Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal...

Elmo  Escariot has an idea that is so filled with Win that it hurts.  But both barrels of a .470 Nitro Express?  That hurts ...

I'm in.  I even own a Tux, although I'd have too shave for the pencil thin mustache look ...
I yearned mightily to enter this fascinating yet repellent city, and besought the bearded man to land me at the stone pier by the huge carven gate Akariel; but he gently denied my wish, saying: "Into Thalarion, the City of a Thousand Wonders, many have passed but none returned. Therein walk only daemons and mad things that are no longer men, and the streets are white with the unburied bones of those who have looked upon the eidolon Lathi, that reigns over the city."
H. P. Lovecraft, The White Ship

    I really want to shoot that third stage. I love the 10,000 joule power requirement.

    I'm in. Won't take too many shots from a 91/30 to reach that limit.

    Too painful for me! But I'll watch.

    DaddyBear: About 2 1/2 shots by my count. (If you trust the Internet's muzzle energy figures for the Mosin, and Google's ability to convert from foot-pounds.)
