That's the best argument yet. Still, I think Azimuth's got the right idea.

On the other two, just what the world needs, a 60 cal. hand gun.

Anyone know how big that kind of elephant gun is? I'm not nearly as gun savvy as most of you guys -- I remember firing a 12 gauge shotgun a few times as a teenager with my dad and some of his friends. Bruised the hell out of my poor li'l shoulder.

There was a scene in the movie "Witness" that was just wrong. Danny Glover came running around a corner because he heard Harrison Ford digging the dead guy's shotgun out of the few tons of corn he'd dumped on the guy, just in time for Ford to ventlilate his vital organs. Glover slowly slid down a wall, holding his shotgun feebly with one hand, pointing up, and firing one last round before he expired. The gun didn't even move. Yeah, right. They must have edited in the sound and the muzzle flash after the fact. Even a blank would have had more recoil than that, which was exactly zero.

That was one of my favorite flicks at one time CMAC. I never noticed the lack of recoil though. He should try shooting my Benelli M1 super90 with one hand........

That was a great flick. Do you remember the wooden toy with the steel balls that Ford's character gave the little Amish boy as a going away present?

I was so impressed with it, I watched it on video about 100 times while drawing plans. I made one for my nephew for Christmas over the next few days.

I've made 3 total and they've always been a big hit with young and old.

The hot springs resort I used to live at had a day care center. I made one of the toys in the wood shop and it ended up at the day care center after a few months in the restaurant (too noisy for diners). One lady said it was great for the kids cause she could use it as a motivational treat. "I'll let you play with the "TOY" later...."

That's another product I'm trying to mass produce (after the curve cutting bandsaw fence which is uhhh, sort of languishing at this point ... ), I'm thinking day care centers and pre-schools might be a market for it.

That's what I was thinking. Shooting a shotgun with one hand holding it, and not too snugly at that, could've snapped the wrist on his dying bod like a pencil.
