   And just like everything else built cheap by man, it will
malfunction and start shooting anything that moves. You
included if you happen to be there. A spattering of burn
marks on the walls   :o 
   If they can do this with parts off Ebay, then how come
da gov can t seem to do it with the best equipment in the
world. And costs a hell of a lot more.
