I’m an anti-personnel mine – indiscriminate and painful.
You might be a member of the AI if you gave up surfing p0rn to spend more time commenting on TTAG.

I’m like a one-armed gunslinger.
How do you reload?
Call me crazy but I would rather have the turtle shell. This is just basic physics – Mass times speed equals force. Take your basic 230 grain .45ACP bullet traveling at a speed of 850 feet per second. It will have an impact pressure of “Oh My Fracking G-d this hurts! Someone take me to the hospital. I think i’ve ruptrued something inside me. I am so glad this vest stopped the bullet but my belly button just touched my spine. No puncture wound but three ribs are broken.”

Hence the 4 rules and safe handling and inspection practices.
