mel Not to put too fine a point on it, but: 1) the Somali's didn't seem to be too awfully daunted by "professional soldiers" 2) a lot of Sprtsmen would be current or former military and if the cause was right, well we've split the American army in two before. 3) given the same competence, I'd rather be shot at by an M16 than a full load 30.06 4) $30 worth of nesting pipe, $4 worth of powder, a shotgun shell, and a mild 4-foot long, one inch diameter mild steel rod will, properly configured, punch end-to-end through an Abrams Tank. (It's similar to a WWI weapon the Brits used that still overcomes any of today's armor--even ablative) 5) It might make a fun fiction novel or movie thanks--mel Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
