Their range and penetration is such that using them would endanger almost everyone within a mile or so. Ammunition is expensive and people tend to look at you strangely when you ask the Wal-Mart clerk if they have any in stock. A 50-cal gun would make a nice addition to Greenland rolling technique, however. I'm guessing that one shot fired to port or starboard could actually rotate the boat one complete turn. Sadly, I'm not an expert on the names of Greenland technique rolls so I have no idea what incomprehensible name would be assigned to it. Perhaps Duane could help us out here. :D Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA www.nwkayaking.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
