I think you might want to check that: while a .50 round can easily be sent 7+ km, as far as I know the greatest distance for a confirmed sniping kill is just over 2 km (and was done by a Canadian, as it happened). > Oddly, the number of crimes > perpetrated with .50BMG rifles, in the entire history of the US, is less > than the number of people beaten to death with fists and sticks in the > UK in one month. Yes, but a .50 rifle can also be used to beat people to death. [1] Hmmmm. Given the other thread about prison populations, doesn't that restrict the target purchasing audiencce? ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work out what you want to say before you decide how you want to say it. - Christopher Strachey's First Law of Logical Design http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
