I believe they can cost up to half a million, and can weigh up to 10,000 pounds.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

The Piranha/LAV is a Swiss design, made by MOWAG. We (Canadians) just build them locally.

And I'll take a Piranha III 8x8, thanks:: :)
