these have been around for years. Personally, I don't see them holding up to high lateral G's very well, but that's just me. I'll stick to my pneumatics.

Punctuation is for suckas i dont like to use alot of punctuation either i mean come on its not like it makes it hard to read my posts and if it does who cares because everyone that uses the internet is probably a cryptologist anyway.

You should have seen some of the blown up MRAP's and Strykers I saw over in Iraq. There's no such thing as bomb proof.
