- No, I have never trained myself into ignoring tear gas. I have,
- however, done my time in the army, as every male Swede has. And let me
- tell you, buddy, that you lot must have some type of tear
- gas (I'm not a chemist so I cannot say what type was tested on us) if
- one simply can choose to ignore it.
-

- | personally observed same, human beings are incredibly tough
- | and difficult to kill. A small caliber bullet wound on an
- | annoyed individual is NOT a suitable defense.
-
- Yeah, what are you anyway? The Night Killer? Have got much experience in
- wounding humans with guns, have you?
-
- | If you have any friends or acquaintances in either the police or

- | how useless small arms and/or gas can be against a motivated and
- | annoyed attacker.

- start of story :-)
-
- Picture this: James is very annoyed because he got fired (no pun
- intended) from his work as an animal doctor yesterday.
- He once fought in Vietnam and thought
- that would make him not lose his job.
-
- He gets really annoyed so he goes
- home and fetches his pistol. He then goes rampage and shoots at
- everything. Remember he is an annoyed vet (pun intended).
-
- The police tries
- to tear gas him, but since he is _very_ annoyed, he chooses not to
- bother with it. The police then tries to shoot him, since they get
- rather annoyed with him too. But since James is both _very_ annoyed and
- _very_ motivated (god knows where he gets his motivation) he chooses to
- evade the bullets for some time, then gets bored, then does not bother,
- stands still and lets the bullets thump into his body. So what if he
- gets more fragmented than a disk running System 7? So what if his heart
- lies in the gutter twenty feet away? Since he has chosen to ignore the
- bullets, they won't hurt him!
-
- end of story :-)
-
-
- Really, I do not think it is possible to _learn_ to ignore tear gas.
- Some people may possibly have a better or worse defense against it, but,
- I doubt it can be avoided.
-
- As for guns and small calibres, of course, if you shoot somebody you had
- better point your weapon well if you are using a gun with small bullets
- (I am no gun phreak, so I do not know what is the notation of calibres
- in US measurements). When using a larger calibre, you can allow yourself
- to shake more when pointing.
