I didnt receive this reply, only got it as part of abortion_engine's
reply.
Anyway, your comments are less that useful. Any OPINION on the damage
code of the nails? I realise you may have commented but I didnt get
the post.

You're right about the composite carbon goodies. I dunno about its
heat resistance properties
but they had better be pretty good considering how damn hard the suff
is suppossed to be.

Anyhow, if you use straight ret nails (two sets dikoted) my face

gonna have a 6M damage code with these suckers. Sound unbalanced?
