#1 the projectiles, which were between 15 and 30 centimeters long

#2 Let's hope that the final product has the same quality differential that exists between most things Arab and Israeli. These guys are on the right track; start shooting back immediately and with greater effect and they'll start learning not to poke the hornet's nest. Or they won't, in which case they'll die.

BTW, you could make a real good start with throwing the enemy-aiding UN organizations out of your country immediately. Be kind; give them 24 hours.

#3 I used to read High Power Rocketry Magazine. They advertized for a hands-on course in solid rocket motor construction, really big motors, not for 30 cm rockets, more like 3 meter rockets. I wonder if the magazine and the course are still around, as I understand that since 9/11, the BATF wants to ban the hobby now. Does Israel have a BATF?

#6 I recall from EXODUS, that years ago they used a car spring to launch sploding sky mail. With a little practice, you can work out the weight and fuse length to produce some effective shelling.

#7 I recall from EXODUS
Man did you hate that 40 years thing? I thought I was the only one still around from that deal. I kept saying, it's just north of here damnit, let's just walk in a straight line for a change. But nooooooooooooooooo!
