Some computer hardware humor to lighten up!
07.02.07 at 20:07:00

Out of coverage and bad sectors... hmm... I know just the thing.. some Black Talon loving!

(Black Talon is a high performance self-defense handgun round, in this case .357 from a stainless S&W)

Glad to see with iron sights I can still hit what I'm aiming at.

So remember guys, if you have to go into a bad section of town just stuff you vest pockets with a few of these.

I love living in the middle of the woods.

whaa a hand gun, damn, the bullet did quite some damage but didn't succeed to penetrate fully, I wonder how a double barreled Riot shotgun would do to a HDD? Lips Sealed

heh I have a floppy drive to demollish tonight

It kinda had some smoke comming out of it's rear end, it died of a short cicuit Grin

, I wonder what would happen If I drop it out of my 21 feet high bedroom window on to the tiled floor below?

it's time for some Mythbusting ideas

I will post pics tomorrow of the results Grin

With shot less damage than this round which is VERY high velocity, but a typical sabot round from a sluggun would have more kenetic energy and blow a hole clean through.

US troops in the field carry shotguns with solid rounds for door breeching, nothing does a better job taking locks out.

Reply #5 - 07.02.07 at 20:21:12 Freaky would one of those slug guns even go through a HDD? since HDD"s are nearly like black boxes, small and tight. I bet one of these Ruger 10-22's should do a nice hit on a HDD you can use the scope to aim perfectly ion the middle, I know Sniping is fun at times Nice site Gary

would one of those slug guns even go through a HDD?

A .357 magnum has 1240 (fps) velocity and 539 ft/lbs of energy, compared to a 12 gauge sabot with 1530 fps velocity and a staggering 2274 ft/lbs of energy.

Yes, the average shotgun sabot would make short work of a harddrive.

10-22 doesn't have much energy, does have a lot of velocity though. .22 doesn't have much mass behind it.

Hmm... I don't know about this hares - are these the one in your signature? Grin

As for pigeons... I'll get you as many as you want - my cat can do the job 4 u - that's her hobby 8)

P.S. What's the biggest fish you ever caught (this is the question to see how good a fisherman you really are Wink

)

I had had no time to hunt in this season because of my studies that's why so few animals got killed Sad

suprisingly I haven't got a lot big fish but my biggest fish is 5kg pike.

...but usually I got more than 30 perch at one fishing trip Wink
