This REALLY makes me ill.
I'm into my single shot setup for about $5k and nothing is custom. The Islamo-Terrorists in London used chemicals a 6 year old can buy for under $100 and hid the bombs in backpacks. Why the sudden curse of the .50. No terrorist is their right mind would use a one shot tool like this as long as Diesel fuel and fertilizer are available.

From the 60 minutes site...
"THE BIG GUN - The .50 caliber rifle's long range and armor-piercing firepower would make it a potent weapon for terrorists. Add to that how easy it is to acquire in the U.S. and ship overseas, and some are worried it could become just that. Ed Bradley reports. "

If They are worried about exports, look at what the Chinese, N. Koreans and CIS states are sending.

Hezbollah are using UAV's for crissake!!!

Arrrrggghhhh.

"The engineers are the bomb-makers for the young suicide bombers sent to kill Israelis by the Islamic militant organisations such as Hamas. And their explosive of choice, triacetone triperoxide or TATP - named today as an explosive used in last week's London bombings - is the reason for their disfigurement.

TATP's base ingredients - drain cleaner, bleach and acetone - can be bought easily and without attracting suspicion; its chemical composition is simple; and in its finished form it is almost undetectable by sniffer dogs or conventional bomb detection systems.

For the same reasons that Hamas uses TATP to send suicide bombers undetected into Israel, the al-Qaeda network has adopted TATP for its terror missions abroad. The substance was included as the trigger in the shoe bomb that Briton Richard Reid tried to detonate on a flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001, and in the identical device given to Reid's fellow bomber Sajid Badat, who aborted his mission."

Lucky that the terrorists never heard of the Nucular Loudenboomerkrackenflasher, klick da linke for movie
