Just to clear a point, I was raised with guns and have no particular  
problem with the items themselves as long as they are handled  
responsibly. Some of my neighbours own Kalashnikov's....they rent  
them out by the bullet to fire at weddings as the bride arrives. They  
don't, however, point them at people and objects.  The noise drives  
the dogs nuts, but that's what you get with Bedouin neighbours, and  
it's only during wedding season.  I simply don't see cluttering up my  
life with something that has no use to me, especially when I already  
have a pack of twelve dogs (admittedly most of them RT's, but quite  
fierce) taking care of my house at night.

You must not have kids, Dabney. A Super Soaker is an oversized water  
gun that can shoot a stream of water over 10+ feet.  My college  
student daughter bought one a couple of summers ago and tried it out  
on her mom from the roof. Guess why it doesn't work anymore.......
