Oh for the love of God give me a break... its time we kill all he lawyers. (Say for those who play SE IV and games from shrapnel games)

that third one sounds unbelevable, you can't tell me that you can be an expert marksman with a handgun by only playing computer games. it's stupid, if you think that, then you've never ever fired a real gun in your life.

I 100% agree. Some kid who's never fired a gun in their life, will not be able to do that. The recoil alone has to be experienced several times before it can adequately be compensated for, especially for a large caliber hand-gun. A smaller caliber handgun, such as a .22 (about the smallest caliber hand-gun that's made) would have much less recoil, but still would be plenty to throw off the aim of someone who's never fired a gun before.

Yeah. For a little perspective, one of my biology classes involved firing a bolt-action .22 tranq gun and a net gun powered by a .303 or so.

Now, we had several game players there. Most of them MISSED with the net gun, despite the fact that the thing spreads the net over five feet or so! Even with the .22, at less than 10 yards, the best most could do was hitting the target. Forget about bulls-eyes or any sort of precision.

Good old 303 Lee Enfields. Gotta love those British rifles.

I can remember being shot and killed while playing HL2 on line. I remember shooting the SOB in the head with my SR but he didn't die.... instead he shot me from the other side of the map with a pistol and bang, I was out of the game.

I would like to see him try that in RL. I guarantee you it wouldn't go down like it did in the game.

Phoenix-D - sounds like your school lessons were more exciting than the crap I had to put up with. Mind you in pottery, I majored in 500 and poker.

Some parents never want to believe that 'their precious little angels' could ever do anything bad.

I had a principle like that in elementary.

She wasn't a bad person at all, but because of her...

...Let's just say I still hate her and that school.
