OK, since the Segway responds to shifts of balance with movement, we can envision: 1) soldier on Segway standing upright to take aim (this might be a bit unnerving if someone is shooting at the soldier, but I suppose it would be OK for shooting civilians), 2) soldier firing, gun recoil rocks soldier back slightly, 3) soldier rapidly (if unintentionally) retreating as Segway tries to regain balance ... (I seem to recall cartoons following this kind of pattern ...) ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure. - Mark Twain 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.
