fine thats what i thought, i was just making suggesting for all those
thinking of 'acquiring' one without a sin and for less than legal
purposes (such as rearranging Aztechnology, i said less that legal
not bad!!)

Yes i had expected the explosies to be separate, why they were not on
my list of additions i was just thinking a bit more could be added to
the list before it gets to 'door in Aztech building - player to GM,
etc. does include..... doesn't it!!'

Hace to await someone who has some idea from the real world, i can
guess it trouble but how much i don't know.

fine, it is quite a while since the military had it, though how big
is such an item, there usually being quite a cost difference between
small and big though again the 'one chip' frequency agile radio (plus
a few odd bits and pieces) will no doubt arrive if the market exists.

Na dispatching runers is cheaper, lawers cost so much :)

I think there was more holes thanks the other reply. Yeah, iu was
just trying to help make it 'slightly' possible, ok fixing a laser
efficient enough to do this might well prove impossible (in something
where running the truck / plane carrying the thing over the offending
door wouldn't be easier) but it might not. Still actual submissions
are to be encouraged, i cleared out over 40 emails from NEPRS in a
week last night!! given i have seen 0 in 2 months before.
