    - Something I was reading the other day said that 70-80% of shots fired miss. - Ender Oct 9, 07:11 2

    - Ah, thanks -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:58
  - nah, an extended clip will hold 17-20 rounds. -- nm - decline Oct 9, 06:51 3
    - Hell, even my mag holds 15. -- nm - Ender Oct 9, 07:10
    - Do police use those though? -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:56
    - Should I be scared you know this? :) -- nm - budice Oct 9, 06:55
