A Google image search reveals it is a hand mike.

I prefer a headset, myself.

Leaves your hands free for the gun, innit?

If I rephrased the question in the form of 'technology in the service of interpersonal communication or technology in the service of causing massive bodily trauma to unwilling recipients?' it wouldn't be quite so elegant.

I see what you are trying to say, but you just know that popular culture is always going to celebrate the darker side of human nature. Even back in the earliest days of human civilisation, I bet the songs about making the rivers flow red with the blood of enemy tribes were more popular than the songs about bringing in the harvest.

Water-pistol.

The ammo is almost free, and the victim just shouts "hey! you bastard!" instead of dying.

I think that the majority of popular culture is actually more primarily based on love rather than hatred - love temporarily thwarted by opposition (without which there is little narrative), but love nonetheless.

Apropos of which, the correct place to shoot a girl is either on one nipple, or right between the legs.

And for either sex, the back of the neck, the stomach, or right between the legs.

With the water-pistol, of course.

Just as soon as the gun-nuts back off, I intend to hijack this thread onto "Hand grenades vs custard pies: which one is better?"
Or perhaps "anti-personel mines vs whoopee-cushions."
I'm comfortable here. Bring it on.

Just so long as you don't combine them. The grenade/pie combo would be spectacularly messy; and the mined whoopee-cushion simply an exercise in adding insult to injury.

IIRC the Geneva Convention requires that all areas planted with mined whoopee-cushions must be clearly signposted, which is something of a relief, but just leads to fake whoopee-cushion minefields being used as a tactic.

Or injury to insult!! Think I just woke my flatmate up laughing :D :D Thankyou.

Even better: at the moment, both AK47 and huh? are beating SM58...

why am I reminded of an old episode of Buck Rodgers in the 25 century...

where Buck grabs an old (and locked and loaded) M60 and the pirate looked incredulously at him
"you fool, that's an old Earth Message sender!"
*Buck sprays the room with bullets.*
"Got the message?"

hmm... With an AKyou can kill a person once, but with a mic, one can kill a person a thousand times.

if you have an AK and a thousand or more bullets you can kill a thousand people at least once .

Have you ever seen something on tv where the terrorists/drugdealers/gangmembers are armed with SM58s?

and with one mic and recording equiptment, you can kill those thousand people a thousand more times.

and unlike bullets, you can reuse Recording Equiptment. :D
