I would imagine so. Definitely not something you’d want to get hit with.

Of course, with all my ‘Seinfeld’ posts and my tinfoil conspiracies, I’m already somewhat silly. :)

I’m working on a silly walk. With government funding, I think I could really develop it!

Have they fired him yet, so they don’t have to pay him or his family anything?

"Well, it was reported that he was hit with a flash-ball round, and you can hardly aim those launchers very well."

I had to do a search to see what the thing was. It looks like a gas gun, and the video I saw, showed the guy loading the double barrel with what looked like a very large cartridge...not much smaller than a gas grenade. When we had to qualify at the range each year, we had to shoot the department's gas gun, and we were always told to aim low, because gas rises. The video I watched showed the guy shooting it directly at the torso of first, a target, then at two humans. The language is foreign. I'm assuming .FI is Finland? Here's the link to the YouTube video if anyone is interested:

Here is a list, plus pics/vids of injuries suffered by. The gilets jaunes. Over 16 deaths. Media is not reporting much of this.

Looks like you would have made a good loyalist during the American Revolution.

Here's a chart that compares the kinetic energy in various speeding bullets to the energy in various human-launched balls. The flash ball has the kinetic energy of a .380 round -- more than a (much larger) baseball traveling 120 mph.

Nice hit and run.

You going to defend your remark or not?

Bring out the stocks and line the streets with them, tar and feathers, rotten eggs, feces, whatever is needed to give the Elites the message that they will not rule as self-serving, self-enriching, self-proclaimed dictators in France and anywhere else around the world.

Whatever happens to Macron and his toadies after this is their own damned fault.

No, I’d imagine you wouldn’t feel sorry. Sounds like you’re better at submission.

Wow. I must admit I have never fired a 12-gauge (though I have a brand new one in my gun cabinet). I’ve always been a pistol guy / AR guy.

You pros out there, does the load make a difference?

I was only able to get mostly 3 inch 7.5 and 8 for my gun. Hope to get some 4 or better one of these days. Might have a few boxes of 2.5. TIA
