It's not a rock, it's an improvised ballistic device.

Good morning.
"Never bring rocks to a gun fight."

I've always been fond of spud guns. A nice Russet can be stuffed with a variety of things to increase the damage, and I can hit pretty well at 100 yards. One of the best things about it is the cheap hairspray used as a propellant.

Apart from that, a 40 mm HE from an M-79 is the next best toy for responding to thrown rocks.

Is there a poll yet on how long it will take for things to get sufficiently lethal on the border for something to be done by the authorities?
