Of course, if you're shooting at a lock, you're unlikely to be doing it at 15'. And you might well not shoot the lock, but rather the thing it's locking. Lots of hasps aren't made of hardened steel. And of course, doors tend not to be either. -- David Scheidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
