They don't have a clue, but the footage they shot was very convincing. I would have NEVER expected the result as seen on camera. As for AP, I have no idea. When it comes to ballistics, I go with this book: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Firearm-Ballistics-Robert-Rinker/dp/0964559846 It's not very scientific, but I shoot the crap out of stuff in my back yard too. I live in rural Wyoming, I have tons of back yard. -- Ryan Fisk _______________________________________________ Gzg-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vermouth.csua.berkeley.edu:1337/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gzg-l --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ground Zero Games" group.
