I've yet to hear of a problem with a mis-fire and the long-range accuracy
of the Desert Eagle is right up there at the top. It's meant for that
specific application - big bore, long range pistol shots.

If the kick is too much for you go for the Cor-Bon rounds or perhaps the
.357.

Check your accredation, I didn't write that. Blipverts strike again. I
further more don't advocate such direct confrontation, poor tactics and
strategy. Never have, never will.

There are very few 500yd. line of sights in a city. Very few 100yd. LOS's
for that matter.

As to who will win, depends on how one plays the game.

Sounds like you've got 'High Noon' complex.

No, the answer isn't. Cyrptonomicon was a good, but flawed, first attempt
at a partial answer. Simply having crypto code on your hard drive and
using it on  your mail won't save your butt.

A completely technological answer to this problem is wishful dreaming at
best, self-dellusional at worst.
