This is not exactly an uncommon occurrence where I live, for shotguns, anyway. Children are fairly useless until they can wield shotguns, or at least man turrets, anyway.

I do not know of this Car Wars of which you speak. Is it anything like Star Wars?

Apparently Steve Jackson Games is still publishing some new Version of the classic Car Wars. But they've streamlined it and made it purely tactical.

Oh the joys of perusing Uncle Al's weapon catalog, shopping for roof mounted turrets and rocket pods. Those were the days.

The classic C64 Autoduel was sweet too.

EDIT: Sorry for taking this even further OT, but the topic has been played out mefinks.

Really? Im go have to look into that. I really miss Car Wars. I even daydreamed of decking out my car with a turret, cannon, some side-mount machine guns (all props of course). Of course that was a long time ago. Nowadays they better be real or dont bother putting them on at all.

not to forget italy , finland , bulgaria ... .
but the most important point is that 1. none of these did as evil war crimes as germany and
2. none of these nations had decent enough techs to be a real threat .

You haven't studied your 20th century history if you think that Japan didn't commit war crimes just as evil as Germany's. The fact that it was mostly against the Chinese, Koreans, Russians and Philipines simply means that it didn't get the publicity Germany's did in the Western world.

Also I find it odd that you put Finland in the same Category as Germany, Italy, and Japan - heck, France did more to help Germany than Finland did.
