    The net launcher has definite possibilitys in the wrangling of the nieces and nephews  :D
    IllinoisThere’s a story about a turtle and a scorpion. Scorpion is stranded on a river bank. Turtle sees this and asks Scorpion to get on his back and he’ll take him across the river. Scorpion gets on Turtle’s back and they go into the river. When they’re about halfway across, Scorpion stings Turtle. As Turtle is sinking, knowing they’re both going to die, he asks Scorpion "Why did you sting me, we’re both going to die?" and Scorpion says "It’s not my fault; it’s what I am."

    We included one of these in a 3-gun match a few months ago, as a prop gun, off the clock. Pretty fun nailing a steel silhouette with a diet Pepsi.

    I was playing with one of these the other day.  I wonder how it would do with tennis balls.

    Interesting, but it doesn't have me yet.

    I was hoping for something undermounted. Also something for the AK enthusiasts would be nice  >:D. I could completely see myself buying an undermounted harpoon launcher for my AK. Because. Reasons.

    Do we forget that cops were primarily still using 6 Shot Revolvers well through the mid 80's? It wasn't until after 1986 that most departments then relented and went to autos.
    Capacity wasn't really an issue then... and honestly really it's not even an issue now.
