For shame, they're worth it, very very silly, but worth it.

My mate read them voraciously but I was too into Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I've never read any Stainless Steel Rat books.

Not after a head shot from a Desert Eagle they don't.

That would work from the back too. Well, the bullet would be in the hoodie, which'd be in 'is 'ead, and the inside of the hoodie would would now be the outside, probably proturuding from his face, in fact, it'd probably look like his nose had been replaced with the peak of his hat.

Indeed, LB, indeed, it just piqued my curiosity since I'd never heard of a 9mm Magnum.

50AE is adequate, but I'm waiting for the .75 recoilless... worked for Slippery Jim deGriz...

Do you know, I've never read any Stainless Steel Rat books. Shocking really. I suspect I'm a bit old for it now though. I enjoyed Deathworld when I was a young fellow though.

Is it known if hoodie wearers have much in the way of brains?

Indeed.

There are 357 Magnum, 41 Magnum, 44 Magnum, 44 AutoMag (if you can still find them), but I've never heard of a 9mm Magnum.

HTH.

Desert Eagle, mate. Don't mess around with these small caliber pea shooters.

I wonder if I spent long enough lorry driving I could become a Phd of it. So I could be a Dr. of HGVs

Why?

Thank you for that medical analysis, Dr Sockpuppet.

Anyone who think the hoody is going to help them is deluded.

Yes it'll stop the bullet penetrating you (too far) but you'll still end up with broken ribs.

So what's this "9mm Magnum" then?

It's a gun, of which there are a few varieties. '9mm' refers to the bore, but more common is .357 and .44, 'magnum' refers to the use of an oversized cartridge.

Originally it's an English invention BTW.

HTH.

So it just means that you get shot in the face rather than in the back of the head.

Reminds me of the "lightening proof" golf umbrella the nice salesman convinced me to purchase. Not sure I want to test it though.
