@pveg65 well a shotgun can blow your head off totally

@pveg65 A 45. can do that. A 44. can do that. A 9mm can do that. If you have a passion for guns you know the damage they can do.

That's actually pretty damn impressive. I wonder if she'll get it tweaked a little in upcoming years, just to see how close to normal-looking modern techniques can get it?
