#7 A spunky lot, those SAS boys.

'Several other terrorists emerged from the building but immediately surrendered and began panicking as two of the bodies didn’t have heads – they thought they were about to be executed.'

I confess I laughed at that. Does that make me a bad person?

#12 If you can find a chunk big enough for the second tap, possibly

#13 00 or 000 buckshot? Rifle slugs?

#14 An M1014 firing a 2¾ inch 12 gauge shell filled with 9 hardened steel and antimony 00 buckshot bearings ? A double tap from that should be called a 'double whammy'.

#15 Get a feeling why WWI Germans (you know the guys who let loose the gas genie) wanted an international law against the thing. They got a up close and personal experience when the Yanks got into the trenches. American never signed on.

#16 If they took breaching rounds to the noggin it's no wonder they lost their heads.

In any case, good shooting!
