If bullet was jammed into the lands perhaps this would work.

It may not have fired each and every time, I don't know...and I don't plan to find out. It wasn't maximum ugly but it was ugly enough. Don't be the darkness. America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
