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! tc
