Isn't that a bit drastic, even for the CN Borg? I think the manufacturer you reference only uses two "N's," dating all the way back to the orginal camera "Kwanon." Still, when I put the 500mm f4.5 on my Canon, some folks consider it a cannon (some even reference it as "the mountain howitzer."[8D]

Okay KP...done....anymore requests.... Dan large Diet Coke and some Jordan Almonds for me Vic Of course it isn't neccessary for me to stand up for America, since I'm Australian, but I will stand up for the US National Anthem. I was taught to do this at school on Coral Sea Day every year when we remember the 1942 sea battle, even though I wasn't around for that war. But I always thought the great thing about being a railfan was that you could go out and photgraph trains from public property, from roadsides and bridges without upsetting anybody. Sometimes railway employees (or even passers-by) get upset even when you are doing something quite legal that doesn't affect them. In that case I normally move elsewhere, since I don't see why I should share in something that is their problem. Besides, it is more fun to watch somebody getting upset than to participate. But Dan, I'm not quite sure what it is that you are proposing to vapourise these locomotives. The "sabot" rounds I'm familiar with are the sub-calibre projectiles used in our "Phalanx" close in weapons systems. We are only allowed to use tungsten projectiles rather than depleted uranium (although I understand Australia has about half the world's supply of non-depleted uranium so it isn't clear why!). The sabot (from the French word for "shoe") is also the source of the word "sabotage" from putting a shoe in the works. I think of this when I contemplate an FFG flight deck covered with these strange bright orange plastic banana peels after a CIWS firing. I should explain for those who don't need to worry about this that the "sabot" is a plastic cover over the CIWS projectile designed to "peel off" into four sections on firing, allowing the smaller, heavy "dart" to travel further and faster and hopefully find an incoming missile and upset it (along with a couple of hundred others) This could make your average SD70ACe look quite a bit like a colander and fairly static after going through the engine and control equipment, but would hardly vapourise it unless you fired quite a lot of rounds. I know the term is also used for anti tank rounds which have an armour piercing capability, and these would possibly have a more striking effect, but for vapourising, I would have thought that a five inch gun HE projectile with contact fuzing would be a simpler and cheaper option in the vapourising category.

But at some point any rational being has to stop and ask themselves if yielding even more control to those claiming power, simply to please THEM, is in the best interest of freedom. my take on that is that freedom is a precious commodity. Once you give it up, the price to get it back is always way higher.
