Fun fact, the Smith and Wesson third generation of semi automatic pistols, has a magazine disconnect. This means that when there is a magazine, not inserted into the gun the trigger mechanism is disengaged and the weapon will not fire. 😂
Not that I’m disputing this, I’m no expert on firearms, especially mechanisms but does that also work dependent on the weapons condition. Slide already racked with one in the chamber- with no magazine would the trigger still operate or not?
@osiris8637 Yes, some guns are made so that even with a round chambered the gun will not fire. Theory being if someone is trying to take your gun from you, dump the mag and it won't fire
@kcamroccamian I'd say it's on the bluff side. Not to say criminals can't be smart but Vick probably assumed that the crew didn't know much about firearms so they wouldn't know he was bluffing

@@gin.gefilms hell yeah man I was thinking about Raylan as well, but agreed that Hood is closer to Mackey. If you liked Banshee check out Strike Back seasons 2-5, Scott and Stonebridge are great characters and it has some great shooting action. The hand to hand sucks though, thankfully there's not too much of it. The first season was a British production exclusively and was a much different show.
The Shield did have a little bit of episodic " fat " that could have been cut without impinging on the shows arc, but BB had a few whole episodes that really didn't add anything to the series narrative.
The Sopranos is the greatest show of all time. The Shield has the greatest television ending of all time. Breaking Bad has the greatest episode of all time
There's never been anything close to The Shield. NYPD Blue, Narcos, Sopranos, Yellowstone, Better Call Saul and others all excellent. All those shows were TV Heroin. Shield was next level Fentanyl.
There's never going to be another show like the shield and there's never going to be another character like Vic Mackey. Until society grows a set of balls and quit being so soft at the very least.
I think you're missing the point of the character. He is extremism. Ends justify means. Someone does this shit on you, your life goes straight to shit and you don't get a way out. And he laughs while he does it.
vince gilligan had so much influence in breaking bad ranging from the sopranos the wire dexter and especially the shield “this is not meth” is directly influenced by this scene good shit🤜🤛💯

Bad ass
One of my favourite scenes. Always loved when he says 'I got one in the chamber dickhead, your homies were too stoned to realise.' absolute badass.
"stoned to notice"

Haha first thing I thought too. I just told myself that Vic knew enough to deactivate that, or he just does a good bluff.
This is true but many police agencies had this option removed by their armorer or right from the factory . It’s an option that can be removed .

Vic could've drew his backup revolver. The revolver we never seen him fire.
Think he quit carrying it after IAD screwed up the sting with the Russians. Don't believe I've ever saw him have it after that.

@@kainlives7958Wrong.
New York undercover is granddaddy to all
The Wire is the best written cop show ever…period.
Love that
The. Very very good serie
Well, the video lived up to the title.
Vic Mackey and Jax Teller should have a conversation
They did and Vic ran him over
When he heard oh he has a bullet in the chamber. It was at that moment he knew he fucked up.
i wish gta 6 would have based their main character off Vic Mackey renegade cop
Daaaaamn that'd be badass 👍👍
a the shield aproach to gta 6 could also be really cool
Best and worst cop ever on tv.
Best cop series ever made.
I loved this show I watched every episode multiple times because there was nothing on TV like the shield.
Its always the youngest gang members who out to prove themselves by doing something stupid.

What a great fucking show.

I'm sure he didn't know you at all.
He also played THING from fantastic four ( chiklis not butter bean ) and was in last season of sons of anarchy
You didn't know Butterbean, the Heavyweight Boxer was a badass?!? Lol
Butterbean could never touch vic on this show
Vic standing there like JC Denton from Deus Ex.
Ain't that the dude from Pawn Stars...
How do you adequately describe how good this show was?
Vic is searching for Lem's killer here, right? He's crazy, but not normally THAT crazy.
Exactly. This and going in alone when they got an address on Guardo. Dude was on a fuckin mission
no, Rocha had kidnapped his kids frm mexico and brought them to LA...vic's mexi federale buddy had requested Rocha in exchange for Guardo

good shit🤜🤛💯
Best tv cop of that time!
yo what do they do when the cable guy gotta fix something, they don’t pay me enough to deal with those savages
Problem is that pistol (S&W 5906) has a magazine safety, so it would not fire without the magazine.
Vic was lying
It's a 4506-1. Not a 5906....

In real life this will never play out well. They'd shoot his gun.

Dang.
vic was a badass who feared nothing. he went in with 1 in the chamber only and was outnumbered and could have been killed
too bad S&W gen 3 autos like this 4506 can't fire without the magazine. But great scene
Which episode is this?
season 6 episode 2. Baptism by fire
No that's would be just cruel making a cop decide via the brotherhood to kill his own son
Vic Mackey did nothing wrong.
