The Ultimate Answer to Kings: Maybe the Gen5 will be quicker to set up...

They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means "The Ultimate Argument of Kings," and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. "We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it's about: You'll do as I say or I'll send my goons to kill you."

I thought about that for a long time. If there's an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I've got bullets - he's got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that's not going to happen. So if there's an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain't bullets.

It finally came to me - and that's when I left the city, abandoned a goodly percentage of my goods, and gave all that was behind me a good, stiff Randian Shrug.

The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Maybe the Gen5 will be quicker to set up...

Via Tam, here's the ultimate concealment piece: The Gen4 Ninja Glock! I expect a write-up in Forgotten Weapons any day now.

Any hints?; June 13, 2011 at 8:23 PM

The scope is a variable power from 2- 9 miles and a mag that holds like 300 rounds of hollow point, wad-cutters, ice, meat, plastic and titanium bullets without a misfire.

What you see on the toob capture is the 1,000 MW lazer stirring up a 'typhoon' in the desert and it can be directed at your enemies.

It also has a cleaning kit that uses AR rods that came from the handy-dandy lazer emitter capsule under the barrel.; June 13, 2011 at 9:42 PM
