the AR buying spree was after the North Hollywood bank robbery and shoot out where a couple of guys with full auto AKs were out of the range of LAPD's pistols and shotguns.

Several officers also appropriated AR-15 and other semi-automatic rifles from a nearby firearms dealer. The incident sparked debate on the need for patrol officers to upgrade their firepower in preparation for similar situations in the future.[4]
If it were me, I would have grabbed a bolt action that uses a real rifle round. Even if something like, say, 7mm mag, didn't penetrate the plates, it would probably knock them to the ground.
I thought my choice of trail guns were old school.
