Rapid Fire Pistols!!

A thief broke into a popular gun shop in Seminole County, Fla., and stole 12 pistols for the third time in as many months, according to a Local 6 News report. The man was then videotaped stealing rapid-fire pistols, the report said.

Holy Sweet Bananas, what do we do!?! He's got a RAPID-FIRE PISTOL! Wait. You're telling me that there's no such thing as a "rapid-fire pistol" and that they almost all shoot only as fast as you can pull the trigger (except for sigle-action revolvers and certain... "modified" Glock pistols)? Hmm... Well, I'm going to go ahead and use the term anyway. [/sensationalist journalist]

"My guess is they would be used to commit other criminal acts on the streets of Central Florida," Casselberry police Lt. Dennis Stewart said. "So, it's a more than a probable guess that they're not going to be going into legitimate business but some type of a criminal enterprise."

We've got freaking Sherlock Holmes on our hands here. Denny, you're telling me that this guy did NOT drop in through the roof and steal these guns in order to use them in "legitimate business"??? Your powers of deduction are astonishing.

The thing that most people don't know, is that the records for rapid firing a handgun are held by revolvers, not autoloaders.

That's true, I've got the video. Wish I had a good way to post it.
