Well said John. Far to many people are scared of what they don’t know & understand. Guns are no more dangerous than the people handling them.

Makes sense to me. What’s the point of games when there’s no challenge? I would think that if one doesn’t follow the safety regulations, they’re not likley to be in the games. Aren’t they in a controlled environment? (Being up in years prevents me from participating.) -lol- (I hope I didn’t misinterpret the context of the piece.) I look forward to your articles.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

You don’t know even half the story. You ask if you’ve been shoot with a BB guns. Well, have you’ ve been shoot with laser beams.
I know the response from the audience that’s reads this newsletter will probably be negative. However, I am one of thousands of American citizens who are daily targeted with physical exposure to electromagnetic type directed energy. It’s not clear whether it’s some rogue private contractor with access to a variety of technologies; or a network of extremists hate groups or surveillance by some governmental agency; or some nutty MIT type folks experimenting.

We are not advancing a conspiracy theory. We are the unwitting, involuntary targets of surveillance so pervasive that we physically are receive directed energy attacks wherever we are: work, at church; at the store; in the car; in bed, and on and on.
So, when naive Americans beat up on others for expressing their concern about the various uses of this technology. I’m slightly annoyed. Because you have no idea of the “evil minds” of some perverse people.

Anyway, there are thousands of victims in the U.S. in every state; in Canada, Asia and all over Europe. People are now beginning to speak out and put their fears aside.

It would only be a good thing if the lasers were capable of cutting the targets in two!

As I recall the shooting part of the pentathlon is done twice during the race..once headed out and once headed back.A contestant using an air gun in this contest has a number of things to deal with including wind,it’s direction and speed.How the heck you adjust for wind speed with a pellet gun is beyond me.If you’ve ever watched these guys shooting you can tell they need to be able to control their breathing and any other movement that might effect the trajectory of the pellet..so all a laser would do is take the wind parameters out of the mix.They still must line up on the target and squeeze the trigger at the right moment for maximum points.Then it would come down to who was in the best shape and most control.Pentathalon’s have been won and lost at this part of the venue.John X comes in,sights his rifle and fires off marginal hits because he is fighting the wind.Joe Y follows him a few minutes later and fires off all maximum hits because the wind changed or died out for a short period.Won or lost because of a projectile.I think if anything,using a laser helps to even the field.

Personally I think ALL of you Yuppie Scum Bag Bleeding Hearts should just stay inside and keep your mouths shut. If you do go outside be sure to keep looking UP! There are birds in the sky and they just might dodo in your EYE and then you can go back inside and continue to moan and groan in PRIVATE!

Well Virginia, I have have been handling firearms since before I was in Nam. I am now in my 60′s and still have both my eyes. If you follow all rules and directions everything will be safe. Rules are there for a reason.

Ummm laser guns?? What about effect of recoil of a “REAL” gun adjustment for wind etc are we playing a electronic game or is this truly competition? Go back to the real deal duhh this is after all competition next thing you know they’ll be putting rubber suction cups on darts oooops they already have.
