Not to brag or anything.. or actually it is.. ;)

When I met a childhood friend again some years ago, he reminded me of a fantastic shot I made at the age of six/seven. With a quite simular type of pistol, I somehow managed to shoot a pea up his nose. Perhaps with a nice bounce from the upper lip. According to him, he was afraid that it would stay there forever, but eventually it got out the same way.
Moral of the story; make sure to use potatos or large peas:)

Tac,

Now see, that's where GB is still less advanced than California where recently passed progressive anti-carnivore frightening legislation now prohibits threatening or warning in any way. In fact, the law now requires that any person discovering him/herself to be in the presence of any dangerous animal must immediately lay down, sprinkle barbecue sauce over him/herself and top it with a sprig of parsley.
They are however permitted to scribble a brief note of farewell prior to adding the parsley.
Though somewhat contrary to instinct, this response is preferable to the alternative; defending yourself in any way or frightening said carnivore leads to a mandatory life sentence without possibility of parole.

:bigbye: Most Honorable Tac,
Please be advised that your family lawyer will be contacted by a covey of TEXAS lawyers, as it is internationally recognised that the term "LONE STAR" is a proprietary term owned solely by the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS, and can only be used with the permission of THE STATE, accompanied by outrageous permit fees payable in GENUINE CONFEDERATE MONEY!!:evilgrin:

In the spirit of goofy, marginal weapons here's some home made Chechen weapons confiscated by the Russians.
There's some really creative items there.
