HEY JOE: I'd be alot more scared of that GI pen than MarkS' Walthers P-thirtywhatchamacllit! Just kidding, - Larry
PS A friend who was in an active service unit in NI has a very funny story about a Walthers and the wee hex nut which holds the barrel on. One day he was running down the stares with some soldiers close behind him. He heard a ringing, the barrel of his gun following him down the stares. The wee hex had gone walkabout. So he and a few of the lads welded the barrel to the body of the weapon. First serrious firefight he was in, thereafter - the first shot, the barrel landed about three feet in front of him and the bullet not far beyond that, rolling away. So, maybe Uncle Jaque and everyone should carry around a Walthers sans hex, just for yucks when things get serrious. Nothing like a good laugh to end a fight eh?
