OT If you're into machine guns.
I once saw an advert made for the Rapier Missile system. It was so mater of
fact as if it was plugging some new chemical treatment for your carpet or something. The guy on the voice over was explaining it as not a missile but a Hittile, because it was so accurate it only needee a small amount of explosive and fragmentation filler to bring down an aircraft. This complete with action footage of a warning of low level air attack with squaddies rotating this battery and the guy in a caravan guiding the missile into an aircraft engine and blowing it to pieces in a split screen with the actual from the ground image. The thing that worried me is where would they show this sort of thing? Presumably trade days at big air shows like Paris and Farnborough, but sures if we are flogging hes to other places then how can we be sure one day they will not be used against us? We did flog them to the Swiss, the nice folk from Jordon and some other nato counties.

One guy had this powerful rifle, with all sorts of anti-recoil technology, bouncing springs, liquid counterweights, what-have-you. From outside the range building, I could hear other rifles sounding as different types of crack, bang, etc. When this one was let off, there was a load 'Whoomph' sound, and all the other shooters would crane their necks round to see what was going on. The owner used it mainly to kill ground squirrels on his brother's land. -- Davey. |

And it makes a lot more sense to tip the contents of the water bottle down the barrel too. Gunna make **** all difference either way tho. |
