That is correct, and the billiard ball was exactly the analogy I was drawing. A one ton car traveling at 35 MPH has enough moment to roll a three-ton boulder roughly 10 MPH. The curb I described has at least half of it subterranean. The city helped him build it. They also added some nasty speed bumps leading to the intersection. I always assumed the homeowner's brother was the Mayor.

Might have been. My friend moved after the city refused to just put a stop sign on the opposing corner.

Must be the CA way.

Here in Texas, nothing screams REDNECK more than a family buying $500 in fireworks with an EBT Card.

It's not fireworks until the first shot is fired.
Shotgun or pistol, Rifle is kind of...not necessary.
Unless you got a freakin' cannon...which some people do.

Did you notice the launch trajectory on that gun?
They were aiming miles away.
That was not 'close in support'.

Just imagine what a fine job that tool could do of clearing a street if lowered to level,and loaded with canister.

We used to occasionally call them in (assuming they are 175's) on NVA truck and/or troop convoys traveling down the Ho Chi Mihn Trail.
If the sound of those things coming in doesn't scare the squat out of you,you are fearless.

True story, on my exit interview, some psychiatrist asked me, 'How many people did you kill?'
I don't know that? How could I? The same as these guys. Ask one of them, 'How many kills?'
Ask a pilot how many kills? I don't freakin' know? That question kind of pissed me off.
That was not the point.

As usual,it was a shrink trying to use you by insisting YOU have mental problems in order justify and understand his own insecurities.

They were scary as hell too,but a lot of times didn't have enough range to reach us. Or at least that is what I was told. I really don't know squat about the big guns other than what I was told.

@Smokin Joe

LOL! You are probably right.

Concussion?

At any rate,you would only have to do it once to clear a street. After that,all it would take would be a rumor they were going to show up,and rioters/rebels would be beating feet to get back to mama's place so they could hide under her bed.

I dunno, his finger is not in the trigger guard, so he got some good habits somewhere. Maybe that was free, but I'd bet he might have spent just a little bit on training, even if just a bunch of CDs.

Not sure if this is Cuomo-compliant, but I guess this counts as a face covering and a statement of protest to boot.
