What are people buying?

Just got my 'helicopter money,' possibly just the first installment given the state of things here in the US. Now, what to spend it on besides hookers and an 8 Ball...

Antarctic Super Villain hideaway?

A seven shot revolver. Always fools the unwary victim.

Not these days when they just pull a 15 shot automatic.

Nobody counts the shots from an auto, pointless due to the variable magazines. But EVERYONE counts the shots from a revolver. Apparently.

[Shahbahraz]

is it just me, or is it normal to think if someone with evil intent has a firearm, you should get up close and personal, break enough soft bits and they will miss anyway?

After a morning's shooting my bodyguard told me:
Get up close so you can touch the guy with the muzzle
Then I shoot him
No, then you beat him to death with the butt, it's the only way you will ever kill anyone with a hand gun.

Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?

[FreddBloggs]

Yep, and unless its weilder is a suicidal psycopath, he only had 5 loaded anyway.

Did a self defence course once, instructors comment on guns was this. If you can get close enough to place the muzzle against them, use a knife.

[grizzlymc]

My experience is that if you can't get that close, use a sword. But I have seen them in the hands of a virtuoso and that is a very different matter.

Cavalry sabre. Basically a machete designed for human targets.

Do not underestimate the power of a well made machete. Not the butchers knives they have in Brazil, but the longer curved ones they use in the SW pacific. They can't cut off an arm, but a head is really easy.
