and I'm going to get killed by an asian woman driver!"
youtu.be
At some point I'm probably going to to watch the sub, which would probably be less funny, but more intense. I guess the Eng Dub ran away with the source material, kinda reminds me of Hellsing Ultimate Abridged by TeamFourStar.
>NO! I WAS EXPECTING A SECOND SEASON GODDAMNIT!
Me too! I really hope the author had left notes, but unlike the gray haired George R R Martin, he was only in his 50s when he got his fatal heart attack.
Unlike The Walking Dead, HSOD does seem to have a plot that was going somewhere, why were the Chinese submarines approaching? That's where the manga left off.
I think there is enough manga material for an OVA, the mall parts fit into it.
For real you have never seen a lanyard on a gun before?
Another pic related.

LT had a really bad day after that.

It's coiled so it takes up less space then not stretched but still retains a lot of length.
what did you think the lanyard attachments were for then?
They're an important safety measure that needs to come back into fashion, maybe there should be legislation to require all guns have lanyard loops under their grips.
Tuco uses one in the good the bad and the ugly.
jesus christ. that sounds like this pisshole sheriffs deputy from when I was a kid, who wrecked his car while high and drunk, and honestly had no clue where his sidearm and shotgun went to. which was stolen when he was fucking some Mexican girl at a whorehouse. his last name was wells. he was this big fuckhead THIS MANS ARMY type. total fucking pussy and a retard. he got beaten up in a stripclub by some bouncer and claimed it was 35 men he had to fight.
That's because the actor Eli Wallach couldn't holster his gun without looking at it. But having it wrapped around fits him more.
Fucking zoomers, cordless guns haven’t even been around for 25 years yet.
>basing firearms knowledge off popular movies and cartoons
You pulled this from the deepest crevice of your colon. It's clearly a lanyard, and it's apparent you didn't even read a single comment other than OP's, let alone have the personal knowledge about firearms to see the obvious. Lurk moar.
Nah, that award definitely goes to the animators who thought enough about complex boob physics to depict a hypersonic bullet passing between swinging flesh pendula in slow motion, but somehow not realizing the tit velocity would also have to break the sound barrier.
look dad I'm REALLY autistic
you know that image has been around for a long time, right?
>No, I've NEVER seen it before, and I've seen plenty of movies with guns in it, like Dirty Harry.
They mostly only put sexy gun accessories in movies and there's nothing sexy about a dummy cord. You see them in old photos sometimes and cavalry pistols had lanyard loops going all the way back to when troops carried flintlocks.
If you don't think that making up your own universe while actively ignoring a pivotal, mile-wide rulebreaking blind spot counts as autism, you don't know what real autism is.

These fucking things have been used by the US Military for years now. And a lot of other militaries. The new fucking Glock 19X even has a loop for mounting one.
