    Strongly disapproved of.
    So it's a design flaw then... itchy chin.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      The .50 cal has a Raufoss round available which contains armor-piercing (tungsten core), explosive, and an incendiary component

      It would be an interesting hole if one of those hit you and detonated
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        Mate you're talking to Mr "Boom Head-shot!!" here, I've seen the damage a .50 cal can do from 400 yards at night on a moving ship... I have to play with the sound down low so I don't wake the baby though.
