I would think this would make the Secret Service body guards of the President, and other high ranking officials very nervous.

It comes as big ears.

Just as I imagined. No doubt in various camo designs.

I remember a movie, starring Tom Selleck.

I think it was some kind of Sci-Fi and in this movie the bullit could be programmed with the victims-something and once fired the bullit will find it's target.

Someone must have seen the "smart gun" used by the Space Marines and Aliens and wanted one.

Didn't Judge Dredd (Stallone) have something similar in his movie?

His weapon was "fitted" to only one person- No other could use Dredds gun.
(this has also been used in some James Bond movies).

A self-steering bullet? Wasn't that the "single bullet" that did in JFK?...

Nothing feels warmer in your hands than the standard issue Lawgiver.

Standard kinetic, Armor-piercing, high explosive, incendiary, Richochet-rounds, and heat seeking.

What a fine weapon, I cannot wait until I see one of those at the gun show.:woot:

I want to hit a deer with a high explosive round. Less knife work for me, while carving up my steaks, and stinking myself up.
Late night visit by a bear is not good...
(and people think NJ is all suburbs, and stinky chemical plants:))

We have a fine park called Stokes forest. It is in the NW parts in the mountains, yes we got the Appalachian mountains here too.

And yes, as a citizen of the Jersey shore there is alot of over the top orange Ginzos.

While being of Italian descent myself, I find what you guys see on TV and percieve as NJ based Italians disgusting. Most of the scum you see on "the jersey Shore" are from NY, and Snooki is not really italian, she is Chilean.

So never believe what you see on TV, ever again.

(Especially if you saw it on MTV)
