I've always liked those CZ Model 52 pistols and Model 32 subguns in .30Mauser. Loaded hot with a teflon coated bullet they should punch thru armor well. Whoops, that should be Model 23, not model 32. The 23 - 26 series from whence the Uzi got it's basic design, IIRC. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com Hoka hey!

You don't want to meet the adversary armed with them. They are deadly and should be banned. (Bumazhka is a Russian word for form or paper. The way I use it should invoke the associations to Soviet-style bureaucracy, requiring a stamped permission for just about everything.)
