LOL...probably true, but it wasn't my weapon. I was just shooting it to see if the problem was the gun, or my friends technique.
My preference is a Colt Commander, with which I can easily do what you describe.
I noticed some freepers expressed concern that the boy will feel guilt for taking a human life. I doubt it, he was protecting his mother. Could any one really feel guilty in these circumstances? I am pretty devoted to my mother, and would lose no sleep over any of my actions done in her defense.
