I see lately that people are trying to sell the light for caliber, high velocity, fragmenting bullets again, as though that shit has never been tried before.

Mike GriffinOh shit, I just came up with the plan. Have some ammo loaded up with that 'flying ashtray' projectile cor-bon used to use and have some PVC inserts made with different designs.

Imma be rich...
