#1 Good read on wall penetration, much better information than at the water cooler.

I would have thought using bug spray to intentionally harm a person would be considered using a weapon. I prefer my official Quite-Gone Gin Light Saber and flat one-liners. If that doesn't work, its Safety Dance time brother.

#2 Over at Sipsey Street Irregulars, my remark about snipers got this response from an anonymous Afghan combat vet:

Badanov,

I once found myself taking "sniper fire" from a guy who thought allah would guide the bullets from his busted up Druganov. He met the appropriate end. I assure you it takes more than what you mentioned above. It is a good start, but having the right tools and the correct application of learned skills, will get you a whole lot farther.

Owning a peasant army rifle is a start, but just a start.

#3 Least penetration? It's the .223 64 grain power point. Would not have thought that.

The only thing an individual bent on firing one dedicated kill shot at an enemy needs, be the shooter a soldier, a police thug or a pissed off civilian, is a steady hand, a good eye, and a hard heart. The tool used is immaterial.
Good quote. Except, it is good to not be too pissed off as it might spoil your judgment and aim. Most "defensive" shooting is going to take place at relatively short distances such as occurred in Ferguson, MO. Sniper shooting a different story.
