Well, that's just because I believe in longer range firepower. However, a good .22 caliber revolver loaded with .22 shorts has its place too. So much firepower, so few authorized targets.

A .22 is what I usually carry.

OHHHHHH the dice. I think that is what made Star Wars and Champions so cool. But I hated them punks that took 2 minutes to add up 10 dice.

Reminds me of a game Al Gendron was running back in the middle 80's....to make a long story short the guy were chasing grabbed a guy as a hostage and then was heading for an escape because everyone in our team refused to take the shot in fear of killing the hostage.
So I shot the hostage.
Now that tactic has turned into the "standard" in most groups--I've even seen it in a handful of movies.

That is why me and my partner wear level 3 vests, we have this running agreement to put/take 2 in center of mass and play dead. while the crook is shock frozen we get a jutified shooting to the forehead with the partner out of the way. Simple savings on court and prison costs, anyone stupid enough to play those kinds of games needs to be extincted.

So? I know gamers who use a calculator when
they need to add up the result of more than
three dice at a time.

The school system failed to show thenm the "group of 10" trick due to the use of calculators when solving multiple addition.
I had a math teacher in High School that showed "magic" methods of solving problems and to help check the work. He was the best math teacher I had, promoting a much better understanding of how it worked.

yeah, point taken. Mossad uses .22's, and nobody wants to screw with them. Actually, my fav has to be the new 5.7 mm. Fabrique National adopted it as it's new standard round, and they use them in the P90 SMG and the Five-seveN (lol, love your marketing). Compact and high powered (the bullets tear though level 2 kevlar with no problem, and mess up titanium inserts pretty good so I hear) And, considering the mags for the SMG and the pistol have 50 and 20 rounds respectively, nicking an insert won't be too much of a problem, theres always the next bullet.
