#1 "A Smith & Wesson saturday night special..." Journos are so pathetically uninformed when it comes to guns. When I was a reporter, I tried for days to make the "top crime reporter" of the paper where I worked understand the difference between a .38 special and a .380 ACP. Poor bastard couldn't get that one was for a revolver and one was for a semi-auto. "Aren't they both guns?"

Poorest quality thing S&W ever put out was no "saturday night special..."

#2 "It fires bodkin-tipped 425 grain bolts at 405ft per second and will cost a little under £1,000.

Strangely enough, it's legal and fits neatly beneath the bed."

Whatever works.

Just be sure to wipe your fingerprints off the bolt before firing. ;-p
