If you were to design a weapon

[Ti-Kwon-Leap]

Ahhh! (sound of ancient gong being struck)Your wisdom exceeds your years ckd.

 

Uh, how old are you anyway???

 

 

[ckdstudent]

Just over nineteen.

 

 

[Nightwing]

I'd have the coolest and most dangerous weapon of them all....the car from tv's "knight rider"

[Bitseach]

My ideal weapon would be one that phasered away the opponent's weapon without damaging anyone and at the same time gave them a smack on the backside. Then I would lean over them smugly and say, "Now! Play nice!"

 

 

 

[Ti-Kwon-Leap]

I would build a tantalus feild that would cause my enemies to "evaporate".

 

"Uh, no, I have no idea what happened to that guy who smugly cut in front of me in line."

 

 

[Don Gwinn]

Lightsaber, definitely. Phasers would be nice, too.

 

"You want my wallet? Ha! Phaser to stun! Zzzapp! Over here, officer!"

 

"You want what? No, I'm very happy with my long-distance. . . no, really . . . no, I . . . aw, screw it. Phaser to kill!"

 

Reasons you might need more than ten rounds for self defense:

 

You might be attacked by more than one person.

 

You might miss. Correction, you will PROBABLY miss.

 

Your first rounds might hit with no effect.

 

A friend of mine recently posted to thefiringline.com about something that happened to him last week. He normally carries a 9mm with 11 rounds, but on that day left it behind (it bothers his wife.) He and she piled 5 kids into their SUV and headed for dinner. In a nice neighborhood, they somehow managed to insult or disrespect 5 or 6 members of a gang in low Monte Carlo. The rambunctious lads pulled through two lawns to get around and in front of them, blocking their route, and then jumped out of the car. Numerous vile and threatening things were shouted at our hero, who was sitting in a blocked SUV with his wife and children and facing five pissed-off gangstas. This is not good.

 

He did what he could to grovel and assure them that he had nothing but respect for thug life while frantically trying to get his wife to back out. She was frozen. One of the gangstas reached into the MC's backseat, which resolved my friend to put the truck in reverse himself and scream at his wife to hit the gas. After a few more moments of shock, she did and they got out. They were not pursued.

 

Had those gangstas opened fire, he'd have been screwed. He'd have been only slightly less screwed with his normal carry pistol; ten rounds is two apiece with only one miss, and odds are that's not nearly enough.

 

Even with more rounds he'd have been in deep Kim Chee. You do NOT want to be in a firefight against superior numbers with your wife and child in the car!

 

But it would have been a fighting chance, had the groveling and escape route not worked out for him. Luckily, they did. He now carries all the time w/ 2 hicaps for a total of 31 rounds.
