No Katt, this flesh hurling concept *wasn't* well thought out in the
framework of the SR universe or the rules. It quite simply cannot work,
and displays to me either an ignorance of the rules (which is totally
acceptable to be truthful) or a willful discarding of certain rules with
the application of others, which isn't acceptable to me.

It was at best an ignorant idea (which, again, isn't bad in and of itself)
and at worst a full-blown munchy concept worthy of being torn-apart.

Of course, let's just say for a split second this idea could work. How in
the frag could this cyber-regenerating ninja target the astral form? He'd
have to have astral perception! Otherwise, forget it, this ninja is
hurling chunks blindly, hitting walls instead of the astral beings.

Man, what a way to spend a morning...reading e-mail, mostly regarding the
"e-card" or this flesh cannon thing. Time for lunch...
