Another thing that boggles the mind - Why has hollywood instilled in the average mind that a gun is a massive killing weapon? Most people today don't even realize that you are more unlikely to die if shot than to actually die!

Crap, even real hit men shoot you 3 times at perfect placement (One in the brain and two in the heart, or one in the heart and two in the brain) and point blank range to make sure, and lots of times not even this works! Annoying it is when things are portrayed in an unrealistic fashion. This is probably my draw to this website - they like realistic simulations.

-S

PS. This is just more evidence that lots of people live with a fantasy mentality of reality and can't tell the difference.

Bah, nitpicking I say!

I didn't mean breaking the sound barrier, I meant shockwave, but my brain briefly exploded at that moment. I'm complaining about the woman and her "chest pains" which were probably brought on by herself and an excuse to sue the gun-dropper.

Well, if she had pre-existing heart conditions ,and if she was to be startled I guese that it is possible for it to make her heart rate jump sky high, which could cause chest pain. For the very same reason you don't sneak up on people who have had pacemakers put in and scream "BOO!"

U-104... :rotfl: :rotfl: Brilliant, just brilliant.

I have a thought, and a question, do air rifle pellets break the sound barrier as well? :hmm:

That's cool, I was just wondering. Had a near miss with a pellet and heard the noise it made as it went past at speed, was a long time ago, but I recall it sounded a little like fabric being torn but quietly.
