You have to use so much Alliant Bullseye powder, just to work the slide with such a lw bullet, that the charge amount scares a lot of guys halfway to death :-) Hint, it's over 10 grs.

There was like this super awesome unbelievable crazy YouTube video about a guy that took a 12-gauge shotgun shell and poured out all of the lead shot... then put in an AA battery instead. I mean Wow... If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

If falls under the category of "Textual Criticism". If the fine are of comparing BS levels between texts and see how they line up. In this case it goes all the way to: You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

It's like some gun dude wanting to dress up in drag and run around as a transvestite... Why? It puts lotion on its skin or it gets the hose... If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
