About 10 years ago, I had the chance to witness a demonstration put on by the Canadian Navy on the Capitol lawn in Ottowa. It’s fun to watch.
The guys had a sense of humor too. After reassembling the gun they kept tracking their target. In this case the crusty old Leftenant who was also narrating the event.

Thanks for the Oh-you-lads-are-a-worry ping, Chode!
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
