You know, I forwarded this to a group of colleagues yesterday with almost the same subject.

His only mistake was shooting it in anger in his place of business, disturbing the patrons.

A bar owner should not do anything that interrupts beer drinking.

He should have taken it out to the range, set it up against the backstop, and let fly.

I've known people that did that.

I've considered it several times myself actually.

Although I'm told nothing beats the self satsifaction of actually kicking the shit out of a misbehaving computer, ending by throwing it down a flight of steps.

Cathartic.

What, it's a violation of the DMCA to shoot your computer now? 'Unauthorized method of shutting down computer?'

Anyway, joke's on him .. the bar's going to need another computer now, which means even more money to the computer and software makers.

I like the range idea better. You'd need jacketed rifle rounds so that it doesn't explode, but just gets holes blown through it. I would think that if you use ball ammo in a pistol, it;s going to mushroom on impact and blow the crap out of it, possibly negating a second shot.

Believe me, one shot at a vile, misbehaving laptop of computer would not be enough!

Howdy all ,,
long time lurker, first time poster.
I Had to jump in to this topic .
1) jacketed bullets will pass right thru a puter case , .44mag will go thur the power supply , .44 spec will not .
2) a puter case is generly big enough that a hollow point will go in small desroy lots in side , and make a dent on the other side (fed hydro shocks RULE!!!!)
3) a CZ 52 (7.62x25) will go CLEAN thru most every puter and other electrical equip I have shot ,, hell it will power thru 1/8 inch stainless .

I call it gun theropy after a bad day

Zippyt!!! My brother! [or sister!] I have a CZ-52! I love that thing! It's loud, fast, and powerful, and can take the pressure of Eastern Bloc ammo. I'm going to have to order some happy stuff for it from Makarov.com one of these days. I had the replace the firing pin because some big jerk [that guy who lives in the mirror] dry fired it a few times more than he should have. Have you had any experience with the 9mm conversion kits/barrels?
