I cant remember the full details but does anybody remember a ways back about two armed robbers robbing a bank wearing full body armor taking on a police force and they couldn't touch them?
I think that this is what this song is about does anybody know what I'm talking about?
It was a cold winter's morning
somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM
the armored car they wanted to heist wasn't coming
so instead they went for the bank
The fateful duo that sat in the get-away car
heavily sedated with thousands of rounds
armor piercing, fully automatic weapons
the bowls of wrath poured out on the ground
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife
getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
and brought down the beast!!!
This was an accident waiting to happen
It wasn't if it would happen, it was when
The city's people sabotaged themselves
calling their firepower unneeded expense
The two most violent men it seemed couldn't be stopped
standard police issued guns were just not enough
But SWAT arrived to settle the fight
Between AK-47 and AR-15
Megadeth-44 minutes

You talking about the two guys that robbed the bank out in the Hollywood area back around 1996? I was driving coast to coast back then and I was about 5 miles away from all that while it was happening. I can remember listening to it live on the radio as it was going down. I later watched the documentary on it and saw some of the live footage-freakin' incredible.

Well at least they were somewhat smart bank robbers. I remember when someone robbed a local bank and were easily caught because they were wearing an old army jacket with their name on it while holding the place up. 
On a related subject, Megadeth kicks ass.
