That thing would weigh more than she does!  LOL.  Alternatively, she could carry a stack of books with her...  hey that's a thought!  Custom-made books that have high-yield incendiary charges wired to proximity fuses.  Something tells me that bizkit would know where to procure such things.

Or, books with 4 curved pop-out knives - sort of Ninja or Kung-Fu movie style. OR, the entire book is a razor edged weapon like OddJob's hat in Goldfinger so she can decapitate with a flick of her wrist.

My favorite Kung-fu flick is "Master of the Flying Guillotine"

Or, a car with manual transmission.  biggrin.gif

LOL, I actually saw that in the theatres when I was a kid!  Personal fave is The 36th Chamber of Shaolin:

I'm going to do the price is right thing, and guess that the weapon is smaller than whatever billybob's weapon guess is. By $1. wink.gif

Congratulations on your Rolls mate. I hope you enjoy it.

 

I have seen similar ones for great prices in Oz but the maintenance puts me off. My analogy for not buying one is that you cant keep an elephant on a diet.

And you're right! She has two pistols; a Browning .25 "Baby Browning" and a vintage .22 Colt derringer. Her hands are really small and a lot of kick scares her, so that's what she's comfortable with. The Colt is more of a prop. It fires, but it's hard to hit anything with it. The Browning is pretty serious for such a small pistol. With a 6 round mag and higher grain loads, it can do some damage. Looks about the same as this one:



We both have CWPs, but she's more likely to carry than I am, because she puts hers in her purse. I'm not a gun nut but I do have a few, when I do carry one, it's usually my .357 P239 DAK.

You don't really think I'm going to let you trump me with a puny little .308, do you? .50 BMG for the win...

Ok, you win, but only because i cant find a ballistic test of a 20mm.... Lahti L-39 anyone?

 

On another note, i feel bad for the guy that has to clean the ballistic gel of the celling....

This is cool:

Grendel, as always, is terrifying.

And M855:

And in terms of stuff that you can go EDC:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WrokNC3Clc (recoil is supposed to be less than that of a 9mm (and you get more rounds); I'm fairly certain the SS-190 is on the ATF restricted list though - certainly a weapon I'd love to explore further).

Sure, .50 BMG is all big and mean, and Beowulf is huge too - but I'd rather put the target down than worry about how big of a light-show I can create.

Confirmed, the .357 SIG is serious business, but that little .25 is really cool. She can just keep it in her purse or put it in her pocket.

BTW, the blue McLaren F1 is up for sale. I say "the" because only one came from the factory in blue.

$4M + shipping, and totally worth it! smily_headphones1.gif
