I'd take death over Morministan, thanks anyway though, Old Virginny is where the roots have gone down, and here they'll rot when I'm buried in the clay.

The idea of arcing 40mm grenades from a break top launcher that shredded NVA flesh doesn't appeal to you? At all? You're slipping old timer! :whistle:

As for owning, the pyrotechnic issue would be a serious problem. I wasn't aware the ballistic rounds were so fiery.

Well, the pyro rounds would probably have a hard time not getting tagged as destructive devices (which may be why I've never heard of anything like that available in the civilian sector). Mostly the 40mm guys stick with chalk rounds, smoke rounds, flares, and the exotics - beehives, buckshot, shotgun adapters, etc. The 26.5mm adapters are also popular, and currently much cheaper to shoot than 40mm. Had a chance to shoot some of the 26.5 smoke rounds a while back in a 203, they shot to point of aim and put out about as much smoke as a "real" 40mm smoke round. I was suitably impressed.

I ought to know more than I do, since it's technically part of the job description...
