I know nothing about firearms... but nice put down!

Plus for a design company, you'd think they'd have better proofreaders
than to allow:
"The THOR combines a high RPM with high capacity, demanding and
effective cooling system for the barrel..."

Actually, it's not true that I know *nothing* about firearms.  I used
to be able to strip and clean a .303 Lee Enfield back in cadet days at
school.  Amongst other things.

Little known fact: I was actually classified as a 'marksman' for a
year.  I never wore the badge however as all concerned were pretty
certain it was a clerical mix up.  The guy next to me at the range,
who was a good shot, got 'unclassified'.  And you have to know that at
that time I was very small for my age and struggled with the kick of
the weapon - not to mention hadn't yet been prescribed glasses!

I'm sure there's an ObTrav in there, but I *promised* myself I
wouldn't fritter away a day off but do some bibliography work...
Plus, shiny new Freelance T to read!
