First off, the ballistics don't match up with the forensic evidence from the Gunpowder Residue found in various other parts of the room.

Secondly, the DNA strands show degeneration that can only be caused by exposure to X-Ray Radiation in excess of fifteen X-Rays a year for the person's entire life.  Alternatively, it could be an example of "Flash-Clone" technology that has been considered obsolete due to rejection of the original host's body when used for organ transplant.  This required extensive additional testing that wasn't available at the time of the official report, but was later discovered.

Thirdly, there were no breaks or signs of excessive high-powered firearms use in the wrists of the corpse, which is not consistent with the CEO's known shooting habits, or medical history.

PM me for the raw data feed.  ;D

Tragic soy processer accident? Shouldn't have sprung for the third hand Korean knock off. Torn to shreds.

I've often been asked by people if I'm serious or joking about what I know, how I know it, and the particulars.

My only answer has ever been:  "Yes."

This scares some people.  In others, it causes outright horror as they realize that I might actually be both at the same time.  That said, they're still choosing to hide behind me when the apocalypse happens.

Although, in this case, it was a matter of hyperactivity, boredom, overactive imagination, and the rudder of my mind ripping loose.

...aaaand cue radom "The Who" song for theme, and GO!

Gun Haven was pretty good, although I wonder why they used a (correct me if I'm wrong) Walther and called it a SIG and then used a SIG and called it an Enfield???

 :o Just wondering.

Wouldn't surprise me.  The amount I had to train a few artists on firearms was quite amazing.

'Course, I was dealing with Urbanite Canucks.  Might have been easier with some Rural Artists...

EDIT:  Going to have to see if I can find that Sten-II Video again...  Great way to show a SMG in use.

Oh I can believe it. I still look at some SR guns and wonder exactly HOW they work. The Browning Ultra-power and Colt Manhunter for example: where exactly is the ejection ports for the shells? And where exactly IS the magazine (don't get me started on calling them 'clips') on the Colt L36? (OK, I'll forgive the L36 as it's a re-used design from somewhere else.)

And a lot of the rifles from Gun Haven looked really...uncomfortable to use from a shooter POV, not to mention seem a bit clumsy. *shrugs*. Nice stats though.

OK, Ill stop there. I feel a rant coming on.

Caseless firearms don't need ejection ports, do they?  'Course, how do you do a "Brass Check", or whatever they'd call it on a caseless weapon?

Which, of course, brings us back to the "They come in cased and caseless versions" and blah blah blah, and a complete lack of named calibers...  But that's getting gun nutty of me.

This is the place for it. As for checking for "brass", I would use a RL example. My Springfield XD has a a "nub" along the top of the slide, just behind the ejection port. When a round is chambered, it pops up. That way, all you have to do us run your finger over the top and know (great for low to zero light conditions) if a round is chambered. Also, there is a small nub on the back of the slide (where the hammer for most other guns are) that sticks out to let you know the weapon has been properly charged. Something similar can be used in SR weapons, even with "caseless" ammo.

Of course in SR, your Smartlink would let you know such things.  ;)

See, that's the difference between practical experience and book learning, folks.

*Sighs*  I can only get book learning...

Yeah, but its much safer because paper dosen't shoot back. Getting shot at (in RL) is NEVER fun.

I wouldn't want to belong to the military that would accept me as a soldier.

Hell, if they make me an officer, I'd be trying to get the hell out of the country!  Possibly the continent.
