I've used NeverLost a few times and judging by the directions I've gotten, I'd say the brightness sure doesn't need be be set any lower.

I'm well aware of it. Hell they're bought submarines. But why go through all the trouble of getting a .50 cal? And you sure as hell don't set up a freaking automatic .50 cal turret in downtown LA. If you're going to spend that kind of money, a Stinger surface-to-air missile makes a lot more sense. It's not going to cost much more and you are damn near guaranteed to slag an LAPD chopper.

But the repercussions of doing so are not good in the long term. Once some cartel does that, it's likely marshal law will go into effect and the national guard will outgun anything a crime ring will have. I'm pretty sure they know this, or it would have happened already. That's why using hunting rifles would be the simplest, and probably safest option. Once you light up the LAPD with military grade hardware, the US military will make the next move.

That's not simple at all, and probably damn easy to track back to you. A single shot .50 will probably set you back $2K+. One with a clip will be $8K if your are lucky. And an automatic is not something that you carry around, it will need to be mounted. And you'll need to have a license to own it, or find one you can steal. It's not like there are a lot of people who have a .50 cal, so you can't just go buy ammo at your local Walmart either.

You can pick up a cheap 30.06 for a couple hundred bucks. and probably a good enough scope for another $100. Even if you don't cause a catastrophic failure to a helicopter, you will most likely ground it with a single hit. and the cost to make it flight worthy again will probably be pretty damn high.

I'd guess that this program helps with crime that's not mainly done by gangs, or other criminal organizations. If it did, it would be rather easy to get a bunch of guys with hunting rifles to take shots at them. But I don't think you are going to see your average criminals organizing this.

Different times. I think They should try it again. Just look how little collateral there is with modern avionics in drones. I'm sure firing 6000 rounds per minute from a 20mm rotary cannon in LA will work out much better with today's technology. Besides, that hole in the skyscraper wouldn't have happened if Roy Scheider hadn't stolen their thunder.

Over time, they should end up costing less. Unless you don't pay for your electricity.

Thermite. It's all over in seconds.

Carolina Burana was the opera, the song was O'Fortuna. Was it his estate that sued? I always thought it was the unauthorized use of the orchestra performance.

Actually if you think about it, virtually all music is derivative.So if you can make the link far enough back, it becomes public domain. There, I've just invalidated the entire music copyrig

My father always said that the only difference between a lawyer and Jesse James, was that Jesse James carried a gun.

That's OK. They don't recognize your property claim and they only allow giant ants from their colony and food on their land.

And you sure don't look like a giant ant.

Didn't you ever get out of your mother's basement as a child? Everyone knows you don't eat the yellow snow.
