Doesn't it depend on what the bullets are being shot into? And for what reason?
Well, I understand that bananas don't fly 1 kilometer with any kind of accuracy (although it would be awesome if they did!), but, a banana-sized bullet is kind of the textbook definition of
overkill,
don't you think?
Unless there is such a thing as brachiosaur hunting, that I don't know about.

Well, not if you're not killing things.
It would be nice to fund those directly but we can always seem to justify it in the name of national security.
Agreed. But that's not how it is. It's something we have to work toward, and right now, in a country where ID is being debated, I'll take the funding hidden under cover of night until senses are come to.
My country is messy. It's like a sea of diarrhea coating everything, and it's going to take a long time to air it all out. Decades, maybe, before the pendulum swings back.
Heh, don't you think I should have the right to defend my home and family from attackers? Shouldn't I be able to use whatever weaponry I need to protect the lives of my loved ones, including heavy machine-guns, flamethrowers and nuclear weapons?

To defend themselves against the sharks with friggin' laser beams on their heads?
Have we all heard about the government research into controlling sharks, turning them into weapons? This is cool, as it resulted in the coolest blog title ever: Shark and Awe.
A moat, sharks, deathbeam lasers on sharks' backs...Bond villains have the right idea.
Hee!! Laser-mounted shark crosspost! I love my Buffistas.
If we could fund education adequately in the name of national security that would be keen
This actually happened for science and math education after Sputnik. Maybe we could get the money to improve science and math education today if the Chinese invented a giant killer robot.
