"We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts
by pirates or we will refund half your money back, including gun
rental charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included)"


Well, that counts me out.....


Hell, you'd probably load your own mini-gun ammo anyway.

True, but when firing it takes the proverbial "s**t load a second"


That can be mighty expensive...


What? *Pawn shops out your way don't sell ammo?


Oh they sell a lot of it, but I'd have to make my own 308's to run a
GAU/B2a (M/134) for just a burst takes aprt of the nat'l debt, not
counting linking all that crap together...


Unfortunately with all thait firepower, this guy can't hit the side of
a barn. look at about 3500 rounds going for that white square target.
No cool down either.

Then at 4:13 and 5:13 the idiot points it in the air. I don't care if
they are out in some desert. three miles away can be too close.

this is proof positive that some people have way more money than
sense.

These morons are proof

Yeah, sure. To quote

" If an attempted hijacking does not occur, we will turn the boat
around and cruise by at 4 knots. We will repeat this for up to 8 days
making three passes a day along the entire length of Somalia."

You can do the math, the speed required is about 125 kts, since the
coast is a thousand miles long. At four, you can cover 32 miles of
coast. Of course you pick a different 32miles each trip. I wonder how
long it would take for the entire piracy industry to wise up. Maybe
lease a different ship for each trip.


~~ sigh ~~

There's one in every crowd. :)


Yeah, something must be wrong, the math doesn't work out. ;)

..and if that works out, maybe you can organize a Moto Guzzler tour of the
Mexico border area.
What do you think... a 2 bag limit on the illegals?

Well, I really don't wish any harm to anybody but,.er...eh...

Don't tempt me, Don.


What are you considering? Maybe I'll tempt you, especially if it
entails a trip to Canada!

It would not be any fun, it is like shooting monkey's in a barrel, way
to easy.

Too easy, how about the Canadian border.


I wouldn't advise that at all.

As to cost. Might be like the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". $250k ammo
budget.

I've been promised a chance to shoot one of those next time I'm out in
the Yuma area - gyro stabilized.

Could be fun. :)
