    As I finish up my spring in winter cleanup, I'm feeling the need to terminate technology Rob style, but with no strong wall handy, Im planning on an afternoon at the range. :D

    For my first activity, I cant decide between trying skeet with 2.5 IDE drives, or just lining then up on the backstop and mowing them down like bowling pins.

    I also thought about maybe a penatration test module, shooting them with:

    22
    38
    9mm
    357
    40
    44 mag
    45ACP
    45LC
    10mm
    223
    308
    5.7 x 28
    12 slug

    Other calibers on special request, these are just what I have on hand.

    Then Im going to branch out to some others, including a cf-28 and a pair CF-47s, some MPC x1000, and end with some 28 and 29 damaged lids.

    Any other suggestions?

    12GA slug should tear a hole through anything close up but try distances on the lids and let me know

    The rifle range is seven hundred yards, but most of my stuff is SBR so I'll be a little closer.

    I do have a Serbu super shorty in 12 gauge, basically a remington 870 with a pistol grip and 5 inch barrel, so a slug should be interesting, not to mention fun to hold onto. :(

    OK, I will end it with the SCAR M17, 7.62, that or break out a buddies Barret M82, but that thing is almost to much.

    Speaking from experience, the HDD skeet shoot will be a disappointment and a rather serious PITA when you have to go searching for the victim HDDs.

    Even a direct, close-cluster hit at 30 yards yields only moderate damage; sometimes knocking off a few SMDs and cracking a PCB or a few dings in the platter cover. By far, the greater damage is done by their contact with the ground; 3.5" drives especially like to roll edge-on due to considerable rotational velocity from the traps. I've actually seen a couple laptop HDDs dig in or separate the PCB from launch velocity though. :laugh:

    For maximum explosive potential, I recommend shooting them off of fenceposts with a high-velocity round like your 7.62 NATO; set them up on edge and place a high-visibility yellow or orange paint mark at the axis of the spindle as a target. Once you get a little experience, you'll be exploding them all over the place with one or two shots like I used to do with Grand-Dad's old Enfield. :D

    Shot.

    Why not simply tape a grenade to it? I mean, if yer going for overkill, why the heck not?

    Well, not sure I can get a 106 round at Walmart, but I'll check....

    And I havent played with grenades since wearing a bright blue wool cap and vacationing in Kosovo during the 1999-2000 serbian sporting season. :)

    Not a bad suggestion as a grenade were only 10 DM on the blackmarket, while a box of 7.62 is about $32. USD. I should have stocked up.

    Might try the Walmart in Baghdad or Kabul. They seem to have an abundance of explosives readily available from SOMEWHERE over there. I think they may be special ordering them from the Tehran store.
