This is better to be deployed in crew fashion meaning you better have somebody covering fire for you to take the time to program the round. This appeared a couple of years ago on a show that may or may not come on anymore “Future Weapons” which I haven’t seen in a while. Too wrapped up in other things I guess… I don’t like the fact they want to produce less than lethal ammo though, kind of defeats the purpose. I know some would believe this would be handy to capture intelligence by letting the bastards live. I say you
just don’t shoot the last one until you have your intel…. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">Brian</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";"> tpr-bounces@teampanteraracing.com [mailto:tpr-bounces@teampanteraracing.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>B Hower<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, December 12, 2010 8:28 PM<br><b>To:</b> Mad Dog Antenucci<br><b>Cc:</b> tpr@teampanteraracing.com<br><b>Subject:</b> [TPR] toys listed on gun
