I'll keep an eye out for that -- I haven't seen the revised ed. Yah, you might need something bigger than a bb gun, but a bb gun is "relatively" safe (oddly enough, we don't get *nearly* as many "don't do that, it's dangerous" flame wars on the pinhole list as we do over on the alt-processes list :^). My family had a .22 rifle when I was a kid, but I haven't had a firearm in the house since...
So, note to anyone: use this idea at your own risk! If you get hurt trying this idea, it's your own responsibility! I think I'll ask around and see if someone I know has a bb gun I could use to try this out with... -- pw --- "D.
