    Ok... I know that a .410 shotgun is actually about 67 gauge, so I'm guessing that 40 gauge ends up being about .50 caliber. Knowing the Russians never did anything half way, I gotta think the recoil on that, combined with using a machete blade as a shoulder stock, leads to a rapid, unintended amputation at the shoulder (or cosmonauts were WAY tougher than we suspected).

    Umm, you did see the shoulder plate, right?

    They knew about the Iranian UFO crap long before anyone else did apparently.

    I was wondering that. I guess bullet goes one way, Yuri goes the other way.

    Mythbusters is trying to figure out how to test shooting a bullet in space. No word on if they'll be able to do it yet. I'd like to see tests about shooting a rifle on the moon. The idea being that the round can be shot fast enough to over come the gravity of the moon and create its own orbit.
