It'd been more fun if it had bullets in it.

Funny aside during my little visit though . . . I asked if they sported 50 or 60 cals on the turret hatches . . . this old fart got blank looks from the "children" untill a Staff Sgt came over and said he had SEEN a 60 cal in Korea but that it was used by the ROC ARMY. Needless to say I feel old and out of touch this afternoon !

I was going to say... we haven't used 60 cals in a very long time. I'm curious about the beehive rounds though... shotguns and ammunition that has multiple projectiles like that are against the geneva conventions...

Actually NO (conventional) weapon is against the Geneva Convention if it is used against "equipment". Now, that said, define "equipment" . . . a tank ? APC ? If someone is shooting at and trying to kill me and I'm stuck with only a 50 cal (or a 155mm ) "pistol belt" = "equipment".

But I'm slidding "OT".
