I wanna be the poor bastard explaining to that gin soaked rummy a simple thing:
"This is an M240b. It fires a 7.62mm NATO round, full metal jacket. Look around you. Contrary to your movies and fantasies, this will penetrate car bodies, glass, walls, and shoot through two or three people with one bullet. The damage is catastrophic but not always instantly lethal. This round, when fired, may travel up to a mile if it misses any targets. This is a LIGHT machinegun."
"This is the M2A2 general purpose heavy machinegun. It is a 50 caliber, that's half-inch diameter, round. Commonly steel jacketed, the standard round aside from ball is armor piercing incendiary. Look around you. There is NOTHING that will stop this round. It will go the long way through a school bus. If fired at a crowd it will exit the far side of the crowd, leaving a trail of severely damaged bodies, and blow a crater in the wall. People hit by the DISSOLVE into pink fucking mist."
"Now, where would you like to put these so that a single trigger pull does not kill a dozen bystanders. Most of all, where will you put this, WHILE LOADED, where you think a determined crowd cannot take possession of it after someone throws a molotov cocktail on the operators?"
Could you imagine her trying to understand that they're BULLETS not fucking paintballs.
