    But it will only last for a couple of seconds, and then there will be complete silence (if you ignore the sirens from rapidly approaching emergncy vehicles).

      You mean you don't have the firepower to shoot more than one person with one shot? ;) Just have to line them up correctly... However, I think you will find that once the first one is down, the rest will be too busy running for cover to do any more construction right away...

                Hmmm, I use JHP in my 1911's, so I'd have to use an AR-15 if I want a chance at two kills with one shot (a 5.56 NATO round will go through 1/4-inch steel plate at up to 30 yards, so soft-tissue shouldn't be a problem).

                    Why is it that the construction crew that has spent the last 3 weeks ripping up the road outside my house does all the jack-hammering and road splitting at 7am-8am, then all the leaning around on shovels and nodding sagely to each other from 8-11, then are no where to be seen by mid afternoon? I've been working late (well, early, really) to try and fit everything in but there's no sleeping past 7am while the kids outside play. Wow - the glasses in my cupboards have just setup a symphony... BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG.... :sigh:

                            My bugs are of a finer quality late at night. The early morning ones? A little rough, a little uncivilised. Code. I mean code, not bugs.

                                    Do you want me to have a word or two with them - in my own unqiue and non-confrontational way?

                                      Why is it that the construction crew that has spent the last 3 weeks ripping up the road outside my house does all the jack-hammering and road splitting at 7am-8am, then all the leaning around on shovels and nodding sagely to each other from 8-11, then are no where to be seen by mid afternoon? I've been working late (well, early, really) to try and fit everything in but there's no sleeping past 7am while the kids outside play. Wow - the glasses in my cupboards have just setup a symphony... BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG.... :sigh:

                                      The foreman is only there at 7 and 4.

                                        Hmmm, I use JHP in my 1911's, so I'd have to use an AR-15 if I want a chance at two kills with one shot (a 5.56 NATO round will go through 1/4-inch steel plate at up to 30 yards, so soft-tissue shouldn't be a problem).

                                        Overpenetration is a problem. Even with a good backstop to make it safe it's energy that's not causing damage to the target.

                                          Just pretend they're trolls and ignore them. :)
