- Wow! You're right! I wonder why the US army doesn't have a crack 2 x 4
- commando squad! You could make a million selling baseball bats to re-arm
- the front line troops.

- OK, so basically any solid object on the planet that you can pick up, can be
- used in an offensive manner. The point is though, somethings are just a tad
- more effective than others.
-
- As a simple experiment, walk into a crowded shopping mall, weilding a 2x4,
- see how many people you can maim or kill in 30 seconds.
- Now repeat the experiment with a semi-automatic rifle.
- (lets use a domestic brand, and help the balance of trade figures, who
- wants our money going over-seas? ;-)
-
- Torban Bennett - adding to the thread that will NOT die. I'm taking bets

- this thread is now a hybrid of the two.
