artbrooks, you make some good points. I find the M-79 a bit bulky for shopping, especially if you want to brandish your weapon while looking for a parking space. The UZI is small in appearance, which is why I like to fire a quick demonstration salvo into the Gap before entering, just to soften up the room.

And sure, grapeshot or canister can be devastating in the confines of an intimate family gathering, but sometimes tends to do excessive damage to the decorations.
