Two questions:
1) Can it make coffee?
2) Does it come with a warranty?

that's about 125 caliber. :) dunno... seems like a big deal just to shoot a bullet that's big, but not all that big.

Interesting.A few years from now, every round fired by the artillery will be a guided one.GPS or other.That is probably the most dramatic change we will see in artillery in the near future.
