I am a fan of the beat-stick, as is well known.
However, if a simple few feet of wood is too small to solve my problem, then I move up to the next logical step: Hitting someone with a nearby planet.

I'll go for the Ultimate Weapon, designed by Hactar, the supercomputer originally created by the Silastic Armorfiends of Striterax. It is a very small bomb that, when activated, connects every star to every other star and, thus, destroys the universe.

L-35 9mm.

NOPE

If i wanted a 9mm I'd get a sig in .40 ;)

Real german lugers are cool though, one of these days i'm going to pick one up.

Flaming bag is good for the door step, but honestly, shit on a stick http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/misthaufen.gif? How are you supposed to throw that properly? :p

You 'fling' it by a clever wrist action, or you run at people with it ;)

gun: anything of the G36 line
melee: zanbato
fictional: Fireball (now how did that go? great spell, great spell...)

why no one gives FN-FAL the recognition it deserves :)
Because it's not too accurate and only has a 20 round magazine?

Let me add another weapon to favourite arsenal: Flamethrower, excellent against guerilla forces and for bunker cleaning.

A TOPOL-M tipped with big Fusion bombs.

Or a T-80 if I just want to kill hadji's . hit em with the coax and then grind them under the tracks as they lay whimpering on the ground.

Maybe also a MRLS system to rain firey death on a village when its too small to use up an expensive TOPOL-M on.

A shish kebab, on the other hand, that's a real man's weapon.

A baseball bat with a number of very big nails driven through it.


It would just be amusing.

Ohhh time for a big list

Partisan
3 round revolving shotgun + 9 rounds
Ruger Super Redhawk (with scope) + 18 rounds (6 rounds to a clip)
Walther P22 (with laser sight) + 3 magazines (10 round mag)
6x 3 inch (blade) throwing knives
Buster sword (solid iron construction, because hey if you can handle the heft having the added force in your swings is totaly worth it)

Obviously I wouldn't attempt to carry all this at once the guns alone would add up to a fair bit of weight with all the ammo and carrying more than two sidearms at the same time as the buster sword would just be silly.

But you can’t travel through time with a Gunblade.
You bring up an interesting point.

Yeah, but Lugers are so hard to find in good condition at affordable prices....

I would say "The Truth" but that's actually a pretty ineffective weapon - many people are completely immune to it.

You 'fling' it by a clever wrist action, or you run at people with it ;)
Yeah! That's the spirit! But if you ain't willing to use your hands, it's only half as effective. (Not that I would know - I've actually, honestly, never done that. I've seen enough monkeys, though! :D)
Ever hear of Punji sticks?;)
Yes, but that is only a passive weapon.

I would say "The Truth" but that's actually a pretty ineffective weapon - many people are completely immune to it.
Ah, but it can hurt so very much, so it's still useful.

For a less loose interpretation of the rules, I would go for the RC-P90 from Goldeneye 007. It also appeared in Perfect Dark as the RC-P45. For a melee weapon, the Dragon's Tooth Sword from Deus Ex.

Ah, but it can hurt so very much, so it's still useful.

Ah well.

I like to use the quarterstaff, or my dual longswords for close combat.

More practically, I have a S&W 9mm (8 rounds) and an old mini-14 with a 20 round clip. Not the best, but it's all I have.

But my all time favorite is: Sword-chuks!

It's not as easy as it looks. Unless you place some restrictions on what you're doing.

Say, for any target below 300 meters, you have to hit something like the top of their head, or the spinal column in their neck. Or hitting targets much further out.

This!

LOL. That's what I mean. They don't do any better when they're doing CAS for real, either.

I was holding for my brief and I heard the radio just explode after -2 rolled in on a target and was watching lead's bombs explode in front of him. First he thought it was cool to see the bombs explode. After the first few pieces of shrapnel hit, he was a little more concerned.

It can be quite deadly, though, when employed properly.

When it comes to fighter-style vehicles, my choice of weapon is the Federation Danube-Class Runabout. Much more powerful than any other, it can easily hold its own against even a Jem'Hadar class warship if managed carefully enough.

For destroyer-power vehicles, I'd have to go with the Defiant-class starship. Small, capable, and damned powerful, it packs a superior punch.

For sheer undeniable power, however, I move straight up to either the Sovereign-class starship or the Prometheus-class starship, all things depending. Sovereign is more reliable, but the Prometheus has that additional power to it. It all depends on which is more necessary.

When it comes to hand weapons of a ranged nature, I prefer a type-two hand phaser, as opposed to the bulky phaser rifles. For melee weapons, I find that a twin-bladed Naginata is more than suitable.

...

That's all fantasy stuff, of course. In reality, if I were to use something ranged, it'd probably be an SVD Dragunov sniper rifle. For melee, I'd still use a twin-bladed Naginata, as that's not that hard to actually make or weild.

So, yah. There ya go.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

A time travel ability and all forms of combat/survival training imagineable.

It doesn't matter how big the uber-powerful space armada they send against me; I just go back in time to when theirspecies were single cell organisms and remove the ENTIRE species from existance.

In smaller engagements, I just go back to 3 years before you were conceived and shoot your almost-father in the groin with a large-calibre firearm.

The fight cannot be lost if I remove you from existance!

Still, weapon of choice for dictatorships around the world (see Brazil, Africa etc.)

Nothing wrong with the accuracy of the FAL, 300 yards it will hit its intended target if the shooter knows how to shoot. It's a battle rifle, it's not an M21 accurized to shoot 1/4 MOA.

That said, my favorite weapon is the HK91/G3.

I'd like to see you assault a fixed position with an ATGM launcher. Or, hell, take on a tank that isn't >20 years old and has modern active protection systems and the latest armour.

Yay, missile kill obsolete tank. Big props to missile. Maybe next missile will do other clever trick like blow hole in drywall or smash tonka toy.

That's what air support is for. It's what makes tanks as obsolete as battleships.

An argument completely disproven in Vietnam and Kosovo. Air support isn't even remotely capable of filling in for ground forces, and tanks have proven their worth several times in recent memory, most notably the two Gulf Wars.

But - Air can't take territory. And Infantry still finds it a royal bitch to slay the metal dragon.

Tanks aren't the queens of the battlefield anymore, but then, they never really were. Combined arms is the name of the only game in town.

Tanks on tanks are great. Did you notice how the T-72's fared? The A-10s were more than up to the job, as well. I don't know what the ROE were in Kosovo, but I'd take air support over no air support every day.

I'd take tanks-with-air-support over air support alone, though. And given the T-72s were ancient and badly maintained with crews prone to abandoning them because their air conditioning wasn't up to working in the desert and the interior became absolutely unbearable, it's hardly surprising they didn't do well.

One of the big problems that most aircraft have today is the requirement for visual identification, acquisition, and guidance of the weapons that they deploy. If I made an educated guess about the problems that faced ground-to-air missions in Kosovo, it would be that the weather wasn't as good as it was in the desert.

We need a real replacement for the Intruder.

The A-10, by comparison, has crude night and bad weather capability.

Probably the best setup for bad weather/night capability outside of the Intruder is the LANTIRN system, but you only find that on Strike Eagles and a few F-16s.

I'll second that. But let's make sure it can defend itself this time.

I'll second that. But let's make sure it can defend itself this time.

We could do pretty damned well for an airplane that didn't have guns and rarely carried sidewinders. The most effective tactic was to get air superiority, of course. Flying low was pretty good too. We had more than a few fighters break off in excercises like Cope Thunder and Red Flag because we would dive for the deck, then fly at fifty or sixty feet AGL. The maneuver to get to that altitude was ususally what put them off. A couple negative g turns, followed by a six g spiral to the deck was more than they wanted to contend with.

When I mentioned Zunis earlier, one of the things I always had in the back of my mind was that all I needed to do to scare the crap out of some bogie was bring my nose around at him and fire off one of the rockets. All of a sudden, he'd think he was fighting an airplane that could shoot back and it would make him hold off just long enough to let me get out of the fight.

As for tank discussion, yes its always the weapon technology thats better throughout the history. But tanks, aircraft, helicopters, APCs, mortars etc are all force multipliers that you need in a modern army and if your enemy has them and you dont then you are in big big trouble :)

I honestly wouldn't know about ACed tanks, though. I do know that (because of ABC safety) they are, but I'm just a well informed, military hardware crazy conscientious objector, no more (but no less either!).
Our supervisors liked to joke about us being the best armed and informed objectors they've ever seen.

I blame it on computer games! ;)

Eugenics.

Or a horseman's mace.

A pair of katanas, or a battlemech from MechWarrior.

Ah, weapons, I love 'em.

Professionally, I have to be proficient with all sorts of firearms.

My favourite so far are the Diamaco C7A2 (M-16 family weapon, adapted for the Canadian Forces and a few others) and the good old .50 cal Browning Machine Gun, or M-2 as the Americans call it.

But as a hobby, I study Western martial arts. Especially the armed ones.

My favourite melee weapon has to be the German Longsword. Two-handed, lightning-fast, and requires a lot more skill than most people would think. I am actually convinced that it is superior to the Katana.

A pair of katanas, or a battlemech from MechWarrior.

which mech? Mine is Daishi loaded with autocanons :D (meaning heavenly storm in japanese? something like that)


****

and one of my personal choices for a melee weapon is yatağan. Everyone knows that high quality japanese steel to make katanas is produced by first making a steel of steel as thin as paper folding the steel into many layers and then forging it (it goes on with many details), turkish art of blacksmithing is similar in quality but the steel is made into two bars twisted around each other and then forged, so like japanese swords ancient turkish blades just get stronger when they are constantly used.
here are some pictures at metmuseum there is incredible detail given

The shape of blade gives the user the ability to end his slash with a pull, this second motion guarantees the target is cut (including heavy plate armor) again there is a very big similarity with katana. In kendo there is a second motion with slash instantly done after-together with slashing motion to cut the target(or limbs) down.

How is the German Longsword different from other longswords? (Ignorant me thought Bihänder is Bihänder?)

How is the German Longsword different from other longswords? (Ignorant me thought Bihänder is Bihänder?)

I'm pretty sure he's just talking about the Zweihander/Bidenhander/Bihander/Dopplehander.

The combat ones actually aren't very heavy. They range from four to six feet in overall length, and are anywhere from four to eight pounds. The six-foot, eight-pound behemoths are monstrous in comparison to other swords, but they're exceptionally well-balanced and deceptively fast.

Ah, a big, fat, and slow target. Excellent.

Speed is life, which is why smaller is better. I (and my lance) of BSW-X1 Bushwackers (Inner Sphere 3058) will utilize superior manuverability, including the ability to maintain a distance, attacking from basically all directions with a complement of ER Large Lasers and LRM 5's.

There will be nothing but a large crater left of that vat-born bucket of bolts when I'm done with it. :D

Well, before I posted that I did a little Wiki search on it and pretty much all of those were considered either Langschwerter or Bihänder of various designs ;)

Puddle Jumpers all the way :)

(Just a note: The javelin video posted earlier was against an export T-72. Here's a good lineup of soviet tank quality: T-54 < T-55 < T-62 < Export T-72 < T-72 < T-64 < T-80 < T-90... Though I like the T-80 more. Regardless, blowing up a t-72 isn't a big accomplishment. Bradleys obliterated them in the gulf war, using 25mm shells.)

Now, my list!

Commercial airliners(sorry, but they can work pretty well... suicide attacks, mercenary transports, etc...)

RPO-A Thermobaric FAE launchers. A 155mm artillery shell in a recoilless shoulder-launched rocket

Glock 10mm. Strongest viable pistol out there.

Actually, I'm talking about the Langes Schwert, and as opposed to a zweihander, you can use a longsword in only one hand while it is designed to be used in two. The uneducated typically call that sort of weapon a bastard sword. Roughly four feet in overall length, with a weight just a shade under four pounds. Moves like a dream. It rose into its own in the 15th century, and it is a beautifully brutal art, and a science at the same time.

And before you ask, I find it superior to the katana for two primary reasons.

1) It is intended for blade-to-blade parries, and a hard cut to the flat of one of those diamond-section blades won't break it.

2) It's double-edged.

My boobs. They tend to be very disarming.

One of my favorite fake swords.

Ohhh time for a big list

Partisan
3 round revolving shotgun + 9 rounds
Ruger Super Redhawk (with scope) + 18 rounds (6 rounds to a clip)
Walther P22 (with laser sight) + 3 magazines (10 round mag)
6x 3 inch (blade) throwing knives
Buster sword (solid iron construction, because hey if you can handle the heft having the added force in your swings is totaly worth it)

Obviously I wouldn't attempt to carry all this at once the guns alone would add up to a fair bit of weight with all the ammo and carrying more than two sidearms at the same time as the buster sword would just be silly.

If you ever find a magazine- or clip-fed Super Redhawk, I'd like to hear about it. If you want a .22LR pistol, a target or match model would probably fit your arsenal better as it would allow you options commensurate with the cartridge it fires. As to the shotgun, you'd do better with a pump-action with an extended magazine tube.

Just one man's humble opinion! ;)

Just wanted to say I think he meant 6 rounds can be loaded into the cylinder at a time, he just called it a clip. But anyway... my favorite weapon... The Spork!

But seriously, I like that .40 caliber Sig Sauer handgun, I can't remember its exact name, but I went shooting with my uncle one time and he brought his. It's an awesome little piece of work, its accurate, and it doesn't hurt your wrist that much, even after firing a little over 100 rounds out of it. Then again, a .357 will pretty much do any job you need it to do ^_^.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.

i'm gonna go with either a halbard.....

or and entire corps of ... i think it's armored infantry. APCs, foot troops, towed artillary... very shiney. and much cheaper to replace than an equivilant tank unit. and probibly faster. and harder to hit.

not to mention the idea of chaseing tanks with LAV-4s and AT guns entertains me, and i'm a great fan of infantry. very versatile, those chaps.

persona ranged weapons would probibly be in the order of shotguns or fully automatic weapons of some sort.... i really Really suck at aiming... stupid screwed up weird depth perception....

humm... oh! faverot weapon taht's not terrible effective anymore... 12pound cannon. fired case [or was it canister?] from outside of musket range.... mass those babys in large batterys [as the russians did :D] and... umm.... things die. . . . things die quite lots.... in large numbers. with much dieing.

on the subject of mechs... i think i tended towards mid-hevys with a couple of small lasers, a bigger laser, huge loads of long range missiles, and some midweight autocannon. i may be thinking of two different setups. lost the disk some time ago, and it was MechWarrior 2, anyway.

oh yeah: modernized battleships ftw :D

but yeah, after all that, the halbard tops my list of fav weapons.

Ah, the Mek’leth. A nice choice indeed,

It'd be better if the little blade was on the other side of the grip so you had a combination sword and knuckle duster, I'd think.

I prefer Argus to Bushwacker in favor of putting lots of low caliber clan autocannons with medium range (I had 6 of them I think) but this choice of autocannon is of course for short missions only.
My Daishi configuration is a brawler with clan LBMs, which instantly destroys small mech with one salvo and makes the big ones fall when put into right point. Then another salvo to the mech on ground and you got a rubble. Its about having a point shot and rest of my lance is designed to give me support I need. A vulture or catapult full of long range missiles keeps me from being tired at long range by countering enemy long range. And two other medium mechs with medium range energy weapons make it balanced.

Time: The Beginning

Father time, I'm running late
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend
Now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose

Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one
Not even me

An enemy I can't defend
My final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place

I can't get any younger
Time has brutal hunger
AND
Time: The End

I see Chronos
His eyes are on fire
He holds my life
And I see my time expire

Mmmm. I think I prefer GMC’s theory and just assume that the Klingon’s got it wrong. Well, images from the series (found via google) seem to support my theory.
The design has enough other disadvantages though. But I suppose it really depends on how it's supposed to be used. (It's not like there aren't a lot of weird special purpose blade weapons in our history)

Well, images from the series (found via google) seem to support my theory.

The main problem with your theory is that if you hold it that way the grip has a dip in the centre, which would make it somewhat awkward to hold.

Ambition.

The main problem with your theory is that if you hold it that way the grip has a dip in the centre, which would make it somewhat awkward to hold.Ah well, you know, Klingons.. Maybe they have oddly shaped hands, as well as ridges on their head :p
As I said, there's some problems with the design, but that seems to be how they're used in the series. Holding them in another way would be even more awkward, unless that bladelet part was put on the other side..
Some bat'leths have the same problem, btw (some more than others). Although it's a longer curve, so it should affect the grip less.

Th way i see it is this.
The Black Knight got his arse handed to him by King Arthur.
Chuck Norris is weak, the only thing that group has going for it is the SAS and the Killer Rabbits.

King Arthur, LRDG and the Holy Hand Grenade would beat that Motley crew.

The combat ones actually aren't very heavy. They range from four to six feet in overall length, and are anywhere from four to eight pounds. The six-foot, eight-pound behemoths are monstrous in comparison to other swords, but they're exceptionally well-balanced and deceptively fast.
I know. I want one...or two, just in case.
Change the ammo from truth to propaganda and with enough people you got yourself a human wawe, good old Russian tactic :D
That only works of you have LOTS of artillery. Or you're storming the Bastille.
I dont know the French with thier gian cow and wooden rabbit launching catapult might though they seem to be able to hit poor bystandards loaded down with large backs and carrying cocunut halves more often than not.

sorry couldnt resist putting a montypython comment there :p
Thank you.:)
i'm gonna go with either a halbard.....

or and entire corps of ... i think it's armored infantry. APCs, foot troops, towed artillary... very shiney. and much cheaper to replace than an equivilant tank unit. and probibly faster. and harder to hit.

not to mention the idea of chaseing tanks with LAV-4s and AT guns entertains me, and i'm a great fan of infantry. very versatile, those chaps.

persona ranged weapons would probibly be in the order of shotguns or fully automatic weapons of some sort.... i really Really suck at aiming... stupid screwed up weird depth perception....

humm... oh! faverot weapon taht's not terrible effective anymore... 12pound cannon. fired case [or was it canister?] from outside of musket range.... mass those babys in large batterys [as the russians did :D] and... umm.... things die. . . . things die quite lots.... in large numbers. with much dieing.

on the subject of mechs... i think i tended towards mid-hevys with a couple of small lasers, a bigger laser, huge loads of long range missiles, and some midweight autocannon. i may be thinking of two different setups. lost the disk some time ago, and it was MechWarrior 2, anyway.

oh yeah: modernized battleships ftw :D

but yeah, after all that, the halbard tops my list of fav weapons.
Oh, that's mechanized infantry, btw. And modern battleships=guided missile platforms.:p
Indeed, including me.

I'm going to beat you with your own favorite weapon.:p

Time: The Beginning

[Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman]

Father time, I'm running late
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend
Now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose

Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one
Not even me

An enemy I can't defend
My final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place

I can't get any younger
Time has brutal hunger
AND
Time: The End

[Dave Mustaine]

I see Chronos
His eyes are on fire
He holds my life
And I see my time expire

Beat the clock
My head starts to spin
Tick, tock
I can't let time win



One of the most emotional pieces ever :)

Also there is: Father Time from Richie Sambora. I think the her as life in this piece and it all fits in.
FATHER TIME

FATHER TIME
I COULDN'T MAKE HER WANNA STAY
I COULDN'T SEEM TO FIND THE WORDS TO SAY
NOW I HAVE TO LIVE IN YESTERDAY
FATHER TIME

I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE ON MY SIDE
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD KEEP OUR LOVE ALIVE
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD KEEP HER SATISFIED

THE CLOCK KEEPS TICKIN' AND I KEEP ON TICKIN 'BOUT YOU
I'M KNOKIN' AT THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART BUT I CAN'T BREAK THROUGH

FATHER TIME
GRANT ME JUST ANOTHER DAY
OF OUR LOVE I TRIED TO MAKE HER STAY
FATHER TIME
DON'T TELL ME IT'S TO LATE
ALL MY LIFE YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD WAIT
FATHER TIME

NOW SHE'S GONE
SHE DIDN'T EVEN SAY GOODBYE
I GUESS SHE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO LIE
FATHER TIME
ONLY YOU CAN TURN THE PAGE
AND CLOSE THE CURTAIN ON THIS EMPTY STAGE
ONLY YOU CAN TAKE MY PAIN AWAY

MY HEART KEEPS BREAKIN' AND MY BODY KEEPS ACHING FOR YOU
IT'S TIME TO HOLD ON BUT THERE'S NOTHIN' LEFT TO HOLD ON TO

FATHER TIME
GRANT ME JUST ANOTHER DAY
OF OUR LOVE I TRIED TO MAKE HER STAY
FATHER TIME
DON'T TELL ME IT'S TO LATE
ALL MY LIFE YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD WAIT
FATHER TIME

FATHER, FATHER CAN'T YOU SEE I'M DEPENDING ON YOU
I'M DYING AT THE DOOR TO YOUR HEART AND I CAN'T BREAK THROUGH

FATHER TIME
GRANT ME JUST ANOTHER DAY
OF OUR LOVE I TRIED TO MAKE HER STAY
FATHER TIME
DON'T TELL ME IT'S TO LATE
ALL MY LIFE YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD WAIT
FATHER TIME
SHE'S YOUR CHILD MAKE HER MINE
FATHER TIME

im armed, now please disarm me :D

let me help instead ''pulls of arm from its socket'' :D it can now be used as a club, the most basic weapon ever.

After having reconsidered, I wish to change my favorite weapon to the following:

The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

To quote Brother Maynard for the intents of how to use the Holy Hand Grenade (as stated by Wikipedia...). This weapons pwns everything else!

...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this, Thy hand grenade, that with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits... in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [Whereupon the friar is urged, "skip ahead a bit, brother"]... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

you know its true.
I think it's true for women in General....not to be confused with women in general.:p

My boobs. They tend to be very disarming.


They've always disarmed me!! Boobs have always gotten me to feel so much better!!!!!!

A bullet and a nuclear weapon were talking.
The nuclear weapon was bragging on how many people it could kill and the damage it could do in just one use.
The bullet replied, "Yes, but I like the personal touch."
