nbfiresprite Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 You obviously didn't watch the goal keeper video.... Did not need to, I seen one has been test fired in person. At 70 rounds/second (700 rounds for a 10 second burst), you soon be broke paying for the tungsten rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Chavs, the much cheaper Lead shot is perfectly acceptable. Widely available in 12 bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul's Nulife4-2 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Can you still get Salt shot, or grit shot ?. Or did I just dream that up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam the wanderer Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Had by far the most unpleasant experience of my boating career last night. We spent yesterday boating from south of Barlaston on the T&M through Stoke and onto the Caldon. Around bridge 14 we seemed to have moved out into the country, it was getting late, and starting to rain hard, so we found a deep bank and moored up, just past the railway bridge. Big Mistake. We subsequently found out the that largest council estate in the country is just across the valley: described as "Feral" by a Staffordshire PC. As it got dark, the attacks started: jumping in the back deck, followed by pulling the pins and throwing them in the canal, serious verbals. Feeling very insecure we phoned 999. It took a lot of effort to get the police control room to understand where we were. They don't do canals well. Then we started to be stoned: serious stoning with ballast from the railway line. No sign of the promised police. When the windows started to come in, it became obvious that we had to get the hell out, and fast. Not easy on a narrowboat. In the dark. I started the engine and got on the back in a hail of stones and set off. The inevitable happened and I took a rock in the face. It hurt, but I had the presence of mind to ham up how much and bellowed like stuck bull. That seemed to work and they ran off. Either that or they couldn't be bothered to transport ammo from the railway as we got further away. In retrospect I should have pretended to be half killed _before_ I was hit, but you only think of these things later. We made it in the dark to the offside pub moorings at The Foxley, where the police eventually found us. We got a few flash photos, but they're not good, and don't really ID the hoody-wearing scrotes. Damage to me is bust glasses, bloody nose, contusions and a black eye. Damage to the boat is lost pins, broken windows and serious paint damage. Add two lost nights sleep - we didn't rest well last night - and a certain amount of peace-of-mind. The lesson for boaters on the Caldon is not to stop anywhere before you get to Engine Lock. I'll be contacting CRT and suggesting that they make this advice available at Etruria. I shall be starting The Campaign to Nuke Stoke-on-Trent. If anyone is around later in the week and fancies riding shotgun when we have to head back that way, it would be much appreciated. Cheers, MP. That is absolutely disgusting i am sorry you had to go through that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlad Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Can you still get Salt shot, or grit shot ? Yes but I seriously doubt you will obtain them legally in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
